Bottomline: Betrayal doesn’t have to kill belief or belonging.
Intro- stealing JJ’s candy
(The Psalms) teach people to pray, helping them to give voice to the entire experience of being human, and to do it both honestly and throughly.
We tend to think that prayer is what good people do when they are doing their best.
It is not.
Only as we develop raw honesty and detailed thoroughness in our praying do we become whole, truly human in Jesus Christ, who also prayed the Psalms.
-Eugene Peterson
betrayal is the abandonment or violation of trust by someone close to you.
Betrayal only happens in relationships we have given trust to someone.
Betrayal is hard because trust is given and then taken away
Betrayal can be both intentional and somewhat unintentional
For there to be betrayal, there would have to have been trust first.
Suzanne Collins

Saul twices to harm/kill David multiple times
David has multiple oppourtunties to kill Saul and choose not to
Multiple times David could have killed Saul
Betrayal is hard because trust is given and then taken away
Psalm 18,52,53,57
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers
and save me from those who are after my blood.
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire against me
for no offense or sin of mine, LORD.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 You, LORD God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
show no mercy to wicked traitors.

6 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, LORD;
you scoff at all those nations.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield, q
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
God’s favorite prayers are honest prayers
Where is God when we experience betrayal?
How to do we respond to betrayal more like christ?
God is present in the midst of our sorrows but it doesn’t mean He is orchestrating theses things.
Pain in your life does not indict a lack of presence from God
1 Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.
