An analogy about trusting God:
A man is swimming at the beach, he starts to struggle and drown. A surfer nearby comes over and says "quick, get on my surfboard, I'll take you in to shore". The man replies "No, God will save me", so the surfer leaves. Then someone on a jet ski comes past and says "quick, climb on my jet ski, I'll take you to shore", the man replies "No, God will save me", so the jet skier leaves. Then a surf rescue boat comes up to the man and they tell him "quick, get in our boat, we'll get you to the shore". Again the man replies "No, God will save me". Finally, a rescue helicopter flies out, throws a rope down, and the pilot shouts "quick, grab the rope, we'll fly you to the shore". Once more, the man replies "No, God will save me", so the helicopter leaves, and a little later the man drowns. He gets up to heaven and he says to God, "God, why didn't you save me from drowning?".
God replies, "I sent a surfer, a jet skier, a rescue boat, and a helicopter – what more did you want?" God doesn't call people to passivity.
