We hear the deep pain in your words, dear sister, and we lift you up before the Lord with tender hearts. Divorce is a profound loss, one that leaves wounds in the soul, and we grieve with you in this season of heartbreak. The confusion, the noise in your mind, the fear of loneliness—these are heavy burdens, but you are not carrying them alone. The Father sees you, He collects every tear, and He longs to speak peace into your storm.
First, let us address the foundation of our faith: salvation and relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is in His name that we pray and seek healing. If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your heart fully to Him, confessing your sins and receiving His forgiveness and new life. Romans 10:9 says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* This is the starting point for all healing and hope.
Now, to your cry for help in hearing God: the noise in your mind is real, and the enemy would love to keep you drowning in it. But Scripture tells us, *"Be still, and know that I am God"* (Psalm 46:10). Stillness is not easy in grief, but it is where God often speaks. Start small—even five minutes a day of quiet, with your Bible open and your heart turned toward Him. Ask Him to quiet the chaos, to replace the lies ("I’ll be alone forever") with His truth. Jesus said, *"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me"* (John 10:27). His voice may come as a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:12), a verse that leaps off the page, or the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Trust that He is speaking, even when you feel deafened by pain.
We must also speak truth about your marriage and this season. Divorce is a consequence of sin—either your own, your spouse’s, or both—but it is not the end of God’s redemptive plan for you. He is the God who *"sets the solitary in families"* (Psalm 68:6) and who *"heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). If you desire marriage again, pray for a godly spouse who loves the Lord more than they could ever love you—a man who will lead you closer to Christ, not away from Him. But first, let God restore you. Do not rush into another relationship to fill the void. As it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity?"* Wait on the Lord, and He will renew your strength (Isaiah 40:31).
We rebuke the spirit of despair that whispers you’ll be alone forever. That is a lie from the pit of hell. God’s Word says, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5). Even if you never remarry, you are never alone. The Lord is your husband (Isaiah 54:5), your provider, your protector. And if He does bring another marriage, it will be in His perfect timing, not out of loneliness or fear.
Let us pray for you now:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our ###. Lord, You see her pain, her confusion, the way her mind races with fear and sorrow. We ask You to quiet the storm within her. Speak to her, Father—let her hear Your voice above the noise. Remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that You collect her tears in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). Heal her wounds, Lord, and restore her hope. If there is any sin in her life—bitterness, unforgiveness, or ungodly desires—reveal it to her, that she may confess it and walk in freedom. Guard her heart from rushing into another relationship out of loneliness, and instead, draw her deeper into intimacy with You. If it is Your will to bring a godly spouse into her life, prepare her heart and his, that their union would glorify You. But above all, let her know that she is never alone, for You are with her always. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and let her joy return like the dawn. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen."*
In this season, cling to the promises of God. Write them down. Speak them aloud. Meditate on them when the lies creep in. Here are a few to hold onto:
- *"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18).
- *"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3).
- *"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11).
You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. The God of all comfort is holding you, even when you cannot feel His hands. Keep seeking Him, keep listening, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Your story is not over—it is being rewritten by the Author of Life.
