Trust
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart."
— Proverbs 3:5
Father,
Trusting is difficult for me. I have been disappointed, betrayed, hurt. So I protect myself, control, no longer really trust You or others.
Heal my ability to trust. Not a naive trust that ignores dangers, but a wise trust that knows how to take calculated risks.
May I trust You first, then trust others appropriately. A life without trust is a life in a prison.
Amen.

Reflection
Where do you have trouble trusting? God? Others? Yourself? What small step of trust could you take?
For all those who have lost the ability to trust.
