Author	Thread: How do you learn to trust again?
Admin	How do you learn to trust again? Posted : 21 Apr, 2011 06:47 PM I'm not really looking for an answer because I know it will take time after being hurt...again. But it really hurts and I guess I just need to say this. After almost a year of seeing someone who I thought was very special, someone I had trusted and thought was sincere, he decides that he doesn't want to "date anymore." Just ten days before that revelation, we spent almost the whole day together and everything was just as it had been. We laughed and joked and enjoyed each other's company. I don't understand and he says that it's not anything I've done. Okay...game over. But how do I trust again after that? Post Reply

First of all I am so thankful that God brought you through the tragedy of thinking suicide,,We have experienced jt in our family and the affect are a life time.I have to remember that Job never cursed God and even though he did loose everything .God blessed him again more than he had in the beginning. Well thanks for your encouragement.Donna Post Reply

Posted : 5 May, 2011 12:52 PM Hi everyone I sat her and read through all of your post and my heart ached for Sharon and because it reminded me of my own experiences. Heart break is just that a breaking of the heart. But the way that God designed us is that whatever is broken can be made whole again. I was in a long distance relationship and we were really good friends. Then on a mission trip that the guy was on he met someone and we lost contact or at least he stopped contacting me. Then after months of worry I was on facebook and decided to type in his name and lo and behold he had gotten married. I was beside myself, angry and bitter and shaking my fist at God as to why he would allow such a thing. The guy was the sweetest most caring and he knew that i had had trust issues before and that it was hard for me even to open up. But you know what. God knew what he was doing and what he allowed. But then on the flip side I knew I couldn't blame God what if he was showing me signs and I ignored it because I was in love and refused to acknowledge anything else. As caught up as we get in the throes of love and all it's grandeur we need to hold back a piece of ourselves and seek God, ask His direction in everything before we make decisions not moving to the left or the right. One: it's gonna save us a lot of heartache and two: I grew closer with Him my worship ministry grew because I put Him first in my life. So i could have been one of those man hating bashing women but i couldn't, Christ was in my heart and so forgiveness resided also. So Forgive Him, not for his sake but for yours then ask your Abba father to ease the pain. he won't totally take it away in some instances but trust Him. Now I am open and willing to trust someone again. It's been four years now and there are somedays you reminisce. Buth leave the past to God, Live in the present for Him asnd give Him your future, I know it's a lot to read but i just wanted to encourage you. God bless and I will be praying for you. Post Reply

nepb47 View Profile History	How do you learn to trust again? Posted : 9 May, 2011 10:34 PM When I was going through a hard time in my life I *felt* like God had abandoned me. I knew in my head that God would never leave me, so I kept on praying and reading the Bible. I have no doubts about His reliability, what I have trouble trusting is my own judgment and to be honest other men. If I ever get involved again how will I know I can trust him. I thought I made a good choice the first time? NB Post Reply

Posted : 11 May, 2011 09:16 AM Hi NB,,, I don't know about you, but at 20 I thought I had the tiger by the tail...Even against heeding warning from my Pastor went into marriage with with the romantic idea it was forever,,I dated my ex for 2 yrs..You would think you would know some one in that amount time Oh so WRONG,,,I have been alone for 3 yrs,so I don't know when you can know if you can trust some one...I do know after 31 yrs of marriage it is gonna take time..I was just pursed by a family friend who I have known forever,and knew it wasn't right...I do know that God loves me and has a plan for me and my biggest trust needs to be in him...I have a book from Beth Moore and hold onto a quote from her....I am freed to know that my God is huge and my God is able.So I know If I don't get what I ask from him,If I'll cooperate,I'll get something bigger.I'll know that a greater "yes" is in progress...I just have to believe and be in his word and prayer...daily..I do wish you the best...Donna:waving: Post Reply
View Profile History	How do you learn to trust again? Posted : 21 May, 2011 09:23 PM Thank you for all those wonderful comments. I've been off the site for a little bit. Just to let you know, I'm doing very well and our Lord is still comforting as He always has. He has given me so much and so many very good friends. It's true that when God closes a door, He opens a window. But it's really a help to know that when you go through things like this, you're not alone. I thank each of you and pray that our Lord will give you a special blessing for ministering as you have. God bless you. Sharon Post Reply
