Divorce is the dirty little secret in churches across America. It is not supposed to happen in Christian marriages, but the unfortunate reality is that it does happen to God's children.

And when it does, it is traumatic in so many ways. Often, those hit hardest by divorce never dream it could happen to them.

The future is so uncertain. Ideally, divorce would not happen at all.

But wanting something does not make it a reality. When divorce rages through a Christian’s life, it leaves a tsunami of devastation on every level, from the believers themselves to their children, extended family, friends, and even co-workers.

Those buffeted by the storm look around, bewildered by how they ended up in their situation. Struggling to comprehend a new reality, completing even the most basic daily task requires a monumental effort and takes on frightening new dimensions.

Life goes on, but it will not be the same. Devastated and alone, there is nowhere to turn except God.

He alone knows your heartache and will comfort you. In Him, you will find the peace you so eagerly yearn to experience.

Amid intense confusion, He will make a way for you. When your future seems hopeless, God makes plans for all of your tomorrows.

Trust in Him, and He will see you through your darkest moments. Even though you are walking through what is arguably the lowest point of your life, God is still there with you through it all.

He will never leave or forsake you and desires to comfort you as you pass through this valley of testing. Read each daily devotion and quietly listen to what He says to you.

Make time each day to cultivate an intimate relationship with Him, and He will speak to your heart about the things that matter most to you. God will never let you down, and that is something that you can always count on.
