Trust is an interesting commodity.
Trust according to Merriam-Webster online is assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something, or one in which confidence is placed.
Where do you place your confidence? In what do you find character beyond reproach? Ability in every situation and at all times? What has strength that can take care of any need and never gives out? What is always true no matter the situation? Is there something which you find hope now and always?
Psalm 25 tells us that the psalmist sees God as the object of his hope, God is the place of his trust. The psalmist lifts his soul to God, because God is the one who has strength for every situation. God is the only one who’s character is beyond reproach. God has ability in every situation to see the task through to completion. God will teach us his ways and help us, guide us through life. He will help us to wait upon him all the days long. If we can live like the psalmist and lift our souls up to God, God will lift us up to him and guide us all of our lives.
