Who Do You Trust?

 Is it hard for you to trust people, let alone God? ~ Mischell Day, 12-Step Journal Prompts & Creative Writing Ideas for Food Addiction (Kindle Locations 45-46)

How often do you say…or act as if you are saying…
“I’d rather do it myself!” Raise your hands.
Now, I wish I could see your hands. Mine is raised high.
I would tell you, if you asked, I didn’t want to bother others.
And there’s truth there. Why would I inconvenience anybody?
I’m not worthy. It’s not theirs to do, it’s mine. Don’t look at me.
But what if they do it and it’s not right? Will people blame me?
Will they wish I’d done it (or, of course, will they rejoice I didn’t)?
Will they promise to do it then not get to it (like I do)?
How guilty will I feel if I impose on them?
Well, it seems I have trust issues with people.
Does that mean I have to rely on God to ask them
or do what needs to be done? Certainly not!!
If I can’t impose on people, how can I on God?
If it doesn’t get done, did he not listen?
Do I not matter? Is he mad at me?
Who do I trust? Evidently…nobody.
