"Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge." ~Psalm 62:8, NIV
He is God, and He is good. He is the one we are to trust in at all times, the one who is our refuge, because He is the one who loves us.
God is one of the few people that you can fully trust when you pour your heart out on Him. If you're afraid to let it all out to anyone else, take a chance on Him and just let go. Trust Him, and ask for some help - just the act of loosening the grip on your spirit, a spirit God knows well (because He created it...) can bring healing and with that, courage.
Sometimes we're afraid to let God protect us because we feel we "aren't good enough". Firstly, there's no such thing as "good enough". You either accepted God or you didn't. Secondly, (and a little paradoxically) He knows you're not good enough. If you thought you could hide that, you're lying to yourself. He knows our every weakness, and the thing is, He isn't disgusted by them - on the contrary, He wants to help you overcome your weaknesses! That's why this psalmist is telling the people to trust Him, and to pour out your hearts onto Him - those actions on our behalf ensure that He can best be our sanctuary.
