Trust Issues

Many of us have trust issues. Some of us have tried long and hard to trust untrustworthy people. Over and again, we believed lies and promisess never to be kept. Some of us tried to trust people for the impossible; for instance, trusting a practicing alcoholic not to drink again.

Some of us trusted our God inappropriately. We trusted God to make other people do what we wanted, then felt betrayed when that didn't work out. Truly we can learn to appropriately trust our God - not to make people do what we want them to, but to help us take care of ourselves, and bring about the best possible circumstances at the best possible times, in our life.

We need to learn to trust appropriately. Trust our God and ourselves and trust others until you know the facts are not true. That is what messes your life up. The Bible says "Trust in the Lord........with ALL your heart........" Prov. 3:5 So hard to do, but must be done to keep all stress levels down!
