Believe, not Believe In

"We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved." 
Hebrews 10:39 

I read a devotion this morning that used Hebrews 10:39 to reference a number of situations in which we feel that we lack confidence. I recognize this in myself, as I feel I'm usually not qualified, or am too fearful, or I just lack faith. 
Yes, I know what the Scriptures say, but do I really believe that "All things work together for good for those who love me and are called according to my purpose." or "All things are possible to he who believes."  (Romans 8:28, Mark 9:23)
The question is, do I believe in God or do I believe God? I tend to fall into the first category. I want, and need, to be in the second. 
Help me Father, to believe YOU!
