One comment I like by someone I really respect (www.FlintsNotes.com) is: 

God is better able to lead than we are to follow. 

Consider this: If we really are our Father's "children," how does that relate to the natural? How much responsible is an infant for their growth? None, essentially. Jesus said, "Consider the lilies of the field, HOW THEY GROW..." Well, how do they grow? They don't strain and struggle to absorb the water and minerals and sunlight...they just DO IT! 

Now, the same infant, grown to 21, is responsible for far more, but the process of getting there is largely the responsibility of the parents, progressively shifting the responsibility to the child/teen/young adult (sometimes with them kicking and screaming, of course)...and our Father does that also.

But I think more than anything else, we don't REALLY trust His goodness, His desire for our growth (greater than ours most if not all the time), and His willingness to get us where He wants IF WE WILL ONLY LET HIM!

I wrote a musing called "God Tweets," about how God is trying to connect with us far more than we are with Him, posted on my son's blog, www.SeekingTheSon.org. 

God is ever-present...if only we are more willing to admit Him more, and more of the time. I like the image in Song of Songs where the groom (a picture of Jesus) says, "I'm ravished with just one glance from your eyes." We have no idea of the passion of the Godhead (all three of them!) for intimacy with us!!!
