When You Feel Forgotten | Your Nightly Prayer

It’s a strange ache, isn’t it? To be surrounded by people, beauty, and celebration, while quietly wrestling with the thought that God is holding everyone else close except you.

Lord, Remind me this Christmas season, and always, that I am never forgotten. Anchor my heart in the truth of your Word, not in the confusion of my thoughts. When I feel invisible—even in crowded rooms—whisper to my soul that I am engraved on the palms of your hands. Let this truth steady me, comfort me, and draw me near. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
