My Lord, My Lord, Please do not forget nor forsake me.

Those words, "Do not forget nor forsake me," echo a deep and ancient cry of the human heart—one that God hears and answers with unwavering promises.

This is a prayer He will never ignore.

The Promise from God's Word

The Bible is filled with God's direct response to this exact fear. Here are just a few of His assurances:

· Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV):

  "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you."

· Isaiah 49:15-16 (NKJV):

  "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me."

· Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV):

  Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

· Psalm 27:10 (NKJV):

  "When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me."

God is not a man that He should lie. His character is faithfulness. When He says "never," He means it.

A Poem: "You Have Not Forgotten Me"

Here is a poem born from that cry and His faithful response.

"You Have Not Forgotten Me"

My soul cries out in barren places, "Father,turn not away Your faces. Am I a whisper lost in time? A forgotten,fading, broken rhyme?"

The world is loud, and I am small, I fear the coming night will fall. "Remember me!"my spirit pleads, Amid the thorns and withered weeds.

But then a Word, a truth so deep, A promise You are sworn to keep: "You are engraved upon My hands, Before My sight your likeness stands.

"The mountains may depart the earth, And hills wear out with age and dearth, But My own love will never leave, For this My covenant blood did weave.

"I did not spare My only Son, The victory is fully won. How could I then,who gave the Best, Abandon you to endless quest?

"So when you feel most left behind, When shadows fill your anxious mind, Recall the cross,the empty grave— My power is present now to save.

I have not forgotten you. I will not forsake you. You are Mine."

A Simple Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

I come to You feeling small and afraid. My heart whispers, "Do not forget me. Do not forsake me." I choose to hold onto Your promises instead of my fears. Your Word says You will never leave me. I believe You. Help my unbelief.

Thank you that I am engraved on Your hands, always in Your sight. Thank you that Your love for me is as sure as the victory of Jesus Christ. Quiet my heart with the truth of Your presence today.

In the faithful name of Jesus, Amen.

Be at peace, dear friend. You are held, you are seen, and you are deeply remembered by the God who calls you His own.
