The Path to Healing After Divorce: Finding God's Will

Healing after divorce is a complex and challenging process, but with God's help, it is possible to find wholeness and move forward. The first step is to acknowledge that God is able to heal and transform any situation, including a marriage that has been torn apart by divorce. As the Bible says, "I will heal their way of life and love them so fiercely that they will no longer be hurt" (Jeremiah 30:17). This promise is a reminder that God's power to heal and restore is greater than any hurt or wound.

The process of healing after divorce requires a commitment to prayer and seeking God's will for your life and marriage. This means asking God to give you a new perspective on your situation, to forgive you and your ex-spouse, and to bring healing and restoration to your heart and marriage. It also means being willing to work through the hurt and pain of the past, and to seek help and support from others, such as a therapist or counselor, if needed. As the Bible says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26). This promise is a reminder that God is able to give us a new heart and a new perspective, and to bring healing and restoration to our lives.

Ultimately, healing after divorce requires a surrender to God's will and a willingness to trust in His power and sovereignty. As the Bible says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). This promise is a reminder that God is always working for our good, even in the midst of difficult and painful circumstances. By trusting in God's sovereignty and power, we can find healing and wholeness, even after divorce. As the Bible says, "He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you may take refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler" (Psalm 91:4). This promise is a reminder that God is always with us, and that He will cover us and protect us, even in the midst of difficult and painful circumstances. Ask God to give you a new heart and a new spirit, and to bring healing and restoration to your heart and marriage. Pray for your spouse to be healed and to live a long and healthy life, and to be assured that none of the above is God's will for your marriage. His will is to break down all these barriers and lift you out of that pit. He can heal the wounds and put love back in your heart. Nothing and no one else can.
