Why This Matters: If you’ve struggled to trust others because of past hurts or disappointments, you might find it hard to trust God, too. But through neuroplasticity and the renewing of your mind in God’s Word, you can rewire old fear pathways into trust-filled ones. God’s faithfulness in the past is your confidence for the future — because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
