Trust Issues

Okay...so I can mouth the words "I trust you," or tell inquiring and concerned souls that I'm learning to trust God with some things. But I have this deep sense that I'm not fooling anyone here. When you're seriously doubting God's care and provision in your life...is it simply a matter of saying "Okay, God...really...I trust you!!" Maybe exlamation points will make it true.

The only thing making sense to me right now are Rob Bell's words recently on the temptation of Jesus. He talks about how the enemy was trying desperately to undermine Jesus' identity as the Son of God. And that's what mister deception is trying to do to me as well...convince me that I'm not really who I think I am or thought I was.
