1. No, he was merely telling them that they do not believe in Him anor trust in Him and what he says and does.
2. When things in our life go wrong, when we don't FEEL saved, when we focus on ourselves or wrong things instead of focusing on Jesus.

1. I particularly like PSalm 23 because it covers so many different aspects of life that God takes care of...He gives us peace, takes care of our needs, guides me, gives me strength in times of death, takes away my fears, gives me comfort, protects me fro mmy enemies, gives me goodness and love and life, and I can remain with the Lord forever! What more do I need!!!!
1. This one got me a little confused....
The phrasing is a little complicated
2. One of the main reasons that people doubt of their salvation is that they ask for something and don't get it. THey think God is not listening to him.

1)That God is all ways there even when you say he isn't for us and he protects
Answer to 1.
No its not a denial of his deity, he was referring to his miracles that God did through him, i think.
Answer to 2.
Sometimes people just forget about the day they got saved and wonder if it actually happened and are just relying on what their parents said or sumthin.
Answer to 3.
It shows us that Jesus went through really tough times too as a human like u and me. It shows us that since hes been there done that, he can get us through r problems.
