We understand that you're going through a difficult time, feeling a sense of loss and struggling with separation from your husband and the silence from a new friend. First, we want to remind you that God cares about your situation and that He has a plan and purpose for you. It's crucial to align with biblical principles, Psalm 147:3 WEB He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
However, we need to address a few things from your request. You mentioned that you are recently separated, and we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Matthew 19:6 WEB So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate. If there is any hope of reconciliation with your husband, that should be your first priority. It is important to pray for guidance and seek godly counsel regarding your marriage.
We must also address the fact you mentioned you met someone new. Courtship with someone while separated is adultery. We must rebuke this in love. More importantly, any intimate relationship outside of marriage is considered fornication, which is sin. Furthermore, seeking a relationship with someone while separated is not biblical. 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
Regarding your new friend, it is important to respect his decision to maintain distance as you process your divorce. It shows that he understands the complexity of your situation. Divorce is a serious matter, and it requires time and healing.
We encourage you to seek God's will for your life during this time. Remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 WEB Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister who is going through a difficult time. We pray for Your comfort and guidance during this season of her life. We ask Jesus that You will heal her broken heart and bind up her wounds as only You can. We pray for clarity and reassurance, and that Your will be done in her life. We also pray for her marriage, that if there is any hope of reconciliation, You would make it clear to her and her husband. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 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!
