God's commands are designed to guide you to life's very best. You will not obey Him, if you do not believe Him and trust Him. You cannot believe Him if you do not love Him. You cannot love Him unless you know Him.
- Henry Blackaby
68
Assurance grows by repeated conflict, by our repeated experimental proof of the Lord's power and goodness to save; when we have been brought very low and helped, sorely wounded and healed, cast down and raised again, have given up all hope, and been suddenly snatched from danger, and placed in safety; and when these things have been repeated to us and in us a thousand times over, we begin to learn to trust simply to the word and power of God, beyond and against appearances: and this trust, when habitual and strong, bears the name of assurance; for even assurance has degrees.
- John Newton
67
Because God is faithful, He can be trusted fully to completely carry out His commitments to us.
- Jimmy Swaggart
66
He calls us to trust him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
- Francis Chan
65
One often sees a call only in retrospect. This too is God's design. God often reinforces our faith after we trust him, not before.
- Ravi Zacharias
64
God does not guide those who want to run their own life. He only guides those who admit their need of His direction and rely on His wisdom.
- Winkie Pratney
63
As we trust God to give us wisdom for today's decisions, He will lead us a step at a time into what He wants us to be doing in the future.
- Theodore Epp
62
He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God's providence to lead him alright.
- Blaise Pascal
61
Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence.
- Augustine
60
For some reason, we think of doubt and worry as "small" sins. But when a Christian displays unbelief...or an inability to cope with life, he is saying to the world, "My God cannot be trusted," and that kind of disrespect makes one guilty of a fundamental error, the heinous sin of dishonoring God. That is no small sin.
- John MacArthur
59
If our love were but more simple, we should take Him at his word, and our lives would be all sunshine in the sweetness of the Lord.
- Frederick W. Faber
57
I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain.
- John Henry Newman
56
If God was faithful to you yesterday, you have reason to trust him for tomorrow.
- Woodrow Kroll
55
It is not the cares of today, but the cares of tomorrow, that weigh a man down. For the needs of today we have corresponding strength given. For the morrow we are told to trust. It is not ours yet. It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear.
- George Macdonald
54
Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.
- A. W. Pink
52
Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
- Rick Warren
51
We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.
- Thomas Brooks
50
The cure for impatience with the fulfillment of God's timetable is to believe His promises, obey His will, and leave the results to Him. So often when God's timetable stretches into years we become discouraged and...want to give up or try to work something out on [our] own.
- Jerry Bridges
48
I am so weak that I can hardly write, I cannot read my Bible, I cannot even pray, I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child, and trust.
- Hudson Taylor
47
What is needed for happy effectual service is simply to put your work into the Lord's hand, and leave it there. Do not take it to Him in prayer, saying, "Lord, guide me, Lord, give me wisdom, Lord, arrange for me," and then arise from your knees, and take the burden all back, and try to guide and arrange for yourself. Leave it with the Lord, and remember that what you trust to Him you must not worry over nor feel anxious about. Trust and worry cannot go together.
- Hannah Whitall Smith
46
Trust to God to weave your thread into the great web, though the pattern shows it not yet.
- George Macdonald
45
I find myself frequently depressed - perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.
- Charles Spurgeon
44
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

43
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
- John Stott
42
Worry is the antithesis of trust. You simply cannot do both. They are mutually exclusive.
- Elisabeth Elliot
41
There is no greater joy in the Christian life than to trust Him and need no explanation.
- Jack Hyles
40
The love I bear Christ is but a faint and feeble spark, but it is an emanation from himself: He kindled it and he keeps it alive; and because it is his work, I trust many waters shall not quench it.
- John Newton
39
In these times, God's people must trust him for rest of body and soul.
- David Wilkerson
38
It is a glorious thing to know that your Father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter. It is our glory to trust Him, no matter what.
- Joni Eareckson Tada
37
Real satisfaction comes not in understanding God's motives, but in understanding His character, in trusting in His promises, and in leaning on Him and resting in Him as the Sovereign who knows what He is doing and does all things well.
- Joni Eareckson Tada
36
Trust perfected is prayer perfected. Trust looks to receive the thing asked for and gets it. Trust is not a belief that God can bless or that He will bless, but that He does bless, here and now. Trust always operates in the present tense. Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses. Trust receives what prayer acquires. So, what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.
- E.M. Bounds
35
I came all this way for a reason. Today is the day of salvation. Trust Jesus to save you. Then be sincere as God knows a pretender.
- Kirk Cameron
34
The prevailing idea seems to be, that I come to God and ask Him for something that I want, and that I expect Him to give me that which I have asked. But this is a most dishonoring and degrading conception. The popular belief reduces God to a servant, our servant: doing our bidding, performing our pleasure, granting our desires. No, prayer is a coming to God, telling Him my need, committing my way unto the Lord, and leaving Him to deal with it as seemeth Him best.
- A. W. Pink
33
God has the right to be trusted; to be believed that He means what He says; and that His love is dependable.
- A.J. Gossip
32
Never was there a man of deep piety, who has not been brought into extremities - who has not been put into fire - who has not been taught to say, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him."
- Richard Cecil
31
Yet, in the maddening maze of things, And tossed by storm and flood, To one fixed trust my spirit clings; I know that God is good!
- John Greenleaf Whittier
30
God has the right to be trusted; to be believed that He means what He says; and that His love is dependable.
- A. J. Gossip
29
He who would have God's help in any business, must quit confidence in man's help; and the seeing of the vanity of man's help must make the believer to trust the more unto, and expect the more confidently God's help.
- David Dickson
28
When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.
- E.M. Bounds
27
The woman who trusts God as her strength desires to be both theologically sound and practically adept.
- Patricia Ennis
26
Talk what we will of faith, if we do not trust and rely upon Him, we do not believe in Him.
- Assorted Authors
25
Either we are adrift in chaos or we are individuals, created, loved, upheld and placed purposefully, exactly where we are. Can you believe that? Can you trust God for that?
- Elisabeth Elliot
24
All thought, cleverness, knowledge, talent and gift-which the world superstitiously worships-must be set aside in order to enable one to trust the Lord wholly. The Lord's people should persistently acknowledge their own unworthiness and incompetency.
- Watchman Nee
