While reading a devotional I happened upon the poem below, it's that whole trusting God completely thing--the giving of your life and your very soul over with no restraint... but what if we do and God messes up?
Hm, you probably read that and said "but He doesn't mess up."
Interesting..., so why do we live like He does?
"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." Ps. 37:5
"Commit your will to the Lord and trust!"
Ah, it is here we fail! We give the wheel
Of our small bark to Him; but then we trust
Our hand upon His hand,
And dare to stand
Beside our Master, lest He wreck our keel.
"Commit your will to the Lord and trust!"
Leave all to Him; believe He knows your course,
Your dangers, and your safety--all--then just
Abandon all to Him:
Sowill you skim
Borne briskly on before the Spirit's force.
"Commit your will to the Lord and trust!"
there is an "also" we too oft forget,
And so are plagued and worried. Oh, we must
"Trust also," then our soul
Shall cease to roll
In restlessness and reason and regret!
Commit! and then, committed, trust His Word!
Has He not said that He will bering you through?
Trust His strong arm; and when wild storms are heard,
Believe He holds them still
by His strong will.
Trust Him, the Wise, the Faithful, and the True.
Trust Him to manage all that you do now
Commit to Him--the ship--the sails--the sea--
He will do all for thee,
But trustful be.
Lie down and rest from anxious worry free.

Trust is one of the hardest things. We think we've trusted God with everything, until he points out that we haven't (we may still be holding on to something that he wants us to trust him with). It's an awesome poem!!
