2)confident expectation of something; hope.
Issues:personal problems, esp.difficulties or disagreements with someone or something
So trust issues would ultimately mean: to no longer have confidence/hope or expectation due difficulties.
Everyone has issues with trust to a certain extent. We have issues when it comes to relationships due to our past experiences. We give people our trust. We trust them with our feelings, our hearts, our minds we open ourselves up and allow them in. Then something happens they cheat or they lie which causes us to LOSE the hope, the confidence and the integrity we expected that person to uphold. So we then have issues when the next person comes around.
Another form of trust issues is when a friend our family member hurts you. They lie on you they betray you they steal from you they spread rumors all kinds if things that makes you lose confidence in them.. So know we have hard time telling them things, going places with them and letting them into our personal lives right? right...
hmmmm So why is it we have "trust issues" when it comes to God?? If you think back over the situations you've experienced in the past to cause you to lose trust in someone what was the common denominator? .......
They did something to hurt you.. They did something to you to cause you to lose hope in them... So if that's the case we should never have issues of trust with God. He hasn't hurt us.. he hasn't lied on us,betrayed us,laughed at us,left us,cheated... so why do we lose our trust??.. Okay so maybe we don't lose ALL our trust in him. I mean we still trust him to wake us up every morning. We still trust God to get us to and from work safely every day. We trust him to protect our children. We trust him enough to keep us in our right minds, but we cant trust him enough to heal us. We cant trust him enough to provide for us. We cant trust him enough to bring us our spouse... No why is that?
I mean the people that are too holy to admit they lose trust in God probably cant relate, but us that are transparent know we have those days when we're like whoa okay God whats going on...
We get like that because a storm comes our way, and we're like why would God send me this storm when he knows I'm going through this that and the third....
Well we have to understand EVERY storm that comes our way ISN'T from God.. Check out when the disciples that where on the boat and the storm came. Jesus calmed the storm... told the waves to stop... Now why would Jesus have to tell a storm that God sent to stop??? doesn't make sense.. That storm WASN'T from God!.. We have to understand the devil is out their petitioning certain things to happen to God's children, please know that we can not be touched unless God ALLOWS it!
Every time a storm comes our way is just another opportunity for us to trust God, for us to depend solely on him and for him to show his love his power and his mercy.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
We have to trust God because he can not fail, he will not fail us. He will not forsake us.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
We cant be afraid, we have to know that God is going to take care of EVERYTHING... he didn't give us the spirit of fear.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
We have to be confident in God. Confident in knowing that he is perfect, he can make no mistakes and he will never leave us. No matter what the situation looks like keep your trust, keep your faith and keep your eyes on God.. let the world have its "trust issues" but as a Child of God you should have NONE!!
If you love someone tell them
I love you
