Every good thing we have or enjoy comes from our Heavenly Father. Our lives and this world are not now perfect, because mankind has turned away from God and rejected Him and His loving ways.
We fell for a lie, and turned against God. Only as we all turn back to God will things turn back to perfection.
God is perfect and we are not yet perfect. (But because of His grace, we will be eventually.) That is why we need to trust Him and follow His instructions, instead of trusting in our own ability and knowledge. "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love" (1 JOHN 4:8 ).
The Father is not trying to get people to obey Him because He is insecure and needs to be worshipped. God is trying to get you to do what is best. God's way is perfect.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" (CORINTHIANS 13:4-7).
