Hi. I'm new to this board, but I've spend alot of time lately over on the divorce boards. I am currently seperated from my husband of two years, and will hopefully be single by the end of the year. I'm also a new Christian. A few weeks ago, I started talking to God every night, and have been doing alot of soul searching and praying lately.
I was wondering if anyone can help me find some quotes, proverbs, psalms, etc. that can help me past the depression rut that I'm currently in because of my divorce. I've read the part about how divorce is a sin, and that it is only valid when an affair has taken place. While there was no affair in my case (My ex stole about $4000 worth of textbooks), I wasn't a Christian at the time, and hope that there is a liberal interpretation to that verse. Anyways, I'm looking for some help finding verses that can give me hope, that can help me look past the sorrow.
Thanks in advance,
Amy

Amy,
You will find many varying views on this Board, and all are valid.
I don't remember the Bible saying that divorce is a sin. Where's that? (Seriously, I don't remember that part.)
One of my favorite scriptures is James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (KJV)." It's a reminder to me that if I ever feel down about something or I'm not sure what to do in a difficult situation, I can pray to my Heavenly Father and He can help guide and direct me in what I should do.
I wish you luck during this difficult time. Just know that God loves you and wants what is best for you, even though you may not see it yet.
