I recently got a divorce back in April. I feel it has scared me as far as marriage goes, or any kind of commitment really. I'm trying to cope and find a way to heal and nothing seems to be working. I don't have anyone really I can talk to about this. All I'm asking for are prayers. If anyone out there has any advice or guidance they can give me, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you..

I am sorry to hear about your problem, I will pray for you. If you are willing to give us some information it would be a lot easier for all of us to help. As a minister, it's real hard to help someone without adequate information. How long were you married, do you have children, do you have a job, such things can be of great help. Then what is your side of the story? Now, we can work with you from this point. Moe

He and I were married for a year and 4 months. We did not have any kids, which I think is a blessing. We had split once in July, got back together in August when we decided to work things out. I was in school for a semester in my home state (he lived in New Mexico because of the Air Force) so I didn't move back in with him until December, when the semester was over. I thought everything was going great, then in February, just before we went on a vacation with my family to see our nephew for the first time, we got into a fight where he informed me that he had been thinking about getting a divorce, then on Valentine's day while on vacation with family in fl, he walked out and caught a plane from fl to new mexico. two months later, our divorce was final....

My friend it took me 5 years from 12 years of marriage no divorce but seperated, I have to go through . this valley alone base on the word of GOD " THOUGH I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil" though you slay me because I sin and continue to do this evil, I fear no evil, "your staff and your rod they comfort me" I knew I have to go through the deepest and the most darkest valley of my life ever and totally naked, absolutely honest, DAVID didn't say if, or when, or how, with human ability, with his strength, he knew he had to go through it in order to walk as man after Gods own heart. I knew in heart there is only one person that can love me through all the pains, rejection, hopelessness, loneliness, jealousy, anger, low selfesteem, confusion and restlessness that person is JESUS O beautiful JESUS, wonderful Saviour my ROSE of Sharon. So I set my heart on the author and the perfect of my faith, I chase Him, I went after the ONE my soul longs for, what ever it will take, how ever, I will find my JESUS the lover of my soul, everything I gave it up, all things just to find HIM. One step at a time, everything begins to fall away, I don't have to struggle anymore, every chambers, every closet, every secrete just fell off, I don't need anyone to lay hand on me, I just needed Jesus alone, all alone with me, for me and in me. I have to change my plans, daily and monthly, 4am-6am compulsory Bible study and prayer, I was planted in a good church never miss a service, I took every message as though God was speaking to me, and I start living it, applying it in my week. I'm a musician so I take time out and go up the hills, walk the beach, tramping with my guitar and worship the Lord. My conduct have to change, my attitude have to be check out and so are behaviour. But I never ever tell anyone anything until I tell the lover of my life all things then He directs, He leads, He convicts and everything just fell off.
NOW HALLELUIA I could imagine how you feel right now and let me promise you this, JESUS, JESUS AND JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELLY CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE AGAIN, go away and cry out to HIM ALONE. There is none like JESUS, there is none compare to JESUS. I am standing with you in all my prayers your name will ever an incense before the throne of grace. AMEN PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM.

My heart goes out to you...
Their are a few verses that come to mind...
This life is only temporary...focus on Jesus...
And God will take care of the rest.

2 Corithians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

1 Peter 4:3
You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Psalms37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I feel for you. I understand. My husband shocked me with the threat of divorce many times before he finally left. While we're not completely divorced, it's in the works. The lord is our source. He is your protector. He defines you. He loves you. He is your husband. It weird to think that but it is an essential truth.
You haven't lost it. Take a break. Ask the Lord for strength not to pursue a man even passively. This is REALLY hard, but necessary. You must establish yourself again... Est yourself in Christ.

hello i've been in your shoes before so i know how hard it is to want to be in a relationship after being hurt, i will pray for you that God will give you strength. you need to be strong and independent in order to be able to move on. that was something i had to learn. i had to learn to trust in Jesus and to leave my problems in his hands. take this time to let your heart heal and when the time is right for you to date again God will give you a sign. God Bless you

It sounds like you were saved from many years of disappointment. I really do not like hearing about anyone getting a divorce, I do not know what grounds that it was on, however, you were blessed by not having any children. You are very young and I believe that the Lord has given you a second chance. Focus on tomorrow and the future and I bet things will turn out good for you...I'll keep you on my prayer list and if you have any questions, please let me know. Cheers
