I feel that too but why do you need this concept of God to complete the picture? Why not just leave it at a question mark? It's more honest to your experience because you are a being with a limited capacity for knowledge. The soul, afterlife, karma, the mysterious forces underlying everything around us, they all seem a part of this world to me. Until we get to God, and I really don't know what to do with God, shall I use him as a synonym for the universe? Shall I use him to tie up the loose ends of my knowledge?

Bringing God into the picture won't help you unless you choose to stop asking question. If you don't, you will be stuck with the same questions and many more.
If people can say "God just is and always will be" why do people have trouble saying the same for the world around us?
