Why is it so hard?  What are we trusting?  If my foundation of trust is related to how everything affects me…I will have very little trust of others…and they with the same perspective will have very little trust in me.  If everyone has a center of self, then we all will be disappointed, frustrated and unable to trust.  Stephen Covey talks about trust in relationships as an emotional bank account…with deposits and withdrawals.  These are the behaviors we exhibit in our relationships.  The faith perspective is what relationship is at the center of your life, your heart and your mind?  Is it you with everyone else…or is it Christ and your relationship with Him?  The world tells you that you are at the center of everything…the Scriptures tells us that Christ should be.  This is a change in values, a change in perspective, a change in attitude…it takes time and Jesus Christ will be there with you every single step of the way.  Amen.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6
