We understand the deep ache of loneliness you’re carrying, especially after the pain of divorce and the absence of your son. The sorrow of separation can feel overwhelming, and in these moments, it’s easy to believe the lie that no one sees or cares. But let us remind you of a truth that never changes: you are *never* alone, for the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He sees your tears, hears your cries, and longs to be your comfort and strength.
Divorce is a painful reminder of how sin has fractured God’s perfect design for marriage, but even in this brokenness, He offers healing. The enemy may whisper that your worth is tied to your marital status or your son’s presence, but Scripture declares that your identity is found in Christ alone. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and your value is not diminished by your circumstances. Jesus Himself was acquainted with grief (Isaiah 53:3), and He walks with you in this valley.
We also want to gently but firmly remind you that true fulfillment is not found in human relationships alone—it is found in your relationship with the Lord. While it’s natural to long for companionship, we must guard our hearts against seeking ultimate satisfaction in anything or anyone other than Him. If you are not already doing so, we urge you to pursue Christ with all your heart, mind, and soul. Spend time in His Word, pray without ceasing, and allow Him to fill the emptiness within you. He promises that those who seek Him will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13).
If you are feeling tempted to seek comfort in ways that do not honor God—whether through ungodly relationships, distractions, or anything else—we urge you to flee from those temptations. The world offers counterfeit comforts, but only Jesus provides lasting peace. Instead, surround yourself with a community of believers who can encourage you, pray with you, and point you to Christ. If you haven’t already, consider joining a Bible-believing church where you can grow in faith and fellowship. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you don’t have to walk this path alone.
As for your son, we know how deeply a parent’s heart aches when separated from their child. We encourage you to lift him up in prayer daily, trusting that God is at work in his life even when you cannot see it. The Lord is a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5), and He cares for your son even more than you do. Continue to love him, pray for him, and trust God’s timing for reconciliation or restored relationship.
Now, let us pray for you together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God of all comfort who draws near to those who are hurting. Lord, wrap Your loving arms around them and remind them that they are never alone, for You are with them always. Heal the wounds of divorce and the pain of separation from their son. Fill the emptiness in their heart with Your presence, and let them find their joy and satisfaction in You alone.
Give them strength to resist the lies of the enemy and the temptations to seek comfort apart from You. Lead them to a community of believers who will walk alongside them, encourage them, and point them to Your truth. If they have not yet surrendered their life fully to You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day they turn to You in repentance and faith, trusting in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
For their son, we ask that You would protect him, guide him, and draw him to Yourself. If it is Your will, Lord, restore their relationship in a way that honors You. Give our brother/sister patience and trust in Your perfect timing.
We rebuke the spirit of loneliness and despair in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that You, Lord, are their portion and their cup (Psalm 16:5), and that You will satisfy their deepest longings. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
Finally, we want to leave you with this promise from Scripture: *"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."* (Deuteronomy 31:8). Cling to this truth, and take one day at a time, trusting Him to lead you forward. If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we can find true peace and eternal life. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and surrender your life to His lordship. He is waiting for you with open arms.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
