HEAL AND MOVE FORWARD

Maybe you’re going through a divorce. Or considering a divorce. Or perhaps you’ve recently been through a divorce and you’re trying to figure out how to heal and move forward.

HEAL AND MOVE FORWARD

Dealing with a divorce

Considering or experiencing a divorce can seem like one of life’s lowest moments. You may feel alone, helpless, upset, hopeless, and uncertain of how to move forward. The Bible describes marriage as two people becoming one. When those two people divorce, it tears them apart from each other— spiritually, relationally, and emotionally. The breaking process of divorce can be compared to life-changing surgery. Painful, significant adjustments are usually needed for healing and recovery to begin. According to American Psychology Association, though 90% of people marry by age 50, 40 to 50% of those marriages end in divorce. Many couples go into marriage intending to spend the rest of their lives with the one they love. However, when life doesn’t work out as planned and they decide to get a divorce, it can be a painful, emotional experience for everyone involved. Yes, divorce hurts. However, there are pathways to healing and restoration—even after divorce.

HEALING JOURNEY

Moving on after a divorce

As you move forward in this healing journey, it is important to take inventory of your actions and decisions. We all can find a place of safety and healing when we go to God in prayer. Ask God for guidance and support as you plan the next steps for your life.

HEAL AND HOPE AGAIN

Similar to the way you would need support following surgery, having a trustworthy person or community of people around you when you face difficult times can be a great encouragement during your recovery and healing journey. There’s a verse in the Bible that says: Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) NLT If you are going through a tough time right now because of a divorce, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
