If you have been in church for any period of time or been around Christians, it is likely you will be familiar with this verse: 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5

This is one of the catchphrase verses that all Sunday school kids memorize. It’s a verse I catch myself quoting but not really thinking about or really even applying. I mean, stop and think about it…Trust in the Lord. Easier memorized than done, right? How can we know that we trust God? How can we be sure that, regardless of what life flings at us, our trust in God will remain steadfast? What even is trust!?!? How can we trust in God?
