Dearest Little Jars of Clay,
Sending you so much love today. I want to talk about something really tough that some of you might be going through, or know someone who is.
Life can sometimes feel like a wobbly tower of blocks, right? One minute everything's steady and strong, and the next, a big piece shifts, and it feels like everything might tumble down. For some of you, that "big piece" might be your parents going through a divorce. And let me tell you, when that happens, it can feel super shaky, confusing, and even a bit scary.
It's okay to feel sad, angry, confused, or even a mix of all those feelings. Your emotions are real, and they are important. When big changes happen in a family, it's normal to have lots of questions, and sometimes it feels like there are no good answers. You might wonder, "Why is this happening?" or "What about me?"
What God's Word Says When Life Feels Wobbly
Even when things feel messy or unpredictable here on Earth, God's love for you is one thing that never, ever changes. It's constant. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 55:22 (CSB) (and this is a really important verse to remember when things feels tough): "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
What does that beautiful verse mean for you, my precious Little Jar of Clay?
-
You can talk to God about everything. He's always listening, no matter how big or small your worries are. He can handle your sadness, your anger, your tears, and all your questions. He truly cares.
-
He will help you stand strong. Even when your world feels shaky around you, God is your steady rock. He won't let you be shaken at your core. He's right there with you, holding you up and giving you strength.
-
His love for you is forever. Your parents' relationship might change, but God's love for you is constant, unbreakable, and everlasting. You are His precious Little Jar of Clay, and He cherishes you deeply.
Some Important Truths to Hold On To:
-
It's not your fault. Divorce is an adult decision, and it has nothing to do with anything you did or didn't do. Please remember that.
-
It's okay to ask for help. You don't have to carry these feelings all by yourself. Talk to another trusted adult—a grandparent, a teacher, a pastor, a favorite aunt or uncle, or even Auntie Mica. Reach out.
-
Focus on what you can control. While you can't control your parents' decisions, you can control how you react, how you treat others (and yourself), and how you take care of your own heart (getting enough rest, doing things you enjoy, spending time with God).
Even when tough stuff happens, remember that God is with you every single step of the way. He's bigger than any problem, and He promises to help you through it. You are never alone.
What's one small thing you can do this week to take care of your heart, even if it's just a little bit? Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's keep lifting each other up as we journey together.
Sending you all my love and prayers'
Auntie Mica
