God will not forget nor forsake us.

Here is a poem of comfort and assurance, anchored in the enduring promise of God's memory and presence.

When silence is the only sound, And on forgotten ground I’m found, When I feel lost,a name unspoken, A thread of trust,nearly broken, A fear creeps in,a chilling dread: “Are your promises true?”my heart has said.

Then from the depths, a voice so clear, Dispelling every doubt and fear. A scripture rises,strong and sure, A covenant forever pure: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” The words are life,and steadfast, true.

The world may shift, and friends may turn, Lessons of loss my heart may learn. But You are not as mortal men, Who forget a vow or promise when The winds change course.Your word is stone, A constant truth on which I’m known.

“Can a mother forget the child she nurses?” The prophet asked of earthly curses. Yet even if that could be so, A love more vast than I can know Declares,“I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on my palms.” A permanent mark,a healing balm.

So when I feel alone, afraid, By my own weakness betrayed, I’ll claim the promise You impart And hold it close within my heart. You do not forget.You will not forsake. This is the rock on which I make My stand in shadows,through the night, Until Your love brings morning’s light.
