When someone has betrayed you and has broken a solemn trust, it's very hard to get over.
It can also work the other way, how do you get over betraying someone, how do you deal with yourself?
Let me start with a confession. There was a time in my life when all that I had done for 16 years fell apart. The ministry and work I had done was all taken away and I was on my own with a wife, 3 young children and my In-laws to take care of. I definitely felt betrayed by God and I told Him so.
Now most people are shocked when they hear that and say, "Oh, I could never talk to God like that". Well, if you have ever read any thing I have written, you know the one thing I ask you to do is think!
So think about it, if I am "thinking" that God betrayed me He already knows it, so me saying it is no worse. But somehow people want to clean up their talk when speaking to God and be all respectful when in their heart they are mad and upset.
Yes, I "felt" betrayed by God and I told Him, that doesn't mean it was true, but that's the way I felt. I had hit a wall and it looked as though there was no way out. I was mad, upset and had to have someone to blame.
There was another time when my wife got cancer and once again I felt betrayed by God. These were very difficult times for me and I thought God had let me down.
Later searching for more answers I started to wonder if I had betrayed God, that's what everyone wanted to tell me. People who didn't like my thoughts on God wanting me to prosper and didn't like what I was saying about the Laws God put in creation for us to use, these people accused me of betraying God.
Now, I had to work though all that and I did. God was kind enough to put up with my struggle so I could figure it out. But so many people are still mad at God for one thing or another or afraid of God because of something they have or have not done-this is where I come in.
I want to show you that God has not betrayed anyone and that our desire to prosper and live abundantly in no way betrays our life with Him. Maybe this isn't an issue with you and if so that's great, but I know a lot people still holding a grudge either openly or secretly about past events. I want to help heal that and open doors for everyone to enjoy the life God has given us.
I want to show you that it is the goodness of God that brings people to Him and that God really does want to do all that He can to help us success and have a wonderful life.
Romans 2:4 says that it is the goodness of God that leads men to repentence. Repentence means "a change of heart". God is not a fire escape from hell and He doesn't want us to come to Him out of fear.
God is love and it is His goodness and love that draws us to Him. He will never betray us, even if that's how it feels, God would not do that. So focus on His goodness and love in your life and whatever happened will fade away.

More religious articles: - Reluctance and Inadequacy in Coming before God (Stephen Lau)
To come before God, man must see his own inadequacy. Man's reluctance to come before God is humanly natural due to his sinful nature. But man can turn this inadequacy into positive salvation if he can be humble and obedient, as illustrated by Isaiah, Paul, and Peter -- they all demonstrated reluctance to come before God, but their inadequacy was essentially obedience. - God Requires Our Total Surrender (Rafael Malthus)
Learn what it means to loose your life to God and find the life you were created to live. - The History of Mont St. Michel (Bob and Penny Lord)
Mont St. Michel, was once a Shrine to Belen, the Celtic god of Light. It later became a Shrine to the Roman Mercury. It did not become a Christian place of worship until the 5th century, when it was occupied by hermits from the other side of the channel (somewhere in the British Isles, as it is now known, probably from Ireland). - Prophecy, Revival & Discernment (Phillip Ross)
We have a Romantic understanding of revival, as if it is a sweet and glorious time -- like a family reunion or picnic. But real revival, real reformation is traumatic. It divides as well as unites. - To Have Life More Abundantly (Scott F Paradis)
What we really desire more than anything is to have life and have it abundantly. To recognize the promise and fulfill the potential of life we must live by faith. A power greater than self is guiding us home. - Get Your House Organized for Passover (Alicia Rockmore and Sarah Welch)
March 29, 2010 marks the beginning of Passover. If you are Jewish, it is week when family and community come together to celebrate the Exodus. The hallmark of this observance is the removal of all leaven from the home, which commemorates the fact that the Jews leaving Egypt were in a hurry, and did not have time to let their bread rise. It is also a symbolic way to remove the "puffiness," or arrogance and pride, from the soul. - Ruth Was An Illegal Immigrant, So Does That Make Boaz A Villain? (Aaron Taylor)
Every once in a while I get an "aha" moment and I can't turn my mind off, thus preventing me from a good night's sleep. Last night's "aha" moment came as I was reflecting on the issue of comprehensive immigration reform. - The Price Has Already Been Paid (Michael A. Verdicchio)
Too many Christians are trying very hard to become righteous in God's eyes. Many do penance to try and pay for their sins, while the Bible declares that Jesus Christ paid the price for all sins. If he paid the price for all sins, then what price is there left to pay? - What is a Memorial Card? (Tony Goold)
A memorial card is a card of remembrance. It is always produced by the family and friends of the deceased. The card is produced usually stating the date of birth, date of death and where the deceased lived. A memorial card can either be religious or not but the main idea of the card usually has two reasons for being produced, It helps the bereavement process and it also creates a card that remembers the person who died. - Is This All There Is? (Scott F Paradis)
Life is so much more than what we experience through our senses. Life is so much more than what we know. Only by moving beyond what we know with certainty do we expose new opportunities. By taking risks and stepping out on faith we make new discoveries and come to live life more fully
