Putting your trust in the world is a recipe for disaster. The only way to live well is to put every aspect of your life into God's hands. Entrusting everything to Him gives peace unlike any material possession or worldly relationship can provide.

Chapter One
Scriptural Insinuations for Trusting in the LORD.
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes" (Psalm 118:8). "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God" (Psalm 20:7).
"Trust in Him at all times, o people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge" (Psalm 62:8).
"Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord" (Psalm 4:5).
"But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, `You are my God'" (Psalm 31:14).
"Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture" (Psalm 37:3).
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" (Psalm 37:5).
"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord is the Rock eternal" (Isaiah 26:4).
"Blessed are those who put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:12).
Chapter Two
What is Trust in the LORD? Trusting the LORD is when you put all your optimism in only GOD in every situation.
Beloved in Christ in everyday life, you can surrender everything to God and revere HIM. Then you can watch your impossibilities become possible. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6).
You should put your trust in God always, not in princes and man. Trusting in the LORD by seeking His assistance and following Him brings profound connotation or denotation to life. "GOD is not a man that He should lie" (Numbers 23:19). Whatever He says shall come to pass. Do not deceive yourself. You just have to believe in order to receive.
I do encourage everyone as a KING and Deacon's daughter that was raised as a Christian to the core, a Minister and an Evangelist that God should only be the source of your hope in all facets of lives. Therefore, trust in HIM, and you will not be abashed or ashamed in the name of JESUS Christ of Nazareth.
GOD is everything you want, if only you put your trust in Him. When you are bitter, God will make you better. When you are stressed or depressed, you will be blessed, if you will just put your self-reliance in Him alone. Whatever situation you find yourself in, God is always accessible.
Friends, families, husbands, wives, and children are not always available when you need them most, but if you can rely on God, He will always be accessible. Put all your cares on Him.
Chapter Three
Why Do We Trust in the LORD?
It is vital to trust in the LORD and put all your positivity in Him because He is the Almighty (creator of heaven and earth). HE is the "Alpha and Omega" (Revelation 1:8).
GOD is everything to us. HE is the Jehovah El-Eloyn, our most high GOD.
HE is the Jehovah Mesediku, our sanctifier. He is our Jehovah Tsur, GOD, our strength; Jehovah Nissi, our victory (Exodus 17:15); Jehovah Raffa, our healer (Exodus 15:2); Jehovah Shalom, our peace (Judges 6:24); Jehovah Elshaddai, our all-sufficient; Jehovah Jireh, our provider (Genesis 22:14); Jehovah Rahi, our Great Shepherd, and I shall not want (Psalm 23:1); my strength, Jehovah Tsidkenu (Jeremiah 23:6), and the GOD who sees me, Jehovah El Roi (Genesis 16:13).
GOD is everything in our lives. We must continually trust in Him. Take HIM for His words, and if we faint not, at the allotted or allocated time, He will take His prominence or eminence in
Chapter Four
How Do We Trust in the LORD?
You should trust in the LORD by praying persistently and becoming a prayer fanatic. Pray without ceasing. Prayer is our letter and e-mail to God, and by praying relentlessly, we move nearer to God (through our personal relationship). As referenced in the word of God, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16).
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Additionally, you should trust in the LORD through your worship and fellowship with God and others. It is very obligatory because "He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). "Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near (Isaiah 55:6).
