Twice Shattered: A Journey Through Miscarriage, Betrayal, and Unimaginable Pain

Trust Hoax

There’s a feeling we all crave—the assurance that someone’s got us.

The comfort of knowing that if life takes a sharp turn, there’s a steady hand to hold.
The peace that comes with believing that the people we love will always protect us, always provide, always be there.

And so, we trust.

We trust the parents who raised us.
We trust the spouse who vowed forever.
We trust the friends who say, “I’ve got your back.”

And to be fair, sometimes they do.

Until they don’t.

What Happens When People Let Us Down?

Not every story is one of betrayal or abandonment.

Some of us have loving families, stable marriages, friendships that have stood the test of time.

Yet, even in the best relationships, we’ve all felt the limits of human security.

A husband may protect you, but he can’t shield you from every harm.
A mother may comfort you, but she can’t take away the ache of life’s deepest wounds.
A best friend may walk with you, but even they don’t always understand what you’re carrying inside.

Not because they don’t love you.
Not because they don’t try.
But because they are not God.

And that’s where we often get it wrong.

The Subtle Shift: When We Trust People More Than God

It doesn’t always start as rebellion.

Most of us don’t wake up one day and decide, “I trust people more than I trust God.”

But it happens in the way we prioritize human promises over divine ones.

A husband says, “I will take care of you,” and we exhale.
God says, “I will supply all your needs,” and we want proof.

A friend says, “I’ve got you,” and we lean in.
God says, “I will never leave you,” and we ask, “But what if?”

It’s almost as if, deep down, we think man’s words are more reliable than God’s.

But let me ask you something—when has God ever borrowed strength?

When has He ever spoken a promise He wasn’t fully capable of keeping?

When has He ever needed resources to provide, wisdom to understand, or permission to move?

People make promises based on what they hope to do.
God makes promises based on what He already knows He will do.

The Security That Cannot Fail

Here’s what I’ve come to learn:

A marriage centered on a man’s ability to be faithful is fragile.
A family centered on human effort is vulnerable.
A friendship based on emotional connection alone is limited.

But when a marriage is anchored in God’s faithfulness, it weathers any storm.
When a family builds on God’s strength, it stands through every trial.
When friendships are rooted in God’s love, they carry grace, patience, and endurance.

Because God isn’t just an emergency exit for when things go wrong—He is the foundation that keeps things right.

A Life Built on Unshakable Trust

The beauty of trusting God isn’t just seen in how He catches us when we fall—
It’s in how He holds us up so we never collapse in the first place.

It’s in how He strengthens marriages when love feels hard.
It’s in how He blesses friendships with depth and longevity.
It’s in how He covers families with supernatural provision and protection.

Because when God is the security, you don’t have to live in fear of what happens if someone else fails you.

And that, my friend, is a trust that can never be misplaced.
