'If you abide (keep,continue,stand,stomach,comply,conform,endure,put up,bear,heed,suffer etc.) in my words (teachings), you are my disciples and then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.'

I figured i needed to make by flesh stronger by discipline and off i went

Years later i learned what rest was and to cease from my own works.
Trust was a very difficult concept for me. I didnt resist it just didnt get it.
