After 51 years of thinking about and dealing with the complexities associated with living on planet earth, I have concluded that "trusting God totally" with every aspect of life is the only way to truly survive.
Even at 51-years-old, I am amazed at how many life-issues confound me in such a way that I cannot "think my way through" them. More and more, I just find myself having to simply and profoundly decide whether or not I will "trust God totally" or not. Will I hold on tightly to the things that confuse me or will I surrender all things, all-the-time, to His care?
I have two thoughts on my mind right now. One of the thoughts is a line from an old hymn of the church, "I Surrender All". The line is "I will ever love and trust Him". My second immediate thought is a verse of Scripture that our family clung to in our faith-building days at Bible college in 1992-1994. The Scripture was and still is 1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) -- ... casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

"GOD KNOWS! GOD CARES!"
Lord, let it be said of me that I trusted You totally at all times!

Unload On God. Hurl Your Cares On Him.
God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (CEV)
Unload on Him all your cares.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (French Translation Bible)
Hurling all your cares upon Him.
-- 1 Peter 5:7 (Greek)
Happy is the soul that is not uneasy.
My Lord, help me to be always trusting with my mind fastened on You. I don't ever want to be troubled thinking You don't care for me. I want to be anxious about nothing, but continuously believing that You are totally trustworthy, yes, that You care for me at all times and in all circumstances of life. Indeed, I desire to live by faith and to die in faith. In Jesus' name. Amen.
During our Bible School days, 1992-1994, my wife, Kim, and I raised our then small children on this family theme song from 1 Peter 5:7. We often sang it during trying times. It brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it still:
ALL JOY! no fear!
