"...it occcurs to me first that there is no reason to marvel at the fact that God should bring about certain things the reasons for which I do not understand. Nor is his existence therefore to be doubted because I happen to experience other things of which I fail to grasp why and how he made them"
I think here Descartes is trying to say that he should not try to wonder why God made things the way he did. He is just going to have to accept the way things are now because nobody can understand God. He is also saying that God exist because he does not understand the things that God does. Descartes should know that God knows what he is doing. I never doubt God because I know that he does things for a reason.

I blogged on the same meditations and I think that your right on the money. Decartes battle with the fact the he doubts god. He belives in god's exsistence but yet he quetions god being pefect.
