Trust...

My prayer:

Amazing God. I ask for greater discernment. My instinct, is to distrust people first and only trust them after a long period of proving their trustworthiness, if ever.

I do this because of being deeply hurt in the past by trusting those who turned out to be untrustworthy. I do it to protect myself. While it is understandable, the older I get the more I realize how this approach, this distrust, isolates me and keeps me from experiences and people that could really enhance my life.

God, I pray for healing of the old wounds, I pray for restoration of my trust, and I pray for your protection from those who should not be trusted.

What God Said Tonight?

Here are the basics, trust me. That is all you need to know and all you need to do. I will, in your trust bring in only those who are trustworthy and protect you against those who are not.
