“The highest trust is putting our faith not in human circumstances or other people but in God and divine goodness. ...When we trust God, we find goodness to be real and forever ongoing because it is God-inspired, God-established, and God-maintained.”
“...when we acknowledge that God is the supreme Mind and that He will lead us only in ways that are right for us, we can trust God to do just that.”
“Trust is a spiritual muscle that needs to be exercised and thereby strengthened. We strengthen it by keeping God’s nature—His all-power, ever-presence, and comforting, healing love—uppermost in our thinking and by allowing God to govern our actions. Like all exercise, sometimes this takes great effort.”
