Today we will be dealing with 25 bible verses about walking away from someone. Sometimes walking away from someone could be the only solution you have. Sometimes, letting someone who you love and cherish could be the last option. When this happens, the pain is unexplainable.

However, through this pain and trauma, the scripture has so many comforting words that will give us the strength and hope we need during that trying time. Walking away from someone or something can be very difficult. Just take, for instance, trying to get away from one addiction or another. It doesn’t come easily. The more you try to walk away from it, the deeper you go into it. So it takes courage and strength to walk away successfully from an addiction.

However, because you are used to that person, you might unconsciously find yourself returning to them. Also, you can feel unexplainable pain and trauma as you walk away from them. That’s why we have compiled a list of 25 bible verses about walking away from someone. These scriptural verses will give you the motivation that you need to walk away from everyone that is not needed in your journey to success.
