In order to trust God we must know Him in an intimate, personal way. David said in Psalm 9:10, “Those who know Your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You.” To know God’s name is to know Him in an intimate, personal way. It is more than just knowing the facts about God. It is coming into a deeper personal relationship with Him as a result of seeking Him in the midst of our personal pain and discovering Him to be trustworthy. It is only as we know God in this personal way that we come to trust Him…
Pray that the Holy Spirit of God will enable you to get beyond the facts about God so that you will come to know Him better, and so be able to trust Him more completely.
-- Jerry Bridges in “Trusting God”
