How To Respond After Failure - Turn To And Trust God

Trust is hard to come by nowadays. We put our trust in things like money, education, in some leaders,
however, ultimately, the only person we can trust is God. This doesn't mean we
should go through life feeling paranoid and suspicious. It means we hold a realistic
view of human beings, things and institutions, not being to shocked when they fail us.
We can feel secure regardless, knowing that God is faithful even when no one and
nothing else is.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
Psalms 37:3-5 (NKJV)

is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? "Therefore
do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
