French term or phrase: mener sur le bon chemin
Good evening,

Could you help me?
I've met with the expressions: "mener par le bon chemin" and "mener sur le bon pied", but that. The text:

Nul doute que les tarots nous aidaient dans nos choix pour nous *mener sur le bon chemin*.

Thanks in advance for your help and comments!
