"Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness."
Psalm 37:3 (NKJV)
There are different kinds of food that you can eat that will help you in some way. For example, eating carrots is helpful because carrots contain beta-carotene, that the body converts to vitamin A, which is good for your eyes. Other examples would be things like spinach, which is high in vitamin K and good for the bones, salmon, which is high in omega-3 fatty acids and helps brain and heart health, and almonds, which are high in vitamin E and good for skin health. Having these foods as a consistent part of your diet will help you in different areas of your health.
What we eat can be a benefit to us naturally, and what we spend our time with, what we feed ourselves in that way, can help us as well. Trust is something built on relationship, the more time you spend with someone, the better your relationship with them will be, and this results in your ability to trust that person. Some Christians do not have a great deal of trust in God, because they have not developed in their relationship with God. But the more we learn about God and get to know Him and His character, the greater our trust in God can become.
Psalm 37:3 tells us to trust in the Lord and feed on His faithfulness. We can develop greater trust in God by feeding on God's faithfulness by reading in the Bible about who God is, what He has done for others, and by reminding ourselves of all of the times that God has been faithful in our lives. If we just look at our circumstances and think about the problems that we face, wondering what we are going to do, it makes it more difficult to trust God, because we are "feeding" on the wrong thing. We need to feed on God's faithfulness and reject feeding on things that are contrary to that.
