Having your trust broken can be life-altering, but it doesn’t have to be life-ruining.
Broken trust complicates every bit of the parts of love that should be comforting. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A family member betrayed you. A spouse cheated on you. A leader deceived you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and are starting to question:
I understand this kind of deep pain and the skepticism that makes us wary. But I’ve also learned so much that I want to invite you into my journey and share the scriptural wisdom I’ve gained, the tools that have been helpful, the setbacks, the victories, and the deepest wrestling I’ve ever done with questions about myself, others, and even God.
I get the fear of trying again. But I’ve come to know the joy of moving into new seasons and finally feeling safe enough to connect deeply with people who are trustworthy. Through these pages, you can find the confidence and courage to walk into a future full of possibilities. And I promise you the risks are worth taking.
is the oxygen of all human relationships.
But it’s also what trips you up after you’ve been burned.
Lysa says it’s not simply about finding better people to walk with. It’s about developing the stability you long for within yourself and with God, so you don’t become cynical and carry a broken belief system into every new relationship.
