Alma 36

"And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day" (3).

Put your trust in God. Trust in God can bless individuals, families, communities and nations.

Elder Henry B. Eyring in General Conference October 2010 siad in his talk "Trust in God, Then Go and Do":
That trust comes from knowing God. More than any other people on earth, we have, through the glorious events of the Restoration of the gospel, felt the peace that the Lord offered His people with the words 'Be still, and know that I am God' (Psalms 46:10). My heart is filled with gratitude for what God has revealed about Himself that we might trust Him. . . .  
You show your trust in Him when you listen with the intent to learn and repent and then you go and do whatever He asks. If you trust God enough to listen for His message in every sermon, song, and prayer in this conference, you will find it. And if you then go and do what He would have you do, your power to trust Him will grow, and in time you will be overwhelmed with gratitude to find that He has come to trust you.
We can listen to learn and repent to everything. Not just General Conference. However, the next one is coming up. But we can listen to learn and obey to inspiration that can come in classes at church or at school. We can listen for God's will to us in good songs or scripture study. We can listen anywhere and everywhere. When we listen and then follow what God has asked us to do, when we trust him, we will find ourselves enormously blessed. Trust in God. Think of it every time you see U.S. currency with the words "In God We Trust." It will bless your lives, trusting God.
