My inability to trust is stemmed from this. FEAR: False Evidence Appearring Real. The hurt is so deep that it reappears just at the time I think it is gone/healed. Abandonment and rejection issues often sabotogue current relationships with Pastors, churches, friends, and family because of the TRUST issue.

But it is deeper yet than that: I don't trust God. If He is in charge of everything and everything is always falling apart then just what is He saying to me? Does He really love me? Will He truly never leave me? Does He really have my best interest at heart?

Opinions welcome

Blessings,
Rhoni
I have taken the approach to take control of my life and find my place with the Lord.

When everything starts to look like it is falling down.

I look to find someone that I can bless or help.

Then for some reason the Lord just finds a way to restore greater things.

I think it is all found in helping others.

Rhoni what I have seen and read from you on AFF you are just that kind of Lady.

I speak the peace of the lord over you and your friend....

Better days are ahead of us than were behind....

God bless...
