When God Goes Silent After Divorce: What It Really Means (and Why It’s Not a Punishment)
You signed the papers. You changed your last name back. You packed up the memories, rearranged the furniture, and started rebuilding.
But somehow, even after all the steps… you still feel stuck.
And what’s worse?
God feels silent.
Press play & listen to this post!
You prayed through the marriage. You begged for a sign. You fought to make it work. And now—on the other side—you’re left wondering:
“Is God disappointed in me?”
“Was this divorce a punishment?”
“Why does it feel like He went quiet the minute I finally made the hardest choice of my life?”
If you’ve been here—if this is the echo in your heart—I want to offer you something deeper than another “you got this” affirmation.
I want to tell you the truth.
🔇 When God is Quiet, It Doesn’t Mean He Left
After my divorce, I expected God to be loud. I wanted the clouds to part. I wanted a voice booming from the heavens saying, “You did the right thing, my daughter.”
But all I got?
Silence.
And you know what I’ve come to believe?
That silence wasn’t abandonment. It was invitation.
God wasn’t punishing me.
He was pulling me into alignment.
Into stillness.
Into truth.
Into a version of myself that didn’t require outside validation.
😔 The Shame You Hear Isn’t His Voice
After a recent video I posted went viral (like, almost one million views), the comment section lit up with opinions.
People quoting Scripture like weapons.
Telling me I’m glorifying divorce.
That I’m leading women away from God.
But here’s the thing—those comments didn’t just sting because they were hateful.
They stung because they echoed the thoughts I used to whisper to myself:
“You failed.”
“God’s ashamed of you.”
“You’ll never be whole again.”
But that voice? That’s not God.
That’s spiritual trauma echoing through the chambers of your nervous system.
God doesn’t shame. God doesn’t guilt. God doesn’t abandon.
✝️ The Woman at the Well Was Divorced Too
Let’s talk Bible.
You know who Jesus chose to reveal Himself to first?
A woman who’d had five husbands.
Who was living with a man who wasn’t her husband.
Who went to the well alone at noon because her shame kept her from being seen.
That’s the woman Jesus sat with.
That’s the woman He chose.
That’s the woman He trusted to go preach the truth back to her village.
If Jesus had no problem showing up for her—why do you think He’s turned His back on you?
⏳ Suffering Isn’t a Spiritual Requirement
I had someone message me and say, “I don’t agree with your take on healing faster. People need time.”
And yes—some people do.
But others stay stuck for years because they believe they deserve to suffer.
They confuse pain with penance.
Let me be clear:
You don’t have to earn your redemption.
God doesn’t want you sitting in shame until your spirit shrivels up.
He wants you healed.
He wants you alive.
He wants you in alignment with who He created you to be.
And yes—you can get there faster. When you have the right tools and the right truth.
🌿 What Alignment Actually Looks Like
My comeback didn’t start when I got a new job.
Or when I started dating again.
Or when the house felt full of fresh energy.
It started when I made peace with my truth.
When I stopped living in survival.
When I started living in alignment with my values, my faith, and my purpose.
Your redemption isn’t about going back.
It’s about becoming who you were always meant to be—before the guilt, before the fear, before the divorce.
