Trust

We place a tremendous amount of trust in those around us. And sometimes we place trust in those that we find, only to late, should never have been granted such a precious thing.

I often include the men and women who help our little ward to function, in my prayers, that they will have the strength and wisdom to make it through each struggle or challenge they may face in positions of leadership they agree to perform. Especially when they must maintain decorum that can at times, be so very stressful and diffucult to keep to themselves.

I am grateful to those in these positions that I can confide in most of them without worry. My trust was recently violated by one that has been in and out of such positions in church. I ask the Lord to help me understand the lesson He has for me today, knowing that information I allowed this individual to have, was inappropriately shared and discussed with whomever seemed willing to listen. And in this persons haste to share, rumors and gossip have negatively impacted me, my children and so many others.

I look to the Lord, my knees worn out with prayer, what is the lesson? How do I amend, repair, soothe those affected by the damage?
