Betrayal.....
"James 4:11 says – “Brothers, do not slander one another.” As tempting as it is, don't run about trying to tell your side of the story. The more you tell it; the more it becomes a subject of gossip. I have learned to keep things to oneself regarding betrayal, as much as possible. You might simply want to say something, if asked, like the following, "That is simply not true, it's a falsehood and God is going to handle it and I don't care to discuss it."
"Then leave it at the foot of the cross, as hard as it is. It takes crucifying the flesh. We so want the truth to be known. Yet I have found the more you discuss the problem, the longer it lingers. It's best to just "let it go" The bible says; Proverbs 15:1 – “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
"Dear God,
In this moment, I let go of all thoughts and concerns.
When I let go, I am able to receive.
When my hands are formed into tight fists, I cannot open my hands to receive anything.
When I hang onto tight control,
When I close off my heart and my spirit,
I cannot receive Your blessings for me.
I let go to receive Your blessings.
Letting go in this moment, I receive Your loving presence around me and within me.
Help me to let go when I am feeling overwhelmed, so that I may receive Your peace.
Help me to let go when I feel fear so that in fear’s place I may receive love and courage.
I let go of problems and challenges in order to receive Your guidance and clarity.
I let go and trust You.
I will not fall.
You will catch me.
I let go and trust in the still, small voice inside of me.
Help me not to struggle but to surrender my struggle to You.
I gladly receive this gift of letting go and letting you lead me and guide me."
In Jesus name. Amen
