Trust is not a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at times seeks to overwhelm us.
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Psalm 56:3-4, ESV

Over the years, Providence has published numerous blogs that encourage greater trust in God. HERE is one that outlines the certainty of man's dependence, rooted in God's purposeful design. THIS ONE helps strengthen our confidence in who God is. Additionally, HERE is a post that calls us to take up and read a very insightful and Scripture-saturated book. You will find many other entries by typing "trust" in the search box.
My goal is to keep highlighting the importance of trusting God through a playlist. Below, you will find links to twenty carefully selected songs that encourage us to see God's trustworthiness and strengthen our commitment to trust in nothing else. The songs range from this year (2025) back to the 17th century (or the 10th century if you consider "Be Thou My Vision" in its original poetic form). Be encouraged; be strengthened!
