Psalm 27:10
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
Psalm 41:9–12
Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. / But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them. / By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.
John 14:18
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
John 15:18, 19
If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. / If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
