believe in
Put stock in
To believe in something is to accept its existence or trust in its value.
You can believe in ghosts, believe in democracy, or believe in yourself.
The phrase carries more conviction than simple belief—it suggests faith or commitment: I believe in you means more than thinking someone exists; it means trusting their potential.
