I sincerely want to trust God in any circumstances.

God desires to be trusted by man first. If anyone is uncertain of whether or not God can be trusted, he actually does not know who God is. God is not someone who overpowers man by His awesome majesty and power to force him to bow before Him. He also does not demand man to offer their devotion and sacrifices first, and promise to give Heaven afterwards. God is the god of a covenant. He first gave His covenant and faithfully kept it, fully demonstrating His faithfulness.

The faith of the Christian church is fundamentally different to common religiousness. Hence to discuss secular religions and our faith on the same table in itself is improper. God respects us as persons and desires us to know Him and thus put our trust in Him of our own free will. So in this way, our faith is indeed noble. God does not want someone to have blind or superstitious faith without knowing who He is. God is telling us, “You’ve witnessed how I fulfilled all of My promises to you. Now be rest assured and entrust your souls to me.”
