I Want to Trust You, but I Don't: Moving Forward When You’re Skeptical of Others, Afraid of What God Will Allow, and Doubtful of Your Own Discernment

InI Want to Trust You, but I Don't, joinNew York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as you learn how to handle your skepticism and distrust so you can heal from past betrayals and move forward with strength and resilience.

Broken trust complicates every bit of the parts of love that should be comforting. Maybe a friend constantly lets you down. A family member betrayed you. A spouse cheated on you. A leader deceived you. You're exhausted by other people's choices and starting to question your own discernment. And you're wondering, If God let this happen, can he even be trusted?

Lysa understands this deep pain and the skepticism that makes you so wary, and she invites you into a journey of 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. InI Want to Trust You, But I Don't, you'll learn how to:

  • Identify which of the eleven 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 by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process your doubts

  • Recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust

  • Understand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out

In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.
