Growing Spiritually After Divorce

“If you are a person of faith, divorce is an open wound on our soul struggling to scab over the guilt, the shame, the shock of being one of them – the people who quit.” At a time when one’s life is in upheaval, it’s only natural to question God’s part in it. It’s also an opportunity to recognize that in the midst of this change, God has not changed. In this CareNote, author Victoria Ryan explains how one ending a relationship with a spouse is in the perfect position to grow and strengthen his or her relationship with God. Sections include: Believe God wants you, Start where you are, Be thankful, Practice forgiveness, and Try new forms of prayer.
