I also want to bring to light that the anxiety often accompanying our fears around trust may be trying to serve us, not hinder us. Though we want to keep it in check and not let our anxiety spiral out of control, we should also know God designed our bodies to detect when situations or people are not safe. Think about the natural instinct of an animal when it senses danger. Though we are different from animals, Job 12:7–13 tells us that God designed us with the same creative brilliance to use our senses and discernment to pick up on danger.
