Today we will be dealing with 25 Bible verses for estranged relationships. Every relationship you have on earth is for two reasons either for blessing or for lessons. For some strange reason, you might have to cut your relationship with some people. You might have to walk away from relationships with other people and remove some completely from your life. Whichever one you do, just ensure it is for the best and you have been led by the holy ghost to do it.
What is an Estranged Relationship?
An estranged relationship is distancing or isolating yourself from the person or people you share a great bond. It may happen as a result of betrayal, guilt, hatred, or in some cases leading of the holy spirit.
For instance, you may be led by the spirit of God to walk far away from someone or people you can’t do without. This person or people could be your lover, closest friend, or family. On two occasions this happened to Abraham. First God told him to leave his kindred and go to a land where he will show him.
On another occasion, he had to separate himself from his dear brother Lot. Man is not made to live an isolated life. That’s why social interaction and relationship is as important as the air we breathe. However, there are some occasions when we need to learn to walk away from people we love.
You may have also been hearing from God to walk away from someone or a group of people. Maybe you are not sure if you can live alone after your estranged relationship with your lover or family. The scripture offers some comforting verses that will give you strength and hope.

13. Proverbs 4:13-21
Always remember what you have been taught, and don’t let go of it. Keep all that you have learned; it is the most important thing in life.

They cannot rest until they harm someone. They feast on wickedness and cruelty as if they were eating bread and drinking wine. The way of the good person is like the light of dawn, growing brighter and brighter until full daylight. But the wicked walk around in the dark; they can’t even see what makes them stumble. My child, pay attention to my words; listen closely to what I say. Don’t ever forget my words; keep them always in mind.
