God's presence is a present. I think as humans our natural desire is to have all the comforts we want without risk or cost to us. We want the easy, fun, uncomplicated version of everything. But then our character is very shallow and surface-y, because we've never had to work or earn or deny ourselves anything. Sure, it'd be easier if God made all the decisions for us, because then we wouldn't have to engage our brain, and we could move through life without thinking. But, even with that, it doesn't guarantee the things God would pick for us would be comfortable, easy and uncomplicated. We are not one dimensional, nor is our creator. He wants us to think for ourselves, but use His word and His spirit to guide our decisions to be in line with his will for us. And he knows what we will choose, despite our best efforts to please him. So, if we aren't going to choose what's best for us, God will place us in a situation where we will learn, and there is no guarantee of ease, comfort or quickness. But we do know he will always be there with us. And he has our best interest at heart. God's will is not going to show itself to be the simplest decision most of the time, until our will is in alignment with his.
