BGB, you said a mouthful of truth here:
"Not everyone can do it like me or are quite as faithful, so the temptation is to take it back"
And that is the problem with humanity at heart and soul. We want to take back the control we give to Jesus. Jesus WILL do it differently that we do, and he is MORE faithful!
So as a result, he picks people that are NOT like us and may or may not be as faithful (probably more). (Don't forget, he used a donkey one time)
What we call faithful is those who do things like us. What God calls faithful is those who do things God's way or by his direction. So we say they are unfaithful because they are not doing it our way!
God is not concerned with how perfect we do things (Yes, I'm working on that too), but how willing we are to listen to God and let God handle things.
Now of course, I know you realize this and I'm preachin' to the preacher here! So as a brother in Christ (who is not perfect and not always faithful either), I feel your pain and weakness!
Blessings to you and may God do it His way (as much as that frustrates us) 
Boyd
