Divorce To Healing: 31 Days Of Healing And WholenessSample

"Shock"

Words will never be able to describe how you are feeling.

“What just happened? How? When? WHY?”

When you first hear those words “I want a divorce” or are blind-sided by papers served to you when you least expect it, no words do it justice. Feelings that you have never experienced before are flooding over you. You can’t even get the words out because… “WHAT JUST HAPPENED?”

At this time, you are filled with every emotion and a million thoughts that race through your mind. It is a time when you need to just stop and gather yourself. Even though you may just want to do something crazy and ask for forgiveness later, don’t do it!! Just stop, drop (to your knees), and roll (to the foot of the cross)!!

No advice at this moment will do you any good until you realize that there are things going on that you cannot control. There are things going on that need to be analyzed from a higher vantage point.

There will come a time when the feelings of shock will be gone and other feelings form. Don’t allow negative feelings to control your actions or reactions. When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the LORD your God and listen to His voice. Deuteronomy 4:30

Right now, the only one who understands what you are feeling and going through, is God. He is the only one who can give you peace for your today and your future.

Prayer
God, I have no idea what is going on, but I choose to trust You. I need You now to show me the way. Please bring forth Your true Word, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
