What does it look like to entrust one's soul to God?

1 Peter 4:19 (ESV)

19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

In the New Testament, the term “soul” repeatedly stands for one’s life (Matthew 16:25; Matthew 20:28; Luke 14:26). In his suffering (including possible imprisonment and execution), the Christian is meant to surrender his life (his self) to God.
