1 Peter 5:7
God's way is perfect, converting the soul.
A person’s spiritual health needs to regain its balance in the
aftermath of broken relationships. It is an untidy business. One has to
navigate through a complicated maze of thoughts and feelings to sort out what
is true and what is not true about the other person, ourselves, and any contributing factors. Getting past self-pity and stinking-thinking is needful
for a healthier spiritual self.
The microscope of God is uncomfortable but necessary for a spirit-led recovery. Many prefer to not go there. They wear blinders and put up a facade, a pretense that says, I’m okay. Though they may not realize it, they exhibit a false front, a projection of wholeness that isn't quite true. It soon derails. The deadness will remain. Life will dry up. What to do?

Pain has a way of numbing reactions which circumvents the
ability to move forward. You can get lost in the hurt. There are times
when loss is so devastating that you are upended, unable to carry on. All you can do is cry out to God. That place of brokenness is where it starts.
At this point it is essential to release your needs and desires to God that you might access his healing grace and divine intervention. Lifting your prayers in openness and brokenness is something God uses to unfold a master plan for our lives. God knows what we need—and he will provide it. He binds wounds and heals hearts. God doesn’t waste anything.

A stronger spirit life is something we receive as we draw
from the deep well of God. He has resources to help us restore, renew and
revitalize.
In making something new out of something broken,
-God gives us friends and mentors to guide and encourage,
-scripture and writings to teach and illuminate,
-prayer and meditation to comfort and console.
God uses these to transform our life into a masterpiece of rare beauty. Trust God to do this for you.

Dear Father God, when
I am weak you are strong. I ask for strength to carry on and the courage to
move forward.
