Abraham knew without a doubt that what God said He would do would happen. At this point in scripture Abraham was 100 years old, but God told Him He would be the father of many nations...and that's exactly what happened. God has made many promises in His word, but how much do we really believe He will do what He says? When He promises that He will supply all your needs (Phil 4:19), do you really believe that, or do you get stressed out and frustrated when what you are trying to do doesn't work? When He promises He will give you what you need when you need it (Heb 4:16), do you wait on God, or do you try to figure things out on our own, and end up getting angry, anxious, frustrated, etc. When I finally started letting God be God in my life and started trusting Him instead of trusting in myself, peace replaced frustration, a settled mind replaced anxiety. There are times when I do get frustrated at what I am doing, and that is a "red flag" for me that I have crossed over from trusting God to trusting in Kent and that I need to believe God will do what He says He will do. When you are faced with a circumstance that you don't know what to do, instead of trying to figure it out on your own, talk to God, trust Him and do what He tells you to do. If that means wait, then you wait. If it means you do something, then you do something, if it means you say something, then you say something, but in everything, be fully convinced that what God says will happen.
