Psalm 55 • When a close friend hurts you badly

[@DeeloGoodquest]

In the past 6 months I was betrayed 4 times by my closest confidants. One being my wife who was spiritually attacked so terribly that she was convinced I was cheating. I haven't cheated on a partner since I was 17. Im 35 now. Then my best friend betrayed me by telling a secret from over 5 years ago. I bought my first investment property and the 2and month an old friend came to me with a pregnant wife asking for money. I gave him a job and let him stay in my fully furnished Airbnb in Dallas. After they had the baby, they became addicts and squatted for 6 months costing me my entire savings. I was broken. Then I helped a family and fomorrow I have to sue them for fraud. Within 6 months, I am out 50k but worse. My soul was broken. This Psalm opened to me today and now I GET IT. and I laugh at every hangup. FEAR IS GONE

[@natalienelson8681]

Same!

[@Goggans]

Whew😢 I had to listen to this twice & chew slowly. Thank you Pastor Paul

[@JesusBelieverDiane]

I think once I realized I had no control over my flesh it just occurred to me that it’s ok to ask God to show me how to forgive and love because I know without God I am incapable. This insight was a huge spiritual break through for me

[@sasharowe8483]

Amen

[@lalmalsawmizomi3997]

I listened to Psalm 55 and I thought what situation would bring such an agonizing prayer. But, this prayer is really true, I have come across such pain recently. Being abandoned and conspired against by some people whom I thought would fight tooth and nail for my welfare. The hurt- indescribable....! I feel like I have to learn to talk to God honestly with a humble heart.

[@natalienelson8681]

Betrayal is horrendous. I pray you’re thriving in Him.

[@nardosemmanuel6088]

God is a healer of a hurt heart ❤️

[@tribesman1594]

Excellent. Thank you. The five points you highlight deserve serious consideration, meditation and action. Wonderful.

[@Angie-AFB]

I honestly had no idea that for the most part, you don't go to people with your problems, I never realized that. I thought to myself, then what is the purpose of family and friends if you can't come to them for help with a burden? According to this study mostly you just go to God for help, it's difficult to find the balance in having relationships with people and knowing what to share and what not. I still do not have it figured out, but I trust the Lord will help me with this question in His timing. This study has helped me clarify this question for myself more, thank you!

[@freespirit7450]

A lot people just don't care about others. I realize my parents never cared for me ever since I was a child only God truly cares for me. Even some preachers I try to trust let me down.

[@natalienelson8681]

I just realized I feel the same.

[@lennoxcooper7782]

I fell asleep during those videos of prayers, waking up to this sermon, discovering that this is the perfect medicine to help me. Thank you. Praise God, who knows all. I'll come back later with the result of the battle ......

[@natalienelson8681]

[@Salay3]

Thank you pastor. Just simply talk to God. Don’t let your tongue control your feelings but allow faith to control your tongue. God will never permit the righteous to be shaken.

[@zonaeastham5619]

One day our eye and heart will be with Jesus and pray we just learn to help and teach about JESUS. He loves us. When natural disasters happen we come together. We must come together and turn to Jesus for help in this world in USA.

[@suehorley6059]

[@ephhalston8623]

I’ve learned we are all human, we are all capable of being ugly.. I know God uses circumstance to get people’s attention. Don’t get in the way and help them..prayer is powerful

[@Hello-we9lf]

Jesus son of David have mercy on me and my household Lord!! Help Lord save, deliver, heal, restore, and protect us from known and unknown unjust enemies!

Be exalted in every situation and in every area of our lifes forgive us and save us for the glory of your great name!! In Jesus name I pray! Amen

[@pennywinstanley]

When a family hurts you badly and you just don’t want to be with them, I forgive as Jesus says we must, but I am still hurt… and I am a born again Christian.

Truth……….forgiveness is hurting nobody but one self. I actually rewinded this one a couple of times. Thanks nothing like the Truth

[@chaziakayi4142]

Wow thank you so much I needed this. Lord thank you.

[@The1badgolfer]

one more Paul, do not seek revenge against those who trouble you. Romans 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

[@Bigmouth660]

Amen

[@bonnieburgess-wiedeman5531]

Thanks, I need to hear this sermon.

[@jerusalemtegbaru5882]

Yes. We learn a lot about what David is going through. It is hurtful! Agonizing! Some if us experiment this kind of painful situation . We also can learn how to turn to God for help, fir comfort, understanding.,. Only way is to seek God’s face to give us.... it is painful !!!! Where do we find the remedy? From our God Almighty. I love The Psalmist. I learn a lot from him. No matter what, he always turn to God...

[@natalienelson8681]

My agony last night was such that I could not get my mind straight to pray or find peace. I cried our a simple, “Help me.” And he did.

[@swani7772]

I feel forgiveness plays a very important part of my life. Although I see it, and know that holds the key to my past scars 😢 but I don’t understand the process. But by what the pastor speaks on about speaking Grace about others I may not like or praying for them, I think can be a good practice to start with. I never had resentment at my sister but now that I see what she has done to bring my friends and family against me. I am now angry. I always thought I was messed up and did everything I could to be better until I realized it was never enough. Now I have so much anger at the evil she has put me through. She tried so hard to destroy me 😢

[@gooddaysahead]

The people who hurt me were either into cults or false doctrine so it was easy to forgive. Though I struggle with it for many years as it came as a trauma and shock to me and was greatly demoralized with their acts as I was quite young and alone. From India

So is grumbling to God ok to do out loud so others can hear? I ask this because my sisters and I take care of my elderly mother who does this constantly. Most of the things that she tells God is very negative and it bothers us to hear it.

[@gaugesharp6406]

Are there different types of complaints? I was told you don't complain because of what is in Old Testament. Their complaining got them bit by snakes or swallowed up by the ground.

[@CalvaryChapelOntario]

Hi there. Feel free to email Pastor Paul directly using the address: [e-mail]

[@TheHelenhunter]

In this case it means to pour out your heart before God, to talk to Him about your pain, your sorrow, to bring it to His feet, whereas the Israelites were murmuring and complaining AGAINST God Himself.

[@yasminpanasjuk682]

They complained because they didn't trust that God could give them water or food, even though He already has multiple times before. Their complaints were "why have you brought us out of Egypt, we would rather be in Egypt right now", saying they would rather die in their sin than trusting the Lord to bring them to the Land of milk and honey. The OT is showing in the flesh what is happening in the spirit. If you love your sin more than the Lord then you're drinking of the cup of the snake, not of the Lord. But God made a way out of those snakes, by dying on the cross. Moses held up the snake on a stick, just like Jesus became our sin (snake=sin) on the cross.

[@katerider8217]

Pastor Paul, do you think it was wrong for David to pray for his enemies to be destroyed?

[@lthompson601]

Yes, he did ask that but he always changed his hearts posture at the end of each psalm.
