5.    Trust in God

There are so many uncertainties in life, especially when going through a divorce and trying to rebuild your life afterward. You have circumstances beyond your control and fear and doubt take up residence in your heart. You are frequently filled with worry and a long list of “what if’s?”

These are the times when you must make a tough decision… the decision to trust God. But feel confident in your decision because with God, all things are possible! God knows your heart. He knows your fears and your worries. He knows the challenges you face. Give it all to him. Let him carry your burdens. Trust in him and you will find peace in your pain and strength in your struggles.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6
