“Paranoia strikes deep,” is a line I remember from a song in my past. Paranoia is a pattern of intense suspicion and distrust of others, believing they intend to harm you, even without sufficient evidence, leading to defensiveness, difficulty trusting, and misinterpreting neutral actions as threats.
Does the Bible give the cure for such a malady? Glad you asked.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
God brings all kinds of people into our lives. Unless they are a proven threat, give them a chance.
Give it some thought.
