I am divorced with three children, ages are 8, 5, and 2. We moved from a house to a small apartment. I recently changed jobs. My hours vary and cause me to be away from the children to much. I do not have that many hours at work. My ex husband does not pay child support, he does not work, and has problems with alcohol. We do not get along most of the time. He lives with his parents who constantly give me a hard time. I’m trying to balance everything as a single mother. I’m having a hard time figuring things out. I feel lost and unsure of my parenting. If you could pray for guidance for me. If anyone has any advice It would be greatly appreciated. This is all pretty new to me.

Rachel,
Life after divorce takes a bit of getting used too. It will take time and you mentioned some important things that should bring you comfort. You have 3 wonderful children that love their mom. You have a job and being in an apartment during this time is not all bad. The bills are less and so is the maintenance. Just consider this as a phase that you will soon grow out of. Take the kids to story time at the library and get yourself an uplifting parenting book. We all have struggles as a parent but it is the ones that never realize their limits or problems that do the most damage.
Rachel,
I know that life is hard right now for you, and I pray for your situation. The best advice I can give you, is to seek the Lord Jesus Chist out. Give your problems to the Lord and let him help you. I have found for myself that seeking the Lord out is the best thing I have done. It also helps to look at the blessings you have no matter how small they are. I just want you to know that I love you in Christ and I have pray for your strength in the Lord. Keep your head up and your eyes on Jesus. May God bless you and lead you.
