Darid: In relation to trust it can be confusing to attempt to discern the correctness of intention, the source of motivation, and the form of gratification desired through the feeling of appealing, that pleasure, that
receptive quality. Trust comes only, well, let me put it this way: It comes in two forms: One is a strong and close relationship with the divine within you, a trust that is linked with the understanding of divine love and compassion, of concern and care for your well-being, of the greatness of the knowledge and wisdom of the Father who is capable of preparing you, of teaching you flawlessly.  

The second is the result of application, of stepping forward, executing a desire, experiencing the results, making an adjustment, developing a new technique, and deriving confidence. This trust is the result of experience.

Since the nature of the human soul is growth, trust will ever be necessary, for as you become experienced and accomplished, a new level of the inexperienced and the unattained rises before you, and trust must be reapplied. So I offer that one not fall into thinking that trust will ever be gained, but trust is always a gaining experience, ongoing.

Perhaps a little picture would be a nice addition. The trust of the Father that one develops is much like letting the Father be your bicycle mechanic. As you work together to inflate the tires, to tighten the spokes, to adjust the handlebars and seat and oil the chain, you develop a trust in your ability to bicycle, for your vehicle is tuned up. But the trust of experience comes from having ridden this bicycle up a hill, down a hill, over gravelly roads, through mud, over smoothly paved roads, and to realize that you stay up, to realize that when you fall you can get back on, and you have the same skills and you have learned how better to negotiate your course.
