If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read "President Can't Swim".
To believe in God or in a guiding force because someone tells you to is the height of stupidity. We are given senses to receive our information within.

Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads.

Sometimes the cure for restlessness is rest.
