You Can Love God and Still Be Afraid to Trust Him

Disappointment and painful experiences can make coming close to God feel frightening, even when you love Him deeply. You can acknowledge that struggle with the Father who already knows what you’ve walked through and why trusting Him feels difficult.

This short reflection offers reassurance of His patient love. He meets you where you are as you learn that it’s safe to come close. Even “Lord, I want to trust You, but I don’t know how” can be a place to begin with Him.
