Trusting God

Ok, last week I have been trying to figure out what trusting in God means in practical day life...since it doesn't mean that nothing bad will happen but then how can i trust Him, or what does it mean???
So I went through Galatians till Jude... Here some conclusions...

I can trust the Lord because
  • He is for me and not against me
  • His eye is upon me
  • He is in control
  • He is able to keep me from stumbling
  • He is good
  • He has hedged me in, behind and before
  • He will complete it
  • It has been granted to me to also suffer for His sake
  • I will be hated, but if I endure to the end, I will be saved
  • People can't kill my soul, but only my body
  • He saves my soul
  • He is my comforter
  • The plans He has for me are good
  • He leads me on His way
  • He will deliver me
  • He will never leave me, nor forsake me
  • The peace of God will guard my heart and my mind
  • He shall supply all my needs
  • He is faithful
  • He will establish me and guard me from the evil one
  • God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind
  • All who desire to live Godly will suffer persecution
  • The Lord strengthens me
  • He will deliver me from evil work
  • He will preserve me for His heavenly kingdom
  • Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered
  • Run the race with endurance, the race that is set before you, looking unto Jesus
  • The Lord is my helper, do not fear what can a man do to you?
  • The testing of faith produces patience
  • Blessed is the man who endures temptation for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love Him (this is literal)
  • When He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed himself to Him who judges righteously
  • If you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed
  • Do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled
  • If anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed but let him glorify God in this matter
  • Cast all your cares upon Him, cause He cares for you
  • After you have suffered a while, God will perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you
  • Do not marvel if the world hates you
  • We know that we have passed from death to life
