What does the Bible say about trusting God?

Trust is the thread that runs through the whole Bible — from Abraham leaving home for an unseen land to Jesus saying 'into your hands I commit my spirit.' Scripture treats trust as the alternative to anxious self-reliance: leaning on God's character when circumstances do not yet make sense.
