Your Question:

Can I trust anyone when everyone seems to be against me?

Answer:

As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with trusting others when it seems like everyone is against them. But I've learned that trust is not something that's earned by others, but rather it's a choice we make. When we choose to trust in people, we're putting our faith in imperfect and fallible individuals. And when they fail us, which they inevitably will, our trust is shaken.

The Bible teaches us that our trust should be in God, not in people. When we trust in God, we're not trusting in a person's ability to meet our needs or expectations, but rather in God's character and promises. When we trust in God, we're not worried about what others think of us, but rather we're focused on pleasing Him. This doesn't mean we don't have relationships or that we don't care about what others think, but rather that our trust is rooted in something greater than human relationships.

As a husband and father, I've learned to trust my wife and children, but I've also learned to temper that trust with wisdom and discernment. I don't trust my children to make all the right decisions, but I trust that they're trying to do what's right. And I trust that God is working in their lives, even when they make mistakes. So, to answer your question, I don't trust anyone completely, not even my own family members. But I do trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, and I trust that He's working everything out for my good.
