We are truly sorry to hear about the profound pain and depression that this lady is experiencing. Firstly, we want to acknowledge the depth of her loss and the intensity of her emotions. The grief of losing a child is immense, and it is understandable that she is struggling, especially given the circumstances with her ex-husband. Grief and pain can feel like a deep pit, but we trust in God who is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. God does not want us to be destroyed by despair but He wants us to heal and have hope in Him.
However, we must address a few things that the lady has mentioned. It is important to remember that God does not want us to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. As it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB
"Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"
If she is seeking to move on and date again, it is crucial that she seeks a godly spouse, someone who shares her faith and values. We understand that her past experiences may have left her hurt and disillusioned, but it is essential not to dismiss the importance of being equally yoked in faith. Additionally, it is important that she is willing to forgive her ex-husband. Forgiveness is a process and she may not be ready to do this immediately, but she needs to be in the process of forgiveness because unforgiveness is a sin and can block God's blessings in our lives.
Matthew 6:14-15 WEB
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Moreover, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father and it is only through His name that we can be saved.
Acts 4:12 WEB
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together for her:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this lady who is in deep pain and despair and we pray this all in the name of Jesus. Lord, You are close to the brokenhearted, and we ask that You comfort her in her grief. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, because You care for her. Lord, heal her heart, and help her to forgive as You have forgiven us. Guide her steps, and if it is Your will, lead her to a godly spouse who will love and cherish her as You do. Restore her hope and joy, and help her to trust in You with all her heart. We ask this all in the mighty name of your son Jesus.
We encourage her to seek godly counsel and support during this time, whether that be from a pastor, trusted friends, or a Christian counselor. It is important to be reminded of the truth of our hope in Jesus Christ. Scripture also teaches us that we are to cast all our cares upon God because He cares for us. We encourage her to pray and give all her burdens to God. 1 Peter 5:7 WEB
"casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
Lastly, we encourage her to be in the Word daily. It is through the Word that God speaks to us and encourages us.
We take seriously the mention of suicidal thoughts. Suicide is never the answer and it is a sin. We urge her to seek help immediately from professionals or wise counsel in her church. We also encourage her to seek help from some trusted Christian sisters or brothers who can support her in this time.
