I have been betrayed

A wound from someone close has its own pain. Here is room to name the truth, seek justice and set safe boundaries without turning prayer into revenge.

Read in this order or choose the study that meets you where you are.

Psalm 56: Trust When We Are Afraid

Faith is not always the absence of fear. Sometimes it is what the heart does while fear is still present. Psalm 56 teaches us to trust God without pretending that danger is unreal.

A short prayer

God, guard my dignity and guide me in truth. Give me wisdom to seek help and set safe boundaries. Amen.

One optional step

Write down one present need and one safe boundary. You do not need to share private details publicly to benefit from the study.
