Heal from Broken Trust with Others, Yourself, and God
(A Guided Journal to Use Alongside I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t)
Having your trust broken can be life-altering, but it doesn’t have to be life-ruining. New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst knows what it’s like to struggle with trust issues. In The Trust Journey, she walks alongside you and shows you what to do when you're skeptical of others, doubtful of your own discernment, and afraid of what God will allow next. Through these pages, she offers practical advice and biblical wisdom so you can heal from past betrayals and find new strength and resilience.
The Trust Journey is a full-color, guided companion to help you explore your personal trust issues and unpack crucial concepts from I Want to Trust You, but I Don't. Lysa is also sensitive to the fact that distrust is sometimes the wisest choice to make in some relationships, but it shouldn't be the only choice we make in all of our relationships. It's time to know the joy of moving into new seasons with fresh hope and better tools to build and keep healthier relationships.
Because I Want to Trust You, but I Don't is a book that needs to be processed and not just read, Lysa intentionally created this resource for you to be prayerful, self-reflective, and honest with yourself and God. Throughout the interactive portions of this journal, you will:
- Recognize when a fractured relationship can and cannot be repaired
