When I (we or you) said that I trust in God (or lift/give it up to God/the Lord), do I EXPECT God to solve the problem or am I really content with merely God's being with me?
Can I say that I really trust in God but not satisfied if my problem cannot be solved?

Have you ever think about that what is really in our mind when we say that "I trust in God"? I found that too often that I expect God to make things go/turn in the way I WANT them to go when I said that I trust in God but forgot that "Be still" and simply be content to BE WITH GOD and BE IN HIS PRESENCE is the most important thing of trusting in God no matter how things go, either in the way I like it or not.
I have heard people giving their testimony saying that God has done this and that for them and on and on and on and on... all about the good things happened in their lives. Too often that I found myself were not really interesting when I heard these kind of testimony.
Don't take me wrong. I am not saying these GOOD things are not from God. That's not my point. I know that nothing is too difficult for my God to take care of. I know I can do all things through Jesus Christ. My point is, I found it's much more touching when I hear people are still in the extremely hard time and see NO WAY out but still saying that they trust in God at moment like that. Testimony like that often makes me to repent how I take God in my life.
