Trust

G-d trusts us so much. It’s not a question of does G-d trust us. It’s 100%. I think that’s why we have trouble. We are just going along and thinking that G-d is watching over us, judging us and so on: but G-d trusts us! We have been given everything, and it is our will to survive and do good. Free choice, yah here it comes!
From an idea that G-d wants us to put into action, to a baby, every step of the way, we are given responsibility. Now, that doesn’t mean we are operating in a vacuum. Maybe there are other people put on this Earth to work on the same thing. But when it comes to types of bosses, G-d is definitely the ‘hand it over and do it your own way’ kind of boss. and a ‘you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, but then you’re going to suffer’ too. If I don’t do what G-d wants then G-d has all this energy related to this one given thing that is meant to go into it. And where does it go then? Into suffering.
Thank you G-d for trusting me with this energy.

First of all, you don’t need to put a “-” in Hashem. It’s already a substitute for G-d so it doesn’t need to be altered.
Secondly, your post just points out what Rav Yisrael Salanter said, based on Pirkei Avos: the world is like an expensive hotel. The concierge will get you whatever you want but at the end of your stay, there’s a bill to pay and it’s your choice how steep that bill is going to be. But you can’t check out without paying it.
