Do you find it hard to trust some people? Do you find it hard to trust...anyone? Our society is full to the brim of people who have been hurt, wounded, devastated. It puts up a wall and we live behind it in silence and fear.

 

After the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, the people of that captive country were free for the first time to tell their stories. One woman said that she had been driven nearly insane by the dictator’s torture chambers, but when he was gone, someone shared the love of Christ with her. Her mind and spirit were restored.

 

She said that for the first time in her life, she could now trust. It opened her heart to beauty and friendships and love. Most of all, she now loves her Savior with her whole healed heart.

 

Psalm 91:2 says, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

 

Your situation might not be as extreme as our Iraqi sister, but if you have trust issues, take them to Jesus and tell Him with your whole hurting heart that You need Him. He will meet you where you are!

 

Let’s pray.

 

Lord, your love heals all kinds of pain. We thank you that your mercies endure forever. Amen.
