It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God - but to create him.
Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven.

Lord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough.
The presence of the Holy Spirit isthe keystone of all our hopes.
I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.
If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.
We must be faithful to the present moment or we will frustrate the plan of God for our lives.
Skeptic that I was as an adolescent, I had recently come to believe in a Supreme Being after thumbing through a Victoria's Secret catalogue.

God is within you. You yourself are your creator. If you find that place in yourself from which you brought this thing about, you will be able to live with it and affirm it, perhaps even enjoy it, as your life.
Leaving out the gamblers, the burglars, and the plumbers, perhaps we do put our trust in God after a fashion. But, after all, it is an overstatement. If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it, but the rest would put their trust in The Health Board.
