Bible Verses About Trusting God

King James Version · 14 passages

To trust God is to lean the full weight of your life on Him, especially when you cannot see the way ahead. Scripture never asks for blind trust; it points to the Lord's character, His past faithfulness, and His sure word. The one who trusts is kept in perfect peace. These passages teach the heart to rest in God rather than in itself.
