4 Must-Have Attitudes When Betrayed

3. Pray for the Offender

The temptation is to pray…but pray down “fire from heaven to consume them.” Ha, we can’t do that; we must sincerely pray for their well being and future. God honors us when we “pray for those who despitefully use you.”

When you pray for the person(s) who are hell-bent on destroying you, God comes to your side. Don’t worry…be happy!

4. Don’t Get Bitter!

This is paramount! If you allow bitterness and hurt to grow, it will destroy you. Scripture says bitterness is like “rottenness to your bones.” In other words, it eats you away from the inside out. Forgive those who hurt you. Not for their sake but for you own.

The greatest thing you can do is to press forward with joy and passion.
