Do you know how when you go to the car repair shop, you feel over your head? You're intimidated, and as a result, you often end up spending more than you should. There's a huge difference in knowledge, and as a result, you don't feel comfortable or fair.
God is the opposite -- there's a huge knowledge gap, but God wants you to understand, and so God sends the Holy Spirit to translate the knowledge of God into something we can understand. I've heard Jesus described in this way, too -- that God translated himself into a language we understood, so that we could know God better. God wants us to know God personally.
The tricky part for us is remembering to slow down enough so that we can hear what the Holy Spirit wants to say to us. Do you create space in your life for God to speak to you in a way that you'll understand?
