On My Own
A daily Bible study to help you
SESSION ONE
This is a special part of your workbook that will guide you to sections of the Bible that are relevant to the emotions, worries and questions you are dealing with right now. We like to think of the Bible as the "owner's manual" for life. It's a place where you can get real-world answers for real-world problems, including separation and divorce.
GEORGIA'S STORY
"I was terrified when I signed the final divorce papers," shares Georgia. "I honestly did not know how I was going to survive. I was paralyzed many days with fear because not only did I go through a divorce, but I was also fighting for my life. I had been given a two percent chance to be alive in ten years because of a reoccurrence of breast cancer. My son was only eight years old at the time. I lost my job. I felt like a failure. And the pain [of grief] was crippling. There were days I just was in bed staring at the ceiling, staring at the walls, and then staring back at the ceiling."
Yes, the pain is crippling. It might seem like you'll never be happy again and that you'll never make it through this mess. The future looks bleak. "Am I going crazy?" you wonder. Be assured that what you're experiencing is normal. There is an end to this pain, and this week's exercises will help you get started on the path of healing and hope.
I feel like I'm losing my mind
This is a typical feeling for a person going through a divorce or separation. It will get better.
GOD'S MESSAGE TO YOU "Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones grow weak." (Psalm 31:9?10)
1. David, the second king of Israel, wrote this psalm. Which of the emotions he describes here can you relate to as a result of your divorce or separation?
2. How are David's emotions affecting him physically?
Emotionally, I was a mess. --Mica
