People often regard the "leap of faith" as something terribly frightening, as though we must somehow jump into an abyss with no assurance that our life will continue. But actually, faith is the assurance of what we hope for because we know Him Who has given us that faith and hope. Jesus surrendered His life into the Father's hands because He knew the One to Whom He surrendered.
If we do not know God, we 'hope' for the best, but do not believe or trust Him. If we know God's unfailing love and faithfulness, we can trust all things into His hands---and trusting Him, we are not afraid to leave everything else behind:
Your father in heaven knows that you need these things (for survival) [and He will provide them], but seek first the kingdom of heaven....
If we do what He tells us to do, we can assuredly leave everything else in His care.
