If faith can also be described as trust, then unbelief must be related to mistrust. It is scary to think that our prayers are not answered because we mistrust God.
How can that make sense? Jesus said that if we ask anything in his name, he will do it for us. But I can only ask in his name if I ask according to his will. He will reveal his will to me if I am committed to do his will, whatever it may be.
So if I fully trust him, he can reveal to me what he wants done. I can then pray for that thing and it will certainly happen.
We spend our lives as Christians learning to fully trust our heavenly Father. Why are we so scared to trust him? The most obvious answer is that we fear he might ask us to do or experience something we absolutely dread.
