Healing From Betrayal | Guided Prayers

Do things cut as deeply as betrayal?

It's one thing to expect opposition for an enemy, but it's another thing entirely to be wounded by someone you trusted.

Betrayal can leave you unsettled.

It can make you question your instincts, your openness, even your willingness to trust again.

Psalm 55 gives language to this kind of pain.

David writes, if an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it.

But it is you, a man like myself, my companion, my close friend.

Scripture does not rush past this pain.

It makes space for it.

And instead of withdrawing from God, David brings his wounded heart directly to him.

And today, we're going to practice the same.

Let's start by thinking God that He is faithful, even when people let us down.

Praise Him that His love does not shift or turn away.

Thank you for being faithful, Amen.
