You're quite welcomed, Bamboozled.
You are not alone. Not too long ago, I was there also. I just want you to know that there does NOT haveto be a struggle in your relationship with God. He wants you to be at peace. He wants you to trust Him. He wants you to know that He absolutely LOVES and ADORES you. And He wants you (along with everyone else) to KNOW that HE IS GOD. Here is some added food for thought. For a long time, I went mostly on what OTHERS (yes, even my mother) told me about God. Sure, I could quote you something out of the Bible and even give you a so-called "meaning". But I was going purely on what OTHER PEOPLE were telling me and not what God wanted to reveal to me himself. You see, I didn't know what a real PERSONAL relationship with God meant until I arrived at a state of utter CONFUSION. You see, I've learned that God does not dwell on what man dwells on. "His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts". We can't even BEGIN to think like Him. He's just way beyond what we can even begin to comprehend. So many people think that God is some type of tyrant who gets kicks out of seeing His people suffer and not prosper. But He's soooo much more deeper than that. All I can say is TALK to Him...that's all He wants. He YEARNS for a relationship with us. Just talk to Him...and then LEAVE it with Him. The Word says "I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed bear bad bread". You haveto KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW that you ARE the righteousness of God. Then, and ONLY then will you cease to be confused.
I'm praying for you (and you do the same for me, okay?).
