Walking Through Divorce

Life can be full of disappointments and difficulties. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your divorce, there are likely hurts that linger. Christ wants to bring you healing and hope.

Tell Jesus How You Feel

Revealing your feeling is the beginning of healing. God gave us our emotions, so He understands their impact even more than we do! Express your true emotions to Him and allow God’s Word to instruct your heart and empower you to move towards healing.

Set Healthy Boundaries

Learning to set healthy boundaries will allow you to define clear roles in your relationships. When we establish physical, emotional, and communication boundaries, we discover the freedom to work on ourselves and the faith to trust God with everyone and everything else.

Choose to Forgive

Forgiveness plays a huge role in the recovery process. It begins by realizing that God has forgiven our sin. Once we have received God’s grace and forgiveness, then we are positioned to forgive ourselves and others. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Commit to Recovery

Recovery takes time. Healing is a process, not an event. It is important to recognize that the death of a marriage is a loss that must be grieved.

Develop a Biblical View of Marriage

As a follower of Christ, the Bible is our sole source for truth. Divorce is not God’s plan for marriage, but it is also not the unforgivable sin. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” (Jeremiah 29:11)
