Faith and Confidence

Psalms 108-110

David sings "My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises with all my heart!" After all that David has been through his faith is one filled with confidence. It's not a shaky faith that wavers with the circumstances that he finds himself in, but rather a confident faith that holds fast no matter the circumstance. He is ready to wait for the Lord to work in his time... although he often suggests to the Lord what his next action should be, especially when it comes to smiting his enemies. Why was it that the early church fathers had such a confident faith? What would it take for us to have that same kind of faith?
