I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t

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 spouse cheated on you. A family member betrayed you. A leader deceived you. You’re exhausted by other people’s choices and are starting to question your own discernment. And you’re wondering, If God let this happen, can He even be trusted?

How can you step into the future when you keep stumbling over trust issues? 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. In I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t, Lysa will help you:

• Understand what discernment is and how to better use it when you have concerns about whether someone is telling the truth.
• Identify which of the 11 relational red flags are stirring up distrust so you can pinpoint why you’re feeling uneasy.
• Stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you, with crucial “what-if” questions to better process your doubts.
• Recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired, and consider a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust.
• Unpack the physical, emotional and neurological impact of the betrayals you’ve experienced, and start healing from the inside out.
