I want to trust God, but I do not feel safe

Maybe your mind knows the words: God is good. God loves me. God is with me. But when you try to lean toward Him, surrender, depend on Him, or let yourself hope, your body braces. That reaction can feel confusing or even shameful because it seems to contradict what you believe. But trust is not only an idea.

Pendulation: Activation + neutral

Begin by noticing one place in your body that feels activated, tense, heavy, fluttery, or unsettled. Do not choose the most intense sensation if that feels like too much. Stay with it for only two or three seconds.

Inside this collection

Every topic in Trusting God

  • I want to trust God, but I do not feel safe

    Free

    You can genuinely want to trust God and still feel something in you pull back when you try.

  • Church or spiritual authority hurt me

    Members

    When someone hurt you while speaking for God, it can become difficult to separate the person who harmed you from the God they claimed to represent.

  • Surrender sounds like losing control or getting hurt

    Members

    Surrender does not feel peaceful when part of you has learned that letting go means something you love might be taken from you.

  • I am angry that God allowed this

    Members

    Sometimes the hardest part is not only what happened—it is knowing you believed God could have stopped it, and He did not.

  • I keep expecting God to disappoint me

    Members

    Sometimes expecting disappointment feels safer than letting yourself hope God might meet you differently this time.

  • I do not know what God is asking me to do

    Members

    It is hard to make a decision when you are afraid there is one right answer from God—and that choosing wrong means you missed Him.

  • I feel guilty for doubting

    Members

    Sometimes the doubt is not the most painful part. It is the fear that having the doubt means something is wrong with your faith—or with your relationship with God.

Everything in Trusting God when trust feels unsafe is waiting for you.

Membership opens every topic and practice, Body First for when your body is loud, weekly Q&A with Amanda, and a quiet community.
