How do we know that God gives us the ability to trust Him?

The ability to trust in God is a grace given by the Holy Spirit and is founded upon His unwavering faithfulness. As we meditate on Scripture and reflect on God's promises, such as found in Romans 8 and Ephesians 1, we gain confidence in His character and His plans for us. The assurance of His love and sovereignty over all circumstances enables us to place our trust in Him. The more we experience His faithfulness in our lives, the more natural it becomes to rely on His promises, thus deepening our faith and trust.
