This is my post:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Pr. 3:5-6, NIV)
“Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.” (Ps. 86:2-3, NIV)
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” (Ps. 91:2, NIV)
“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” (Is. 12:2, NIV)
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Rom. 15:13, NIV)
“This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” (Titus 3:8, NIV)
“In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Ps. 56:4, NIV)
In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” (Is. 25:9, NIV)
However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (Rom. 4:5, NIV)
Most importantly, trusting God is our salvation. Salvation is by God’s grace through our faith in Jesus (Eph. 2:8-9). Trusting in God, according to the Bible, isn’t a vague experience of dependence but a concrete commitment of faith and allegiance: We place our faith in Jesus by believing what he says, trusting in him to save us, and placing our allegiance in him as king.
