Trust is the word. At its core, trust is a belief in the reliability, integrity, or ability of someone or something. It’s what allows us to feel safe enough to be vulnerable, to take risks, and to rely on others without constant fear of betrayal or disappointment. In AA we say trust God, clean house, help others. Helping others is our one true aim. But, we cannot transmit something we haven't got, so we clean our house first. Even when an airplane is crashing, before you help others you must put your own oxygen mask on. And, before you attempt a housecleaning in the sense that the twelve steps require, you should first place your trust in God as you understand God. Often easier said than done.
