He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber..
Psalm121:3
**
Trust is sometimes required where one may not yet have evidence of the other party having come through. Your faith must take that initial step—making a decision that your feelings are not convinced of, but that you know is right.
Trusting God rarely comes with pleasant feelings, in my opinion. But is it because it doesn’t feel good, or is it the perception of what He is doing that adds to the discomfort? Regardless of what it is, trusting Him is a way to stretch your faith, increase your faith, mature your faith, and an opportunity for you to personally experience His reliability.
Fear chokes trust. A sudden negative experience chokes trust, because we somehow accept that nothing should get past God to strike us like this. But it’s not that it got past Him—it just had the audacity to come toward you, so you lose your trust in Him. Fear decided to see you as the weakest link that it wants to break, so that you lose your nerve—you lose your confidence.
But your faith and trust must wholly be in God, no matter if “the earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea, and its waters roar and foam, and the mountains quake because of them” (Psalm 46:2–3). You must remember that God is within you, and you will not be destroyed—neither will you fall. God will help you.
Be still and know that He is God (Psalm 46:10).
