God? Faith?

I believe, have faith in, some sort of spiritual order or energetic force, but its form is not that of "a god" as described by the organized religions I've encountered, although they may start to proximate it. Not sure where that lands.

I dont feel this spiritual force as a "father" or "shepherd" or "savior"
maybe closer is "life (including death)" or "compassion".
It doesnt fit well into group worship. It doesnt lend itself to group governance. its not always easy or conforting. Its challenging and rather than delineating and choosing, its base is in a connectedness that is not comprehendable.
