Divorce

25Feb11

My original post today was going to be on divorce, and how it affects the lives of those involved–from the husband and wife to the kids–and is not a part of God’s best life possible which He has planned for us.

While I wrote I felt God had something different He wanted me to say.

Divorce is not a part of God’s best life possible for you and should be be avoided at all costs!!! However, I know many who have fought hard to save their marriages, but the other party had no interest in staying together. To those who fought for your marriage I believe God wants you to know how much He loves you, and He still wants you to have life in its fullest! 2 Corinthians calls Him the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, and He wishes to be that for you.

When I was a kid I learned a lot of songs from Psalty the singing songbook. These are the lyrics to one of those songs. For those of you who are hurting from divorce–or in any other fashion–may this be your prayer today.

I cast all my cares upon You

I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet

And anytime I don’t know what to do

I will cast all my cares upon You
