Learning to Trust God again....

[247youth]

Do any of you that have been through sexual abuse have problems trusting God? I've come to realize it's a huge problem for me. I still haven't gotten the help I need, because of fear. I dunno, I guess I'm just curious to see if I'm the only one who has such a hard time trusting God....

No your not alone.
Sometimes I feel as though I was betrayed by God because he allowed me to be abused.
Then other times I feel guilty for thinking such things about God.

It is a hard battle for us to get through.

Only time will tell as to how well our scars heal.

But scars always remain even if they can't be seen. It is how we deal with them when they are troubling us that make us who we are.

At the momement I would say to you not to feel too bad about not completly trusting God.

I think deep down he understands us better than we do and I am sure he forgives us for the way we think sometimes even if we don't.

Just hang in there with the rest of us. I know it is hard but with the right support the burden is just that little bit lighter to bear.

All the best
Sarah.

You are not at all unusual. There are real questions - eg why did He not protect you, real broken trust generally and real hurts, all of which make life afterwards difficlut and painful.

With wise counsel and good support you can be healed, so don't despair. But, many Christians don't understand the effects of rape and can give some pretty useless advice at times.

There are allot of times i find it difficult to trust in God, but seeking support and my church has helped me keeps my faith in God. It tough but i pray for each one of us to feel Gods love around us today.

I wouldnt necassarily say I blame God for what happened to me, and I cannot say I blame myself but I can say I blame myself for falling into the trap. I shouldnt of been alone and I should of seen the warning signs my family and friends were giving me about him. But sometimes its hard to put that trust in guys now because of how scared I am that it will happen again. I know it wont because I know what to look for now but at the sametime there will always be fear in my heart and in my mind everytime I meet and talk to someone new.
