1 Thessalonians 5: 25 "God will make these things happen, for He who called you is faithful ." How many times have I, while looking at my uncertain future, doubted God's faithfulness?

A friend of mine said to me last week (something like this - I wish I could remember the exact words), "We look back and see how big and faithful God is, but look forward and wonder if He is there at all."
