Frequently asked questions
What is the best Bible verse about trusting God?
Proverbs 3:5–6 is the best known: “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.” Psalm 56:3 and Isaiah 26:3 are also favorites.
What does the Bible say about trusting God’s plan?
It teaches that God works all things together for good for those who love him (Romans 8:28), that he directs the paths of those who trust him (Proverbs 3:6), and that those who trust him are like a tree that does not wither in drought (Jeremiah 17:7–8).
How do I trust God when I am afraid?
David prayed, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee” (Psalm 56:3). Trust often begins by telling God honestly what you fear and handing it to him, “casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
Why should we trust God?
Scripture points to his character: “every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him” (Proverbs 30:5). He has never forsaken those who seek him (Psalm 9:10) and promises never to leave us (Hebrews 13:5).
