Don’t be Stoic

You may be persuaded to appear to be outwardly stoic, strong, confident and unaffected by the divorce even though you may be experiencing emotional pain. However, if you are hurting, say it hurts, cry, or grieve—but do so according to the Holy Spirit. You may need God to use a counselor or a friend to help you through the pain. He will allow you to cry, and He will cry with you, however when He says enough crying, ask for, and receive His power to stop crying.

This also includes what some call cycles of crying, cycles of grief, or a rollercoaster of emotions.

The only way to truly steady those emotions is to allow the Holy Spirit to govern them. If you ignore His help (His power), you will open the door to a spirit of depression that is meant to kill. The point is to allow the Holy Spirit to be your Counselor (and if need be, in addition to and with whomever He uses to counsel you). Tell Him how you feel and ask Him to help you. And just at the moment you are about to say or do something to hurt someone else, you will sense His presence and power to choose love. I am reminded of David in Psalm 23.

I have a new revelation and appreciation for this famous psalm, which states, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake” (Psalm 23:1–3). Ask God to restore your soul! Confess the Word of God over yourself concerning your mind and emotions. Now, if you will, say this short prayer: “Father God, I know You love me, and I know this pain did not come from You. Father, I ask You to restore my soul in Jesus’s name. Amen.”
