Being let down hurts, most especially when it's by the people we love. Being abandoned, rejected and betrayed by your spouse, family and close friends is something that nobody in this world would want to experience ever in their entire life. Sadly, we all experience this one way or another.
The Bible says that our God is the "God of all comfort" (see 2 Corinthians 1:3-4). He is the God who sees all the pain and suffering we go through before it happens, while it happens, and after it happens. He is the same God who knows how you feel and what you are thinking while you are facing unpleasant situations and circumstances that you would've wished that you were spared of.
Through it all, He is the same God who walks with you through your pain, and desires to lavish His love and comfort on you so that you could rise up and comfort others with the comfort that you received from Him. Our God is a loving and compassionate God who decided to mingle with mortal men in Christ Jesus, so that He could fully and effectively show us His loving and forgiving nature, and save us from eternal suffering (see John 3:16; Jn 14:8-10; 2 Cor. 5:18-20).
Do you need comfort because those you love have let you down? Here are 5 Bible verses that you can read and meditate on to receive the comfort that you need from God.

There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.""
