Teen friendships can feel like everything, so when a friend betrays you, spreads rumors, or simply drifts away, the pain is real. It can make you feel alone or even question your worth. But remember, even if friends fail, God never does. He remains a faithful Friend who sticks closer than a brother.
It’s okay to admit that you’re hurt instead of pretending you don’t care. Take that disappointment to God, because He understands rejection—Jesus faced it too. Telling Him how you feel lifts the weight off your heart and helps you see beyond the pain.
Don’t let one friend’s failure close your heart to all friendships. People aren’t perfect, and even good friends can make mistakes. With prayer and discernment, you can forgive, heal, and open up again without becoming bitter. Friendships are part of your growth, but only God defines your purpose.
Self-assessment:
Do I talk to God when I feel betrayed or abandoned by friends?
Have I allowed hurt to make me bitter toward new friendships?
Am I learning to forgive friends while also using wisdom in trust?
Do I still believe God will bring the right people into my life?
