Ready to RemarrySample

God Wants Good Things for You

It’s normal and healthy to have doubts about remarriage. While dating, Delise and I were uncertain about the steps we should take to remove our doubts and be in a position to consider remarriage. Both of us wanted to avoid repeating mistakes, and if we did remarry, we certainly wanted to remarry for life. To remove our doubts, we embraced two of God's truths for our lives.

The first truth we embraced was God never wanted us to suffer divorce. It was not His will that we should go through a divorce. Nobody sets out to marry and eventually divorce. But as Delise says, "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube." So, we had to start believing that God had new lives planned for each of us beyond divorce.

We also embraced another truth: Divorced didn't mean demotion. God could bless our lives beyond divorce, and we didn't have to live in shame about being divorced.

Remember, God wants good things for you. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you living in shame about your divorce. Don't let the enemy win by embracing such a lie. Believe instead that God wants to bless your life beyond divorce.

Suggestions

1. Remember, God wants good things for you.
2. Don't let the enemy shame you about your divorce or anything else.
3. Ask God to heal your heart of all wounds caused by divorce or anything else. If we are faithful to ask, He will heal us.

Prayer

Lord, I know you love me. I know that you have good plans for me. I need your help today to trust you. I ask that you help me see anything in my heart that is not of you. Help me see any shame, anger, or bitterness. I take captive in Jesus' name any false beliefs in my heart and ask you, God, to expose them so that they will no longer have power over me. I have made mistakes, but Lord, you tell me I am not a mistake. I am worthy, and I am your child. Thank you, Lord, for all your blessings, and I pray that you will draw me closer to you today. In Jesus' name, amen.
