IMO Exploring the nature and implications of your faith is the exact opposite of "questioning God." As Christians, our mandate is to follow Christ's example. Christ was constantly discussing and questioning conventional interpretation of God.

Unquestioning obedience to splotches of ink or people on podiums is one of the more prevalent forms of idolatry.

Does your God give you inner peace and take away all your fear?

Have you received the Holy Spirit?

If so keep doing what you’re doing.

Thanks, you too. I will, yet I believe I have much room for improvement.

And the only way to do that IMO is wrestle with our faith, or 'wrestle with God,' which caused Jacob to be called Israel. Was that questioning God?

That said, I agree it's important not to overthink or overcomplicate something which essentially transcends the intellect. I think we must come to terms with God on every level, however, including the intellect.
