How can I rely upon Allah Almighty in my life?
First: You should know His Beautiful Names and Attributes. The more Allah is revered and extolled within your heart, the closer you get to Him.
Second: Trust Him and think positively of Him.
“I am as My s ervant thinks of Me.”
[Narrated by Ibn Mājah] [Sahīh (Authentic)]
This person who spends in charity does so only because he trusts Allah Almighty and knows that He will give him better compensation. Likewise, he who gets out of bed and stands before Allah in prayer does so only because he thinks positively of his Lord. The same holds true for those who perform Hajj, ‘Umrah, and other acts of worship and piety.Third: Renounce your own power and admit your weakness before your Lord. Show your need to Him and supplicate Him to not leave you to your own devices or to any of His servants. An authentic Hadīth contains this supplication:
“Allāhumma rahmataka arju fa la takilni ilanafsu tarfata ‘ayn (O Allah, I hope for Your mercy. So, do not leave me to my own devices even for the blink of an eye!”
[Narrated by Ahmad] [Sahīh (Authentic)]
“I am as My servant thinks of Me.”

[Surat Ghāfir: 44]
Sixth: Be content with what Allah has decreed for you and know that it is in your best interest. If you do not show contentment, then you are as what Bishr al-Hāfi said: “Someonesays, ‘I rely upon Allah’ while he tells a lie against Allah, for if he truly relied upon Him, he would be content with whatever Allah did to him.”

{And rely upon the Ever-Living Who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He with the sins of His servants, All - Aware.}
