Ready to RemarryНамуна

Date, Wait, and Evaluate

Are you ready to remarry? It's wise not to rush into remarriage. The Lord wants to protect you from heartache. The Bible says you should be patient because you will benefit from waiting upon the Lord. When you're patient, you have time to evaluate how things are going, and the Lord has time to reveal everything you need to see.

Suggestions

Here are a few questions to help determine your readiness to remarry.

1. Do you believe that God has good plans for your life?
2. Have you diligently sought God's wisdom about your decision to remarry?
3. Would you agree that you are spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially healthy?
4. Are you free of any guilt or shame?
5. Are you confident you'll be able to resolve disagreements healthily when they happen in your current relationship?

These would be red lights if you answered 'no' to any of these questions. It's wise to resolve these issues before you remarry. If you struggle to work through these issues, a professional Christian counselor could help you.

Prayer

Lord, Thank you for today. Thank you for being so faithful in giving me wisdom when I ask for it. I am asking. Lord, don't let my emotions blind me from the truth. I am keeping watch to see what you will speak to me. I pray that I do not get so wrapped up in what my heart may be feeling that I get blinded to any red lights. I ask you to reveal any red lights and give me the wisdom to stay on your path for my family and me. Lord, don't let me fall into the enemy's trap. I ask that you open my eyes to the unseen. If there are reasons that I need to slow down this relationship, show them to me and help me obey your will. Lord, I recognize that your ways are right and better than mine. I am willing to yield my desire to you and give you complete control to be the Lord of my life. Open my eyes and heart to see what I need to see in this situation. I pray your will be done. I know if it is your will, it will be the best path for me. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.
