"Deliberate" -2

"Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them." (Psalms 99:6)
If you don't step out in faith, then you can never know what it is to trust in God for delivery and victory in your problem. It's really not about the money, because God has no need for it, nor does He want us to make it the focus of our blessings; it's about trusting God and believing that He means what He says. He says that He will, and we already know that He can, so what makes us doubt it will happen? I can not speak for you, but I can speak for myself; my issue might be the same as that of the children of Israel, who realized that they had sinned asking for a king, but did not realize that God was willing to forgive them. I don't know about you, but if the accuser is not trying to make me stumble over my sins, I do a pretty good job of it on my own. Besides all of that, is not God in the problem? If you are in the storm of your life, don't you know that God is in the storm with you? That should tell you something about what is going on around you, that it's all under control! Just because you can't control it, don't think that God isn't; there are way too many things in life that we have absolutely no control over, so it's best to just let go and let God. Let God do what? What ever it is that He wants to do! First and foremost, we need to realize how much that God loves us; and then, we must trust that He cares! Not just in the future or through the past, but in this very moment, God cares what we are going through and how it will effect our lives and the life of those around us. There is nothing we can do that God cannot fix; there is no sin that we can sin that God is not willing to forgive. We might have a problem with forgiveness, but God does not; He is more than willing to forgive those who truly ask Him for forgiveness. But, in order to truly ask to forgive you for your sin, you first need to own it, knowing full well that it was God that you sinned against, deliberately...
"Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:4-7) KJV
