1. READ how Greg sees the light of Christ shining in the darkness
“I have seen the light of Christ shining through the darkness of divorce. Too many of us have seen the impacts of broken marriages. I have also witnessed many times how resilient humans can be. Watching family and friends work through a divorce, and stepping up to be both the mom and the dad is incredible. And I know that it happens because God is with them. When it’s tough, I have seen how the Lord provides, often through someone walking alongside of them and giving them a shoulder to lean on.”

4. PRAY God’s words of life and comfort over your heart
Father, deliver us from the evil and darkness of sin in our relationships. We "praise you God because You have comforted us in our troubles so that we can comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received from You.” (2 Corinthians 1:3–4). Give us eyes to see people in pain today and feet that are ready to walk alongside them. Amen.
5. Before You Go – ENJOY this interesting fact about divorce
Despite the common belief that “half of all marriages end in divorce,” the U.S. divorce rate has actually been falling since the 1980s. Factors contributing to this decline are younger generations tending to marry later when they are more mature as well as prioritizing education and financial stability before marriage.
