Porsha Williams is grateful for her recent legal victories amid her ongoing divorce from Simon Guobadia.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 43, told PEOPLE at Bravo Fan Fest in Miami that “God is showing out” after a judge granted her temporary sole possession of the couple’s home and gave her permission to film in the residence earlier this month.
“God is good,” she shared. “You know, Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, has never let me down. And at the end of the day, you know, people are gonna take their shots, people are gonna try to speak on your future and what it is but it's already written, baby. You can't mess that up. It is what it is.”
“You just gotta stay strong and just know that the next day can be better than your current day,” she added.

The reality star also opened up about how therapy has allowed her to navigate this difficult time while filming RHOA.
“I really got into therapy and a big part of therapy was her suggesting self-preservation, which is hard to do when you're in an ensemble cast and you have to speak about your life,” she explained. “But I really had boundaries about what I would open up to with some of the other girls and what I would not.”
She continued, “So just kind of like being and protecting myself, but also being with everyone else has been a good thing for me.”
Williams' update comes nine months after she filed for divorce from Guobadia in February following 15 months of marriage, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time. She noted in the filing that their marriage was "irretrievably broken."
A source told PEOPLE at the time that the cause of their split is an "ongoing matter."
The pair announced their engagement in May 2021 after one month of dating and said their "I dos" in November 2022 in a Nigerian traditional native law and custom ceremony followed by an American ceremony in Atlanta.
Since the split, the two have had traded disagreements on the occupancy of their marital home and the validity of their prenuptial agreement, which Guobadia has argued is "unfair and unreasonable" as Williams recently signed a contract for an NBC Universal scripted development deal.
The television star — who shares 5-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena with ex Dennis McKinley — has also slammed her ex for making "false statements and allegations" that are "intentionally misrepresenting the reality of the situation."
Earlier this month, a judge granted Williams granted temporary sole possession of the couple’s marital residence and gave her the “unrestricted right to film and produce television, film or social media” in the home, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE.
The order also required Guobadia provide any documents — seemingly contracts or releases for RHOA — “necessary” for filming to occur in the residence.

Guobadia filed a separate defamation lawsuit against the reality star over her erectile dysfunction social media posts.
In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Guobadia claimed that Williams made “false and defamatory statements” by implying that he “suffers from erectile dysfunction.” He alleged that her social media post caused "significant harm” to his “personal and professional reputation, subjected him to public ridicule, and inflicted severe emotional distress.”
Williams previously posted Instagram Stories with information about erectile dysfunction, which she hashtagged "#menshealthawareness" but did not name Guobadia, according to screenshots featured in the documents.
Guobadia claimed that “the damage extends into his personal relationships, where he is met with skepticism and pity, and into his professional engagements, where the shadow of these false allegations looms large.”
He is requesting to be awarded at least $75,000 in compensatory and punitive damages by a jury.
