Is God carrying you or are you still faking?

Imagine sitting in a chair and saying, "This chair is amazing! There is no one better or more stable.” But in reality you think this chair is too rickety to support your weight for more than two minutes. This will result in you never putting your weight fully on the chair, just pretending to sit. How cozy would that be? As much as you want, you can proclaim with faith: “I am so glad to have this chair in my life. Life would be so exhausting without this chair. I could never really rest.” God is like that chair.

Have you ever thought about whether you actually trust God? More often you may ask yourself whether you believe in God - or whether you believe enough. But when it comes to faith, it must also be about trust in God. Because you don't believe anyone you don't trust. And you don't trust anyone you don't believe a word of it. I have found throughout my life that I have the ability to theoretically trust God: theoretically, I believe that God is with me. When asked if he wants to help me, I answer: "Yes, theoretically yes...". Did Jesus pay for my sins and absolve me of all charges? "Theoretically, yes." The only question then is why, practically speaking, I still feel constantly accused and judged... The problem, of course, is that theoretical trust in God practically means: "I don't trust you!"
