The crux of the matter is, everything we do is in God's hands. We may do it for the wrong reasons or the right ones, we may follow God or not, but His overarching influence protects other people from your stupidity, and you from theirs as often as not. There is free will, yet at the same time God is in control.
So really, trusting in God essentially is just admitting that you are not in control and believing that He will take every situation and make it into something better in you or the people around you. Believe He is in control, but still do good, because that is obeying Him.
Do good to make the world around you a better place in His name. And when you're not in control, you can just let things happen, and you will dwell in the land that God made with no concern whether or not something out of your control will burst your bubble. Now don't get apathetic, and passively accept events; you are in control of you, just as the neighbor is in control of himself (free will), but realize that your control is limited, and God's is not.
Your control was created so you could do good and make the world a better place. Trusting God gives you peace of mind to do so. Awesome, right?
