Some of us had an unfortunate upbringing. Our parents, the people we’re supposed to trust and depend on, let us down. They may not have been there, they didn’t care, or they violated our trust in some way. At the same time, we may not have received a good foundation to value God’s word.

We get older and attempt to find trust in earthly relationships. Unfortunately, because of our upbringing, some of us have trust issues. Those trust issues sabotage these relationships or people take advantage of our trust.

With all that some of us have been through, we’re told to put all our trust in an invisible God who loves us. That’s a difficult task for some, but it’s worth it.

Depending on our situation, start trusting God a little bit at a time. The goal is to put all our trust in Him, but start with a portion of our trust. The first and most important thing to trust God with is our eternity. We may not trust God with our relationships or finances, but trust that He sent Jesus to die for our sins.

Once we’ve solidified our salvation, start trusting God in other areas like our protection. Find a scripture where God promises to protect us (Psalm 23:4), start confessing that scripture, and expect His protection in every situation. Eventually, we’ll move on to trusting God in our relationships, in our health, with our finances, etc.

Don’t allow an unfortunate upbringing and broken relationships to stop your trust in God. Our trust in God is THE only thing we can count on that will remove the pain of our past and positively impact our future. Trust in God.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Those who know your name trust in You, for You, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for You.
