Summary

When several items were stolen from my checked luggage last December, it really degraded my trust in the airlines. I couldn't prove who took the things from my bag, but this experience made me determine not to pack anything of greater value than a pair of used shoes! It's understandable when we have trust issues as a side effect of being wronged by someone, especially when it was someone we should have been able to count as reliable. The problem with trust issues is that they tend to spill over into our walk with God, causing us to worry and become filled with anxiety and doubt. Fear and fretfulness are merely signs that our trust in God needs opportunities to grow. We may prefer to stay in our comfort zones, but greater growth happens in the discomfort zone, and that's where trust is learned. God is worthy of our trust, no matter what happens in this life.

1:08.1	and sometimes even people that we do know who have proven to be untrustworthy.
1:12.7	But what about God? Do we trust Him? We can have confidence in God. He has more than proven
1:19.9	himself, and we're so safe and secure in him. But why do we still have so many worries and fears?
1:27.2	Why are we so burdened, worrying, and fretting about
1:30.4	things? I think that we have trust issues, don't we? In Isaiah 26, verses 3 through 4, we see a powerful
1:38.6	passage about trust. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee
1:46.2	trust ye in the Lord forever for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength
1:51.8	let's consider five observations together in relationship to trust issues first of all
1:58.9	trusting in the Lord helps us commit our lives to the Lord. Psalm 37-5 really spells
