There are laws that govern our happiness and when we break them, when we disobey, then God seems like he distances himself from us, but it is actually we who by our disobedience, distance ourselves from God. If you have been told that all that is necessary to build a relationship, is to believe, you have been told wrong. You build your relationship with God the same as you create any other thing. Upon laws and principles.
There is no such place as happily ever after for any of us. Life is supposed to be filled with challenges that test us. Life is like a three act play, but we just see the second act, and don't know where we came from or why we are here. But the second act was a continuation of our first act, and the third act will continue after this one. So do a little better today than yesterday Clint - - it's all you have to create with. The third act is the only happily ever after some of us will ever see, even though with a relationship with God, we are given peace in this life to help us bear patiently our trials and troubles, and pain. Sorry if this wasn't what you wanted to hear. You will feel better soon.
