Critical reception
Writing for Air1, Katie Clinebell said: "With "Trust in God," Elevation Worship shows us that God strengthens our relationships with Him by allowing us to go through struggles, and consistently saving us from them before they become too much for us to handle. He has never failed us, even when we did not see Him working." Timothy Yap of JubileeCast opined "Chris Brown who gets to lead 3 out of the 8 tracks is particularly affective on "Trust in God." With the verses taking cues from the hymn "Blessed Assurance," the hymn is re-written with a contemporary gospel-sensitivity made even more dynamic with the input of a choir."
