Biblical Answer

When trust is broken, it can be a devastating experience that can lead to feelings of hurt, anger, and betrayal. In a relationship, trust is built over time as we come to know a person's character, values, and actions. When a person breaks that trust, it can be difficult to regain, especially if the breach of trust is repeated. According to the text, unresolved issues from the past, such as daddy-and-momma issues, can have a powerful impact on a person's ability to trust others. In fact, it's said that trust can be "squeezed right out of a relationship" within the first nine to twelve months if these issues are not addressed.

Breaking trust can also lead to a pattern of self-centered behavior, where we try to satisfy our own needs and desires rather than putting our trust in others. This can lead to addiction, as we try to fill the void in our lives with temporary fixes. However, this approach ultimately undermines trust and respect in our relationships. The text suggests that the only way to truly overcome trust issues is to demonstrate integrity and a pattern of life that warrants trust. This takes time and effort, but it's a necessary step towards rebuilding trust and restoring relationships.

Ultimately, trust is not just about trusting others, but also about trusting God. The text suggests that when we trust in God, we are able to overcome our fears, doubts, and insecurities. We are able to see that God is great and all-sufficient, and that he has suffered on account of evil. This realization can help us to trust in God's goodness and sovereignty, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. By trusting in God, we can find hope and peace, and we can begin to rebuild trust in our relationships with others.
