Permission from the Authors has been given to those who would like to print or make a copy of this book for themselves or others, strictly for encouragement and informational purposesâwith the understanding that such copies or reprints are not to be sold in any form without prior notifying the author.Â
Bible passages in this book are "quoted" with their reference gathered as a footnote. In this edition, many are "quoted" from the NASB New American Standard Bible, NLT New Living Translation, CEV Contemporary English Version, ERV Easy-to-Read Version, TLB Living Bible, ESV English Standard Version, NET New English Translation, and The Voice.
When indicated and led by the LORD, Adonia, we search the writing source: Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and without the references that often cause the scribes to misinterpret the heart of what was said, which is confirmed by finding the same truth in several portions of God's Word.
Restore Ministries International, we are not partial to any one version of the Bible, because we love and read them all after witnessing the transformative effect it's had on us personally, to avoid religious arrogance and hopefully encourage more people from any denomination, and especially those of no denomination or church background who need hope.

Foreword
Assuming you've read How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage, you will notice I began with that book as the foundationâthen He began to broaden the restoration to include every possible relationship He is more than able to restore! It's been close to four decades since I began to believe Him for my first restorationâwanting more than anything in this world to have my parents together so that my son (and all the many children I'd hoped He'd bless me with) would have their grandparents together. And He did!!Â
It was watching this miracle occur, along with the first verse I took as His promise to meââFor nothing will be impossible with GODâš that this entire ministry was founded on. Long before His appointed time to restore my marriage relationship, He began restoring several othersâand He still is restoring.
Over so many years of ministry, I have learned many, many things. Yet one that I believe clearly distinguishes the level of maturity of His believer is when their lives and heart express, âAnd we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.â² So when a relationship is not restoredâthese mature believers are beyond thankful. They know that their Beloved has removed that "lover and friend"Âł: son or daughter, husband or wife, sister or brother from their lives for their good in order to fully live their Abundant Life.
As a minister who has had the privilege of leading many, it requires that I not have all my relationships restoredâbut live with many that aren't restoredâas proof that you can live a life so full of joy and abundance that your heart beats fasterâand your joy overflows puddling at the feet of anyone who comes near to you.
When I asked Him to help me express this promise to you, He had me envision a cup and asked, "Is your cup half empty or half full?" when the enemy taunted me about being excluded from a family gathering. I thought for a moment and then envisioned a tall glass of water that was pouring over the sides, running down my hand, spilling onto the floorâlike a spring coming up from the ground that never stops. My eyes teared up (as they are doing now), because, as I told Him long, long ago, âIf I have You, I have everything.â

About the Author
Erin Thiele is, author and the founder of Restore Ministries International.Â
Her greatest blessing, however, is as the mother of seven children and Mimi to more than a dozen grandchildren, hopefully with more to come.
Erin says that she is still astonished that God has seen fit to use her to encourage and motivate hundreds of women (and men) through her published books. What makes her books so special is how He led her to write with the distinctive style of using the Bible, His Word, to minister to and heal the brokenhearted. For Erin, it is not what she says but what He says that can change lives!
Yet her main focus will always be to encourage ALL women (and men) to seek the Lord intimately and passionately to allow HIM to restore each life just as He has and IS continually restoring hers! Through Him and His Word, you, too, can overcome every crisis.
Her Restoration Journey and ministry began when her husband left her for another woman and divorced her in 1989. Since then, she has been "blessed" to have been given the opportunity to go through various difficult valleys because each allowed her to know Him that much more!! Her Restoration Journey, and yours too, will continue to the day we meet our Beloved face-to-faceâbut for now, for today, she wants everyone to know that they were destined not to have to travel their journey alone.
She loves to share the truth that when she thought she lost her life, it was truly when she found itâby becoming the Lordâs bride, her Husband, her Maker.šÂ
âFor whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.â²Â

Back Cover
Based on the best-seller, How God Can and Will Restore Your Marriage: From Someone Whoâs Been There comes this amazing life-changing book Trust God to Restore Your Relationships.
Years after her own restored marriage, God led Erin Thiele to broaden the journey of restoration to include every possible relationship GOD is more than able to restore! Erin says, âIt's been close to four decades since I began to believe Him for my very first restorationâwanting more than anything in this world to have my parents together so that my firstborn, a son (and all the many children I'd hoped He'd bless me with) would have their grandparents together. And He did!!
After so many years of ministry, I have learned many, many things. Yet Godâs promise, âAnd we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose,âš is the key. This one truth, one promise, is able to unlock the secret of living an Abundant Life. Regardless if/when any relationship is restored, the reader will learn in this book that their Beloved has removed each "lover and friend"âa son or daughter, husband or wife, sister or brother from their lives for their good in order to fully live the Abundant Life their Savior died to give them.â
