Prayers seem unanswered, circumstances remain unchanged, and hope starts to fade. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder: Has God forgotten me? But Scripture reminds us of what’s true—even when emotions say otherwise. 📖 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast…? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” — Isaiah 49:15 📖 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 In today’s prayer and reflection, we bring our doubts, disappointments, and discouragement to the One who sees us. You are not overlooked. You are not invisible. You are engraved on the palm of His hand—and you are deeply loved.
