The idea that energy is

The idea that energy is transformed and not transferred was quite surprising to me.  It was interesting how energy is not created, it is just a transformation from one state of energy to another.  In essence, we are transforming energy from an improbable state to a probable state.  It is somewhat of a hard concept to fully grasp because I understand that energy transforms from one state to another but wouldn't you think that after some time when that energy is not being used that it would have to be created again? Maybe I understood the concept wrong but it seems confusing to me.
