Actually we all have this up close and personal relationship with our Lord when want it....took me a little while to understand just how close He wants our relationship..... as opposed to how I thought it should be. ....I like His way very much better. There is nothing in life that can compare to being ‘comfortable’ with God.

Amen. When I was LDS, I was told we needed to be all formal (KJV english in prayers, dress code, hymns) in order to be ‘respectful’.
Now there is nothing wrong with those things by themselves, but what it created (and what the stress) in Mormonism is this ‘formality of respect’ which actually can (and does) put up a wall between you and God.
Of course I respect God, but I love that I am also ‘comfortable’ with Him. That I can sing, dance, worship, talk to Him as my best friend, and rejoice that He chose me as one of His own.
