That's a pretty big deal, because God has done so much imeasureable good in our lives and the only thing He ever asks for from us is our trust to be fully placed in Him. Therefore, if you discover that, it's not that you haven't been trusting Him at all, but not fully, you have to reevaluate where you stand in your faith so you can ensure that you get where you need to be--where you thought you were.
And sometimes when you make this discovery, it isn't the easiest thing to just think, "Okay, let's think about this so we can make sure everything is right." Because a lot of the time, this discovery is brought about because of something really big--something that scares you so that you're too busy panicking and thinking something along the lines of, *&#@%^#! What do I do now?!God, please fix it!!
But the important thing to address both trains of thought is to remember that, even if you haven't been putting all of your trust entirely in Him like you thought you were, He is still your God. He is mightier than all others and He holds all the power and wisdom to do and accomplish all things. So, you just need to have faith in that.
And even when you're panic-stricken and not thinking entirely straight, you can still go to Him and say something along the lines of, "God, I know I haven't been fully trusting You, but I want to, and I need You now." That simple request is enough to throw Him into action and fight for you and your heart because He cares even about the little things that trouble you, and of course His heart breaks for your heartbreak over the big things, too.
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Exodus 14:14
"He is wise in heart and mighty in strength..."
Job 9:4
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might."
Ephesians 6:10
"The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness;
He will quiet you by His love;
He will exult over you with loud singing."
Zephaniah 3:17
