5 Life Hacks That Will Make A Huge Difference In Your Divorce Recovery

5.     Pray!

What physical exercise does for the body, prayer does for the soul. It fortifies you spiritually and enables you to meet the challenges of each day with a positive attitude and with a sense of hope. It acts as a “spiritual immune system” allowing you to fight off depression, anger, and loneliness. And just as people who exercise regularly are more in-tune with their bodies, people who pray regularly are more in-tune to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Whatever form of prayer you choose, such as rote prayer, spontaneous prayer, reflecting on the gospel reading or even just talking to him about what you’re feeling, make prayer a part of your day.

Divorce can bring a tremendous amount of suffering and uncertainty. In a moment, a lifetime of dreams and plans can be destroyed. It is during these times that it can feel like you were dropped in a foreign land—with no map—in the dark. But, scripture repeatedly reassures us that God will never abandon us and that He has a tremendous plan for us. Try to trust in that for it is through that trust that a sense of hopefulness will return. While you may not have a clue as to what God has planned for you in the future, you can rest assured that it is going to be better then what you imagine.
