There's some great stuff in this thread.
I've always felt that God was with me and protecting me, too -- well, oftentimes I'd forget. And sometimes I get really po'd at God. Good thing he/she is more loving and understanding and forgiving than I can even grasp the concept of.
One really annoying thing I've found about God is that he/she doesn't seem to want to work on my timetable or in the way I feel is best. But, grudgingly, I have to admit that he/she usually does know best.
Not any really good answer in this post, but well...
