how can I get my iPhone 4s to "Trust" my computer again after I accicentally clicked "Don't Trust"?

When I plugged my iPhone 4s into my computer I got the prompt for "Do you trust this computer?", I accidentally clicked on "Don't Trust". I cannot seem to find where I can get it to "Trust" this computer again. I tried unplugging it from the computer, allowing the iPhone to lock so I would have to enter my pass code again, then re-plugging it into the computer and entering the pass code expecting it to ask me to trust the computer again; but it does not. Any help?

Thank you!

iPhone 4S, iOS 9.1

In iTunes, open Preferences, Advanced tab, and click Reset Warnings. Then connect the phone again.

Check the bottom paragraph here:

'Trust This Computer' alert on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I would try resetting network settings if all else fails.

Thank you @LawrenceFinch & @sberman, I think the problem is resolved. Part of the reason for my initial question is that after the above described incident I no longer saw the "Trust This Computer?" message (which I used to see all the time). I looked at the article that @sberman suggested and it said, "If you tap Don't Trust, you'll see this alert each time you connect your device to that computer".

This is the opposite of what I have been experiencing, plus my phone is syncing with iTunes when I plug it in; so I guess everything is OK. Thank you both for your replies and assistance!
