I was just sitting here thinking to myself who do I place my trust in. Upon thinking more I realized that many people place trust in circumstances and themselves and possibly others, but they don't place their trust in God. I know in my life that is somewhat true. I have trust issues, and I know that a lot of others have trust issues as well. It could be from many reasons like abuse, abandonment, or violations of trust as a child or violations of trust as an adult. If you grow up in a home where there is no trust in your parents relationship, or something happens and cause you not to trust others that is a big hindrance in being able to trust people as you grow older. I know that it is really hard to start all of a sudden start trusting in God, but God makes a promise for you. He says Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you. God wont hurt you either. Our God is a God of love. It has taken me many years to learn this. But in the past couple of months God has been working in my life in allowing him to love me. And in that it takes trust. I thought that I trusted God, but when it came to the point to have God love me I didn't want to. I was afraid. I didn't know what to expect. All the people who I allowed to get close to me and love me as a child ended up using it against me causing me to lose trust.I was afraid that God would do the same thing. I didn't want to be hurt again. But the truth was that I didn't want to hurt God. I realized all along that I was hurting God, by not letting Him love me, and not placing my trust in Him. I placed my trust in myself because I knew that I couldn't let myself down. If I trusted God, and let Him down I would feel like I disappointed Him. But that was lies that Satan was feeding me, and I was believing. The truth came through and I realized that I am NOT a disappointment to God. God still loves me despite my flaws. It's a long and hard process to allow God to love you but it's worth it. Once you are able to trust God completely so much weight is taken off of you shoulder. When I placed full trust in God so many doors were opened up in my life, and I was set free from a lot of things that I thought controlled me. I was placing trust in myself, which led to depression which is a everyday struggle still. It led to cutting which is still a struggle, but am a month clean from taking a blade to my body. It led to me getting an eating disorder which is now overcome because I have the blood of the Lamb. I started trusting God, and realized that the things that I was doing wasn't trusting in myself, but in the lies I was believing. Your not worth it, no one will care, you'd be better off with out God, God will hurt you. NO, those are ALL lies from Satan. He will do anything to get you away from Our loving Savior Jesus. The truth is that YOU ARE WORTH IT. PEOPLE DO CARE. YOU ARE BETTER WITH GOD. GOD WILL NOT HURT YOU. Once you place your trust in God, and not yourself, things will go much easier. In life you can't do anything for yourself and be happy. It all leads to darkness and hatred. It will bring you to places you wish you never would have been. God says come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Trust in God, you wont regret it. I love you all, and pray daily for you. God bless. If you have any specific prayer request comment, or message me. Love ya!
