For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.This kinda describes me to a 'T.' I have constant doubts about whether God will act in my life. I believe He can, without question, but I don't expect that He actually will.
I've long held that God doesn't directly, one might say miraculously, intervene in the world nearly as much as many tend to believe. I don't think that every good thing that happens was divinely pushed by Him to occur, any more than I think every bad thing that happens is spiritual warfare directly produced by Satan's forces. Over time, I think that lack-of-expectation has probably turned toward cynicism about His caring about me, and that probably helps explain a lot of the problems I have.
