...The Torah is called Torah Or - “The Torah is Light", because the essential nature of the Torah is to illuminate man's path in life. And when the path is illuminated in this way, one can see clearly which actions and conduct are good, and which have to be avoided.
Of course, the Torah is vast and cannot be easily mastered by all. For this reason, there is a summary of the Torah in the Shulchan Aruch which is a concise code of daily Jewish conduct. But even the Shulchan Aruch is not easily accessible to everyone, and that is why there are Rabbis to be consulted, since it is their purpose and function to teach and guide the individual Jew on how to live his daily life in accordance with the Torah.
All this gives everyone the opportunity to develop a proper and meaningful way of life, and above all, to have complete trust in Hashem whose benevolent providence extends to each and everyone individually. Above all, it is necessary to cultivate sincere and wholehearted confidence [bitochon] in G-d, as it is written, "You shall be wholehearted with Hashem your G-d," [Devarim 18,13] and this will eliminate all sorts of worries, anxieties and confusions. It develops a sense of security in that there is a Lord and Master Who takes care not only of the world as a whole, but also of each individual, with loving care.
Even if, as you write, as a person sometimes fails to live up to expectations, there is always the knowledge that nothing stands in the way of teshuvah.
It is surely unnecessary to elaborate to you on the above, but only to emphasize that we are all commanded to serve G-d with joy...
