The divine already has a perfect pathway for us prepared and ready for us to get to wherever we want to go, not because it is bossy or wants to control us but because it wants us to be happy.
Consider it this way if you had a child who wanted to go to the toy store and wanted to go cross two busy streets but you knew there was a way for them to avoid both streets and get there faster you would tell them and guide them. That is what the divine is doing all the time with everything and everyone.
The thing is sometimes we are stubborn and want to do it our way and the divine being love allows us to make mistakes not because it is cruel or unkind but because it will not go against our free will choice
