God's Divorce Recovery Program Feb 19 2010
"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." - Mark 11:25
Perhaps today you are suffering from the consequences of divorce. Maybe your spouse deserted you or ran off with another person and you are feeling rejected, hurt, even humiliated. Or you may be still struggling twenty or thirty years later with the breakup of your parents and have a festering resentment against them. Or maybe you've been separated from your grandchildren because of divorce - something completely out of your control - and your heart is full of bitterness.
If you are suffering from the consequences of divorce, know this: Your pain will not go away until you release your resentment and forgive those who have wronged you. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, know that this forgiveness is not "just another option." It is not something God simply encourages. Jesus Christ commands forgiveness. I know this is hard; in fact, some pain is just too deep to be forgiven on our own. Only by the power of Christ can we forgive in certain cases. So, claim that power. Ask God to help you do what you can't do alone. Let God bring cleansing and healing to your life, and then you can begin to truly live again.

Yes, report it NevermindI dont think there is anything more painfull then divorce especially where there are children concerned. We still trying to get over our only son/child's divorce which happened 5 years ago. Believe my the children suffer, we have been to hell nd back 20 times trying to work out something. We have forgiven our son and ex daughter in-law although she was the one who wanted the divorce after 11 years of marriage, she went back to her sleazy lifestyle and now our grandchildren are suffering the consequences.My advice to couples before takeing that big ugly step of DIVORCE go for counselling see your Minister there is help out there, don't give up ! For the children's sake think twice. If you are in an abusive marriage and the children are suffering then you have to move on. It makes me wonder how my son and ex daughter in-law survived 11 years they had everything going for them, yes they both to blame but the ex daughter in-law wanted to be free she didnt realize what effect this was going to have on the children, because of her my granddaughter of 13 took an overdose. I asked God to forgive this child as she was crying out for help. I hope my story makes sense.

Yes, report it NevermindI am a product of divorce and it is very painful. My children who were very young at the time and are now adults, are still dealing with the impact of my ex-husband and my deceision to divorce. I hope anyone who considers this will 1st seek God's wisdom and really pray before taking that step. gladys
