Our unconscious level

Bill Hybels wrote:

“We reach out to God... but then we often fall back and try to face our difficulties in our own power – because at some basic and perhaps unconscious level we doubt if God really can make a difference in the problems we are facing – we don’t ask God for help because somewhere, well beneath our surface layer of faith and trust, we don’t believe God has the power to do anything about them.”

Now that’s convicting. I began praying about some things that are totally out of my realm of control and expertise... so that I could “practice” believing God had the power to answer (oh, yeah - that's just about everything...) God is answering. I need to remember so I have more faith for the next "practice session."

How's your unconscious level - believing or doubting?
