To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust Him in the dark–that is faith.
From Romans 13:12: “The night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Our part. Trust God wholeheartedly, in every corner of life, recognizing that He is the One in charge.
