In Matthew 5:32, Jesus explains to us the implications of going through a divorce. Immorality is the only leeway he gives for the necessity of divorce. Some people still choose to be together even if their partner has been sexually immoral.
For those who have to go through the unenviable traumatic experience of divorce, know that God wants you to be fine. When a marriage fails there is disappointment, sadness, regret, time wasted, and resentment. Christ encourages us to forgive each other of our shortcomings just as the father in heaven forgives us for ours.
During a divorce, it is important to stay with God in prayer. Thoughts of malice and revenge will plague your mind if you do not fill it with the peaceful thoughts of Christ through the Holy Spirit.
When you focus too much on what you may be losing you may never forgive your former partner and you might take it out on your innocent children. Keep a list of prayers for when going through divorce to keep you grounded in God’s wisdom.
The devil puts asunder. The love you once shared eventually turned sour and became toxic and hate. More than 50% of all marriages end in separation but know that you don’t have to go through it alone. Divorce is a terrible thing and is not of God.
God wants to see us happy and in love just like he loves us. When divorce comes, you need to strengthen yourself in the Lord. Let go of all the pain and hate in your heart and be the best individual you can be. Do not allow your divorce to destroy you. Be strong and persevere in wisdom.
Do not hate your ex-partner but let the word of God be your counsel. Seek the Holy Spirit at all times and let it guide you in everything you do. Pray always for strength and courage to face yourself and society. Don’t feel judged by anyone, hold your head up high and move on with your life.

Prayer to Forgive when Going Through a Divorce
Father Lord,
Thank you for this journey that we embarked on
It has ended unfortunately
I come to you today to say that there is so much hate in my heart
I have gradually grown toxic, neglectful, and hateful
My marriage has turned me into a distrusting person and a nervous wreck
I offer my heat to you today so you can purify it|
Through all the fights, screaming, and shouting, I picked up habits that I am not proud of
I said words that I would not normally say
I disgraced myself and my family
Today, I ask for your forgiveness
I ask for my children’s forgiveness
I pray that you help me forgive my partner
Help me let go of all the hate and pain in my heart
Do not let me project the toxicity that is in me on other people
Bless me to say each day that it is well with my soul
Grant me the patience and wisdom to not drag my family name further into shame
Let me stand firm and look up to you
Help me forget all the unpleasantness that riddled my marriage all this while
Strip me of the burden of blame
I accept my faults and I pray that you forgive them
If there is any way I contributed to this failure help me forgive myself
Thank you, Lord
Amen

A divorce is a terrible experience for anybody but let God be your light. When two people decide not to marry anymore a vow has been broken and God does not like it. Pray for his forgiveness and try to move on with him. He has all the answers and he knows the way forward.
People going through divorces are sometimes very vulnerable and feel a false sense of freedom initially but eventually, they try to remove that freedom by getting with anyone they meet. Let God guide you in your next step. Let him order your steps forward and pray for his presence always.
