I often wonder if we (I) really trust God - if we (I) really believe He's gonna come through for us.

Or if we (I) in truth believe more in "God helps those who help themselves."

Yes, I know all the laziness arguments about sitting back & waiting for God to bring something or someone in on a silver platter.

But many times, God really simply wants us to believe & trust Him, and then get out of the way & let Him make things happen - iow, all He wants sometimes is for us to watch Him work.

Think about it, & tell me what you think - please, no glib spiritual cliches or slogans - tell me your thinking from specific things you've experienced.
