Lord, help me to trust in your word whenever my family or friends betray me, defraud me, or fail me. Thank you for being my refuge and strength in times of anguish. Strengthen my faith so I may learn to persevere in your truth, even when other people turn away from the truth and return to the world. I return to you, Lord as Peter did and I believe that you have words of eternal life that stabilize my life when I experience disappointment.
