“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.” — Jeremiah 17:7

This digital Bible study download explores the topic of dependency — what it is, what it is not, and how God designed us to rely on Him. This lesson is perfect for Bible teachers, homeschool families, small groups, church classrooms, and Christian education settings for both children and adults.

WORD STUDY — Hebrew + Greek
The Hebrew word for trust (batach) often carries the idea of leaning fully into God with security and confidence.
The Greek word peitho reflects a persuasion of heart — a belief that God is able and reliable.

These original word meanings help students see dependency on God not as weakness, but as confident reliance.
