Deep trust grows from relying on God in the not-so-pleasant times. We want to rely on God in those times to rescue us from the unpleasantness. Sometimes that may happen, sometimes it may not.

But to rely on God when you can’t see how to dig yourself out of a hole, or you don’t know when suffering will end, or you’re not sure that you will survive an illness with your life, is to experience a presence and power that is greater than rescue. It is a trust in the unseen God, and assurance that God’s power is made perfect through our weaknesses.
