Does anyone have any good bible verses about being betrayed or going through hard times?

Question

I have recently been betrayed by some very close friends of mine. Do you know any bible verses realting to that or any about going through hardships?

Answer 1

I am sorry that you are going through a hard time. Remember, no matter what people on earth do to you, the love of God is still there. Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." You are a child of God. No matter what happens, you are loved!!! Nothing can change that.

Remember this, Judas was a close friend of Christ. He was a disciple. He followed Christ around and spoke with him as a brother. He betrayed him in one of the most awful ways possible. Even Christ knows how it feels to be hurt by a friend. Talk to him about it. Yell, scream, cry. God can take your emotions. He is more powerful than your emotions.

Again, I'm sorry this happened to you. If you need someone to talk to, please, email me. I'll be happy to talk with you or atleast pray with you. My email is in my profile on here.

Answer 4

Gosh, there are tons. a lot of the Pslams written by David were written while Saul was after him.
The Book of Job is all about hard times.
Psalm 3
Psalm 5
Psalm 7
Psalm 25
Psalm 55
Psalm 57

Answer 5

The first thing I thought of is Psalm 22. It is a prophecy of Jesus being betrayed by one of his best friends. (Judas) Also see Hebrews ch 13- II Peter ch 5- The story of Jacob in Genesis 36-46 or so is excellent. (I may be off some I'm taking from memory to save time)
The main thing is to turn your heart to God. He wants to share in your sorrows and build an intimate relationship with you. Your friends are having problems so there taking it out on you. It happens- use it to pray for them and seek God for the proper attitude for yourself and those around you. Hope that helps!

Bad day support:
Mat 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Mat 6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Mat 6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
Mat 6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
Mat 6:29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
Mat 6:32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
Mat 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Mat 6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Answer 7

If God be on our side, who can ever be against us? -Romans 8-31.
God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Answer 8

Psalm 18:1-.6
- "I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The lord is my rock, my fortress and
my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I
take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the Lord, who is worthy of
praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
The cords of death entangled me;
the torrents of destruction
overwhelmed me.
The cord of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears".

Romans 8:28-" All things work together for good for those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose".

Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.

Stand still and watch the deliverance of the Lord.

Revenge is mine, I will repay.

Peace out.

salms 41:9
Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me

Answer 10

It is comforting to know that with God, all trials and tribulations have a divine purpose. We are never alone. He told His disciples that they would be scattered, leaving Him alone, and yet "I am not alone, because the Father is with me. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. "In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world." (John 16:32, 33)



"...I will never leave you, nor forsake you; therefore I can boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear what man can do to me" (Hebrews 13:5b,6). Trials develop godly character. "...we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us...



Jesus Christ set the perfect example. "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:3-5) These verses point out aspects of His divine purpose for both Jesus Christ's trials and tribulations, and ours. Persevering proves our faith. "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13).



"In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." The true believer should accept trials and tribulations because "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for Gods own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 1:6, 7, 2:9). "If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you....."if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God" (1 Peter 4:14, 16).



At the same time, we must be careful never to make excuses for our "trials and tribulations" if they are a result of our own wrong doing. "By no means let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler" (1 Peter 4:15).



Trials and tribulations come with both a purpose and a reward. "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him" (James 1:2-4,12).



We have the victory. "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ." I hope that these verses will encourage you to see that although we are in a spiritual battle, Satan has no authority over the believer in Christ, unless he/she chooses to yield to him. God has given us His Word to guide us, His Holy Spirit to enable us, and the privilege of coming to Him anywhere, at any time, to pray about anything! Go for it!
