20-Feeling Betrayed? Jesus Understands Your Pain

Have you ever felt betrayed or rejected by people you thought were friends? Jesus did, too. He invested three years of time into His disciples’ lives, teaching them, encouraging them, showing them God and His power, healing the sick. But in His greatest agony, His disciples bailed.  Judas betrayed Him, disciples scattered, Peter denied Him. All but John abandoned Him, when He hung on the cross. He felt alone and isolated. How can we cope with betrayal? Check out this week’s episode, 20-Feeling betrayed? Jesus Understands Your Pain.
Next Steps

Bible Verses/References for depression and healing used in this podcast:
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. KJV
Three Ways Prince of Peace Calms the Chaos
Presence
Power
Prayer
1. Presence
     -Rachel Wojo, Desperate Prayers, Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life’s Darkest Moments, “When we can’t see a solution is on its way, our minds spin with confusion. We plead with God, where’s my miracle?” We cry out, pleading for answers to our pain. “Amid the words and groans of anguish, I discovered that frenzied desperation could be transformed into dependent faith.”
    -Isaiah 41;10: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
2. Power
    -Storm in Bible Mark 4: 35-41
    -Quote by Leslie Gould, “Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child.” https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/407329
    -John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. NIV
3. Prayer
    -Jesus prays for us: John 17: 9, 11 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours… Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 
   -Holy Spirit Intercedes for us, when we don’t know how to pray Romans 8:26,27
 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Steps for Healing with the Prince of Peace:
Come to Him with Anxiety and Fear. Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Allow him to minister to You. He is your peace. Philippians 4:7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
Trust Him, to help you and calm you through storms and trauma of Life.

13-Feeling Shame from Childhood Trauma? Two Ways Everlasting Father Lavishes His Love to Heal Us

Have you ever felt anxiety or shame from childhood trauma? Or feared God like He was a judge who would strike you down if you messed up?

It’s taken me decades to understand that God is more like a dad, a Father who loves me. He calls me beloved. And He calls you beloved, too. He loves you unconditionally, embracing you with grace and helping to heal trauma.
