If there is no real reason to use the spell then I would ask why the cleric is casting it. "Orcs might ambush us in the next minute and I'd like to boost my initiative." is probably not a valid reason unless the cleric was played as utterly paranoid. Preparing for possible initiative when opening a door in a dungeon that you heard noises from is entirely different to casting it every waking minute while travelling to the next town.I play a wizard with the magic initiate feat to gain the guidance cantrip and it is certainly an immensely powerful cantrip, but I would never ask my DM if I could cast the spell every 54 second just in case something happened. I only use it if I'm pretty certain that my target will get to use it before it expires. If WotC wanted it to be an always active buff they would have made the duration to eight hours, no concentration.Asking your deity for help with a specific task is fine. Asking your deity to hold your hand wherever you go is not.</blockquote>
