Biblical Answer

Can I ever trust myself again?

According to the Bible, we can trust in Jesus and his power to help us (Matthew 9:29). When we trust in Jesus, we are not putting our trust in our own abilities, but in his power to help us. This means that we can try to do all that He says, but in a new way, a less worried way. We are not trying to do things on our own, but with the help of Jesus. As we learn to trust in Jesus, we can also learn to let go of our own self-trust. We can learn to recognize that our self-trust is often based on our own abilities and strength, rather than on Jesus' power.

In fact, the Bible tells us that we are not to trust in our own flesh, but rather to go beyond all confidence in ourselves and other people of God (Isaiah 50:10-11). This means that we need to recognize that our own self-trust is not reliable, and that we need to trust in Jesus instead. When we trust in Jesus, we can learn to forgive ourselves and others, and to let go of our own guilt and shame. We can learn to see ourselves as forgiven and loved, rather than as flawed and unworthy.

So, can I ever trust myself again? The answer is no. We can't trust in ourselves, because we are flawed and imperfect. But we can trust in Jesus, and his power to help us. When we trust in Jesus, we can learn to let go of our own self-trust, and to rely on his power instead. This means that we can learn to forgive ourselves and others, and to let go of our own guilt and shame. We can learn to see ourselves as forgiven and loved, rather than as flawed and unworthy. As we learn to trust in Jesus, we can also learn to trust in his power to help us, and to rely on him for everything. This is the true source of trust, and it is the only way to true freedom and peace.
