That is why, when I braai (barbeque) there is enough to feed our neighbourhood... because else I eat all the meat as it comes of from the fire and my wife and kid starve to death

Nah ... that's not what you're going to get on this thread Owen. This thread is for listening first ... and is an offer to help lighten one another's burdens. Your pain is real. But it is not unique to yourself. Every one of us has struggled with your very real questions ... and doubt at some point in our lives. Consider the following. What if God were to give us a simple and easy to understand answer to every one of our questions while on this earthly sojourn ? In your estimation, would this serve to strengthen our faith ... or would it risk watering it down ... maybe making us complacent ? Is a young child expected to understand and appreciate a parents "no" on a given matter when the parent knows that a certain no is sometimes for the betterment of the child ? God's plan of salvation for us is thru faith in Jesus Christ ... because He knows that we can't earn it of ourselves. His desire is for us to trust Him ... as a child learns to lean and trust in a parent. And how many times has a child or young adult thought that they knew better than their parent ... only to realize later on that the parent was right ? That's where we are in relation to Christ. Growing faith is a process. And the magnificence of that faith is what awaits us when this short life is over. Long for the big picture ... but live in the present, learning what it means to walk in faith living life one day at a time. Tomorrow has enough worries of it's own. Jesus promised you and I that He would never leave us nor forsake us. He wants you to believe it in spite of what you might feel presently. And when you do my young friend, He counts that as righteousness to your account. How awesome is that ?
