You are not defenseless.

¹ I love you, LORD, my strength.

² The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:1-2

Life isn't fair and that's OK. People will hurt and disappoint you. People will betray you. They may misunderstand you or they may twist something you said or did in an effort to hurt you. People may attack you with malicious intent or may wound you because of carelessness (never realizing the hurt they inflicted). The truth is that we have all been on both sides. We've been the offender and we've been the one to suffer. When you're hurt remember this: God loves you. He alone is your defender, don't try to help Him out - He's got it under control. If you are in Him, He is your stronghold. He uses even our suffering to accomplish His purpose. Not only does He love you - He loves the one who wronged you.
