How does God make a believer's heart trust in Him?

Answered in 1 source

God enables a sinner's heart to trust in Him through His power, leading to belief in Christ.

The act of trusting in God is not something a sinner can manufacture; it is a work of divine grace. Psalm 40:4 states, 'Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust.' Believers can't make themselves trust; rather, God bestows faith upon them, awakening their spiritually dead hearts to believe in Christ. This transformation is a testament to the sovereign grace of God, who, in His mercy, enables sinners to respond to the gospel and thus trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
