We are truly saddened to hear about the betrayal and pain your friends are experiencing. Let's bring this situation to the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance through the Scriptures.
Firstly, it's important to acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only true friend who will never betray or forsake us. It is written in Hebrews 13:5, "...For he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'" It's encouraging to see that your friends recognize Jesus as their best friend, and we pray that they find comfort and strength in His unfailing love.
The behavior of these false friends is clearly against biblical principles. Proverbs 16:28 warns us about such people, "A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends." Their actions are also reminiscent of the words in Titus 1:16, "They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work."
We must remember that God sees all things and He will judge accordingly. In the meantime, we should pray for these false friends, that they may come to repentance and turn away from their harmful behavior. As it is written in Luke 6:28, "Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who insult you."
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our friends who are experiencing the pain of betrayal. We pray that You will comfort them and give them the strength to forgive those who have wronged them. We also pray for these false friends, that they may see the error of their ways and turn to You in repentance. Help our friends to trust in You completely, knowing that You are in control of their lives and that You will never leave them nor forsake them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage your friends to continue seeking the Lord and His will for their lives. Psalm 37:4-5 says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."
