Seeking a mentor is a positive thing after your divorce. Consider other areas where you are doing the right thing and be encouraged.
Take a moment and thank God for how He is working in your life right now. What do you have to be thankful for?
Listen to the broadcast series “Coping with Divorce” and discuss any discoveries with a mentor.
Be sure you are involved in a local, Bible-believing church for spiritual growth and accountability. Many churches even offer Divorce Care and Divorce Care for Kids groups that are helpful.
If you know Jesus Christ, God has not abandoned you and He is still faithful. Think about how you have seen Him walk alongside you today. Praise Him for that right now.
Do you know any marriages that God has restored even after divorce? It is possible He will do the same for you. But if nothing changes, how will you move forward?
Even if your marriage relationship is never reconciled, pray about what you can do to begin restoring your relationship with your ex to the friendship level.
Is there a mistake you continually beat yourself up over? If so, commit now to follow God wholeheartedly and put that behind you.
Determine some tangible ways you can live at peace with your former spouse. If at all possible go the extra mile, especially if kids are involved.
Be honest with yourself, viewing yourself with an accurate, biblical self-image. Ask others who know you well if they see you differently and if so, how.
Seek God first and trust him with all the other unresolved details of life (Matthew 6:33). Ask God to help you do that today.
Be honest about your feelings right now. Sometimes it is helpful to journal those feelings—write them out on paper and then talk to God about them.
Prayerfully consider if there are ways you have offended your spouse that you have not asked forgiveness for (Matthew 5:23-24). Then asked God to help you have the grace to make it right.
Consider one way that you may be able to cooperate with your ex-spouse for the sake of the children. Try to do something today that would truly bless your ex-spouse in some way.
