Your Question:

How can I trust anyone after being let down by my doctor?

Answer:

As someone who has walked through my own share of disappointments, including a recent healthcare experience where I felt let down by my doctor, I can understand the struggle to trust again. When we feel hurt or betrayed, it's natural to question whether we can truly trust others. However, as a pastor, I've come to realize that trust is not about the other person, but about our own relationship with God.

In the Bible, we're reminded that we are to pray first and seek healing through prayer and the elders of the church, not just relying on medical professionals (James 5:14-15). This doesn't mean that we don't seek medical help when needed, but rather that we recognize that God is the ultimate Healer. When we trust in God's sovereignty and provision, we can begin to rebuild our trust in others. This doesn't mean that we ignore the hurt or betrayal, but rather that we seek to understand the root causes and work towards healing and restoration.

As I reflect on my own experience, I realize that I was angry and hurt because I felt like I wasn't being heard or understood. I was looking for answers and solutions, but instead of seeking to trust God, I was trying to fix the problem on my own. It wasn't until I took a step back and sought God's guidance that I began to heal and rebuild my trust in others. I encourage you to do the same - take time to reflect on your relationship with God, and ask yourself if you're truly trusting Him for strength and guidance in your life.
