10 Verses For When You Feel Betrayed

Has a close friend or relative betrayed you?

God numbers the stars and knows them by name, he sees you! He cares about your broken heart and tends to your wounds.

You are not alone. Jesus was betrayed. Sadly, there is a powerful enemy that is having victory in your betrayer’s life. Your betrayer is in his own prison of misery. Release them from your hatred – and be free. Jesus went to the cross so you could live in freedom!

God’s Word brings freedom. He has the power to help you with your feelings of betrayal so that you can walk in obedience to Him.

Let’s take a look together at what His Word says.

Are you hurting today?
 
Has someone broken your heart or wounded you? 

The Lord cares and he loves you so much. Do not turn to the world’s ways as a band-aid to your pain.  Turn to the Lord. Fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  What we see is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.

You are not alone. 
The Lord is near.
Keep walking with the King!
