Many times our problem is that we put the horse before the cart. We are more concerned with exercising faith than we are sorrowful over our sin. God's word says in:
Ps. 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Instead of worrying about whether God will save us or not, we need to see if we are truly repentant of our evil ways. Not just remorseful but repentant.
I agree with everything that was said concerning election, but on the same vein, God will save those who have a contrite heart. He turned from His wrath He intended on Ninevah, He allowed the Israelites to change the month of the passover when they returned to the temple and He is seen in many instances turning from what He intended because of the contrition of the people. Are we sorrowful over our sin and of a contrite heart? or do we just want to be saved in order to keep us out of the lake of fire like an insurance policy? Contrition should be first, if that is what is moving you to question God's election, then you have truly entered through the wicket gate.
Hisalone Matt. 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. KJV
