You will also feel God’s presence through the Holy Spirit. God marks every believer by placing His Spirit inside them (Acts 2:38). It’s His comforting presence that helps us in difficult times (John 14:15-17).

We know that we live in Him and He in us because He has given us of His Spirit. 1 JOHN 4:13

Jesus calls the Spirit “the Comforter” (John 14:16; 16:7), in Greek paraclete, a legal term for one “called beside,” who stood with the needy, who helped a defendant, not only with issues of the law but with the stresses of life that accompany such crises. How wonderful that Jesus promises this Comforter comes “to be with you forever” (John 14:16). When we endure the abandonment of divorce we especially need a “Helper” like that!

By the Spirit we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ ROMANS 8:15

The Spirit reminds us that we belong to God, no matter how others treat us.

Scripture tells us,

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children! ROMANS 8:16

When we see our families broken, when we face the financial and social devastation of divorce, when we see our children suffer in bewilderment from all the changes, we need to cling to God’s promises that we belong to Him.

We can trust His faithfulness! We know that if God includes us in His family, He accepts us as His heirs. ROMANS 8:17

This means our future in Heaven is secure no matter what happens in temporary earthly courts and homes. The Holy Spirit which God has placed inside every believer will comfort us with these important reminders.
