[Trust] is the foundation on which [God’s teachers’] ability to fulfill their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated. The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world made up. It is governed by a Power That is in them but not of them. It is this Power That keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world. (A Course in Miracles, M-4.I.1)
When we believe in the ego thought system of separation, fear and guilt, we are placing our trust in a false idea. Trusting in something which has no foundation in truth brings with it doubt and uncertainty. We know that we are hiding from the truth that the ego thought system has no foundation. Yet the changelessness and strength of God remain with us and in us. We are still as God created us.
As we let go of following the ego’s direction and become more willing to follow Holy Spirit’s lead, our trust grows. We become increasingly confident that we are safe in God and all our needs are met. We feel God’s strength and power in us more and more as we peel away the ego’s belief that we have separated from God. God’s power and strength are ours. We claim it now.
