"God won't bless my future marriage because my parents broke their covenant vow to Him."
How it sounds in your head: Marriage is sacred to God and your parents violated that. He takes covenant seriously. When you eventually get married, you'll start with a deficit, already behind because of their broken vow.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

You feel like you're paying for their choices. Everything feels harder, like you're climbing uphill while other kids from intact families coast downhill.
Ruth came from a broken family situation - widowed, foreign, daughter-in-law watching her mother-in-law's family collapse. One decision of faithfulness and God gave her Boaz - instant redemption, ultimate blessing, placed her in the Messianic line despite family devastation.
I REFUSE the lie that my parents' divorce limits God's blessing on my future. IT IS WRITTEN that God's thoughts toward ME are peace, giving ME a future and hope. Their broken covenant does NOT break God's covenant with ME. IT IS WRITTEN that He freely gives me ALL things. The BARAK blessing is mine - I will be blessed in marriage, blessed in family, blessed coming in and going out. Ruth came from devastation and entered the lineage of CHRIST. My future is NOT deficit - it's FAVOR.
The Father isn't recording your parents' failure in your file. He's writing YOUR story with fresh ink - plans to give you the marriage they didn't have, not because you earned it, but because that's who He is.
