take my word
Accept my assurance
Take my word is a request to believe what someone says without requiring proof: Take my word for it, you don't want to go there.
The phrase implies the speaker has direct knowledge or experience the listener lacks.
It often carries mild urgency, as when warning someone or making a promise: Take my word—she's trouble.
