Heartbreak hits hard. Whether it’s from a breakup, a broken engagement, or the wreckage of divorce, the pain is real. The questions come fast: Can I trust again? Can I trust myself? Can I trust God?
If you’re in that place right now—raw, unsure, and trying to find your way forward—I want to say this: you’re not alone. And yes, you can trust God again. But it may not look like you thought it would. Let’s walk this out together.
When Trust Is Shattered
Trust doesn’t disappear all at once. It cracks, piece by piece. A broken promise here. A silence there. The “I’ll always love you” that suddenly becomes past tense. And when the person who hurt you is someone you once prayed with or believed was God’s answer? That kind of pain runs deep.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” That’s not a bumper sticker verse—it’s a lifeline. God sees your heartbreak. He doesn’t ignore it, and He never asks you to pretend it doesn’t hurt.
Learning to Trust Again—Starting With God
Sometimes we blame God for what people did. I’ve done it. You might be doing it now. You prayed. You believed. And still, it fell apart. It’s okay to admit that you’re wrestling with your faith. But don’t walk away—lean in.
God is not the one who betrayed you. In fact, He’s the one who stayed.
Isaiah 41:10 reminds us: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.” Even in your heartbreak, God offers stability. Not the kind that masks pain, but the kind that holds you while you cry.
Divorce Doesn’t Disqualify You From Grace
There’s a lie that floats around in church circles that divorce makes you less than. That your calling is canceled or your future is off-limits. That is not biblical.
Romans 8:1 says, “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Let that sink in. No condemnation. Not for the divorced. Not for the rejected. Not for the heartbroken. You’re still loved. Still seen. Still valuable in the eyes of your Father.
Healing Is a Process, Not a Performance
You don’t have to have it all together. You don’t have to “bounce back.” What you do need is space to heal and truth to stand on. Healing with God isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen. It’s about surrendering the pieces so He can make something new.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 says, “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed… struck down, but not destroyed.” The pain is real, but it is not the end of your story. Keep going.
Walking With God in the Dark
You may not feel strong right now. You may not even feel spiritual. But faith isn’t about how you feel. It’s about where you walk.
When I was walking through heartbreak, I didn’t need perfect theology. I needed real moments with God. Sometimes that looked like yelling. Sometimes it looked like silence. But the thing that changed me most was this truth: God never stopped walking with me.
If you’re wondering whether God is still with you, hear this—He is. He never left. He’s walking with you, even now.
