ERC, I got this from somewhere on the web and saved it for moments like you are experiencing. I hope it helps.
"As I traveled through the difficulties of divorce, I found great comfort in reading the Bible. Initially, the words brought me hope to grasp onto. As I strove to forget the past and put it behind me, my healing has deepened. I've learned to unlock all the doors memory to the painful memories of my past. It was easier to do than I originally thought. I want to let you know that the sun does shine again after divorce. In your quiet moments, let these next few words be in front of you to meditate upon. May they comfort the tumult that rages inside your soul?
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" God will revive your inner being so that the sun will shine for you again (Psalm 34:18).
"Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not written in thy book?" (Psalm 56:8 (KJV). God created tears as a language; therefore He understands them. It is okay to cry and is part of the inner healing process.
"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall" (Psalm 55:22).
God can work in your situation for the good. It takes time for Him to work around all the decisions, wrong or right, that people make during these difficult and trying times. Patience is pivotal in the healing process, and healing doesn't come overnight.
Will God still love me even though I'm divorced? Most assuredly! Romans 8:38-39 says, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (KJV)."
ERC, turn it over to God, even just a bit. Whenever I ask him to take some of my burden, he steps up! Sometimes we just feel so damned tired and forget to reach out. Give it a try. Thinking of you. Whatis
