There is a klipah of trust, when one has trusted in unworthy things, e-lokim acharim. And this makes us hurt and bleed and become hardened and lose our ability to open the place of trust. And one has to find a way to purify oneself from this:
Your trust and love that I misplaced, I am sorry, Hashem. You want to give me love and I trusted in things that hurt me. I ask You please to forgive me for trusting in my fallen pleasures, my fear, my need to fill up my insecurity. Show me how to trust You, Hashem.
Let me trust again, Hashem. Let the place of trust be cleansed so I can feel Your love again. And let me not take Your love and Your trust in me and put it unclean places. Let me find a way to cherish Your trust in me so I don't treat it frivolously or meanly or harshly or wind up embarrassed or degraded.
Show me how to receive Your love and Your trust. Teach me to be worthy. Teach me not to blame others for my lack of trust, let me begin to return to You by regretting what I have done and not blame others.
I have been unworthy of Your trust but I want to be worthy. Teach me the lesson and show me how to listen, Hashem. Your lessons are so deep I don't always have the vessels Hashem. Please give me the patience to strive to understand what is for me to understand and to leave the rest to You, Hashem.
Let me trust in You Hashem, and not make my life a burden by trying to carry all of it. Let me know when to let You carry it and how to rest in You Hashem. Let me find my portion, "My Gd," and let the rest go. Let me learn to love "My Gd" and let the others go. Let me trust in how You made me, let my feet touch the ground, let how You made me find Your grace in this world through trusting in You. My pain, Hashem, let me let go of the disappointments of the heart. Let me trust that the love that was lost was not the end of love. Let me find exalted love where there was fallen love. Let the overfullness of my heart find its mate in You Hashem. Touch me Hashem.
