What if it really is wrong?

The "effort" I referred to was in Spirit. Faith as Blume has said.

So, do you see and/or feel no difference what so ever between then and now ?

There is a huge difference between then and now. Why do you ask?

Isaiah 66:2 - "...but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word."

Have you ever been reading the Bible when suddenly, without warning, your entire body begins to "tremble" in such a violent manner that it seemed as if every joint would come apart, and you became so frightened that you threw the Bible down and fled from its presence?

Well, while not intending to come across as boastful, this happened to me, and it was only after I read this passage (at a later point when I had mustered the courage to pick it up and begin reading again) did I come to recognize that God had caused this... sort of like He had given me notice that I had gotten His attention, and that He was pleased with my, what shall I call it..... "lifestyle," or manner of living.

Since that memorable moment (24+ years ago), I've never, ever doubted that the Bible contained the sacred written Oracles of God (and with His help, I know that I never will)!
