Hun read the next verse it says therefore I will look to the LORD
in God we can trust as for trusting others yea it is hard as just about everybody will let you down at one time or another. it may not be wrong to protect yourself but it can be lonely at times. Between people there can be degrees of trust and true trust is earned but if we learn where some can not be trusted then we know that from experience then we can also learn that they can be trusted in other areas.
Yes it is very hard to trust people and when trust is broken it hurts immensely and for long periods of time. But not everyone is the same and some can be trusted in areas that others cant be. Relationships do take work to keep and work to grow and in developing them there will be times of pain and hurt but these are also lessons we learn that can help us to grow and to realize that these are things we dont want to do to others. but there can also be joy, love and caring in those relationships and some even though not the best can be worth keeping.
Perhaps in being expectant that the relationship will fail you may miss out on some wonderful times you may disagree but I have found that moments of love and joy are wonderful things that I really do not wish to miss out on even if there are going to be times of hurt and heartache mixed in with them.
