According to Webster's Dictionary - assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something; one in which confidence is placed; dependence on something future or contingent: hope.
Repeatedly God's people are reminded to trust in the Lord with all their heart. Therefore the student of God's nature believes that it is important to trust on what God says and does. Even though people cannot predict the future, assumptions about what will happen can be deduced from past events.
However God does not want His people to be caught unaware of what is to come, so he had His Story written in the 66 books of the Bible. From the very beginning God explained His plan to His children, only asking that they place their hope and assurance in the promises of future events. From past experience people can see that God always "has their backs". Nothing that happens is unknown to Him and cannot be used for the ultimate good of His people - Jew, Christian, lover of God, seeker of the true Creator of the Universe.
During these dark times, Christians must turn from sin, seek God's forgiveness, repent of sin, and obey His guidance.
Ask God to
Rain - bring to flower, to produce fruit of the spirit, on the garden of the soul
Rein - control the sinful inclinations of wayward thoughts, curb the desire for human control
Reign - rule, lead, the Child of God into a true trusting relationship with the Most High Triune God.
