It flows, don't fight it.

So, I've been going to a bible study on tuesday nights with a pretty good group of people. One thing I've noticed is that Christians have a tendency to try too hard. It's as though there is this whole culture of having to do or say things a certain way, and if you don't live up to it, you're guilty.
For instance, we were talking last night about whether or not you still feel in bondage to things even after you've accepted Christ. (And I actually think that's a wrong term. "accepting Christ" I mean. I'll explain more about that later) Anyway, one person was saying how he feels like there's always going to be something that you haven't accepted grace for and are in bondage to.
What if you just stop trying?
You are no longer you. That is the main and simplest thing you must grasp. You are an extension of Christ. The Spirit is the thing that moves you.
When you feel distant from God, know that you are not. It's only in your own mind, you've simply forgotten to listen. He is within you.
When you do something wrong, know that that's all it is. It's not a fall from grace. There is nothing that changes the fact that God is there within you still.
The best example I can think of comes from the Matrix when Morpheus says "Stop trying to hit me and just hit me!" When Neo learns that the rules of the world don't bind him.
You want to be close to God, stop trying and know that it is so.  God is the thing that binds everything together.... the order in the universe. From the birds in the air- to the flowers peeping out of the ground. The interactions between people- our paths are ordered, people are brought into our lives for a reason. See God in it.
It's as simple as breathing. God is your breath. The fact that your lungs work, that the blood is flowing, that the synopsis in your brain are firing. All this is God, because it is not something you control. It just IS. You don't have to make yourself breath, you just do.
You don't need to accept God's grace. It just is. It flows.
Stop thinking about being a Christian. Stop thinking about the way you act. Really stop thinking about SIN.
Be. Let the Spirit flow through you.
