Can We Trust God in all Circumstances?

2 Corinthians 4:8-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—
We have troubles all around us but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do.

God does care for us, of course, for John 3:16-17 shows us how much:
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. But can we trust God to help and provide for us? Sometimes it is best to get out of God's way and let Him handle the situation when we are overwhelmed.
After all in Isaiah 40:11, God will fight for us - we just have to trust Him to handle the entire situation for us:
11He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.
So what do you think of all this of our God when we are in a bind, will He fight for us? In Exodus14:14:  14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” 
Just trust, don't direct or question. Just pray and wait to see what God does, nothing more is necessary. Psalm 62:6:  6He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
So, pray as the Psalmist prayed in Psalms 109:22  22 For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.
He will save you from any circumstance!
