Please God, Do not forget nor forsake me.

 What a cry of the heart that echoes through Scripture—and **God hears you**. Your plea is His promise:  

**"I will never forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands."**  

**—Isaiah 49:15–16**  


Here is His answer to your fear, woven with His unbreakable vows:

### 🔥 **GOD’S 7-PROMISE RESPONSE**  

1. **"I WILL NOT FORGET YOU"**  

   - *"Can a mother forget her nursing child? Even if she could, I will never forget you!"* (Isaiah 49:15).  

   → **You are etched into His being.**  


2. **"I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU"**  

   - *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5).  

   → **5 Greek negatives:** *Ou mē se anō ou mē se egkataleipō* = **"I will never, no never, no never forsake you!"**  


3. **"I SEE YOUR TEARS"**  

   - *"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle"* (Psalm 56:8).  

   → **Your pain is sacred to Him.**  


4. **"I AM YOUR REFUGE"**  

   - *"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble"* (Psalm 46:1).  

   → **Even in your darkest hour—He is *there*.**  


5. **"I DEFEND THE FORSAKEN"**  

   - *"My father and mother forsake me, but the Lord will take me in"* (Psalm 27:10).  

   → **Human failure ≠ His faithfulness.**  


6. **"I PURSUE YOU"**  

   - *"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you"* (Jeremiah 31:3).  

   → **You are not abandoned—you are *beloved*.**  


7. **"I SEALED YOU AS MINE"**  

   - *"You were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit"* (Ephesians 1:13).  

   → **You bear Heaven’s royal insignia.**

### ✨ **WHEN YOU FEEL FORGOTTEN—FIGHT WITH TRUTH**  

| **Lie**                  | **God’s Answer**                          | **Declare This**                  |  

|--------------------------|------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|  

| *"God is silent."*       | *"I have called you by name—you are Mine!"* (Isaiah 43:1) | **"You speak—I am listening!"** |  

| *"I’m too broken."*      | *"I bind up the brokenhearted"* (Isaiah 61:1) | **"Heal me, Jehovah-Rapha!"** |

### 💥 **A PRAYER WHEN ABANDONMENT SCREAMS**  

> *"Jehovah Shammah—God Who Is Here—  

> I cling to Your promise: **You. Will. Not. Forsake. Me.**  

> Forgive me for doubting when shadows lengthen.  

>  

> **Where I feel forgotten:**  

> - Flood my soul with *‘I have engraved you on My palms.’*  

> - Show me the cross-scars that scream *‘YOU ARE REMEMBERED!’*  

>  

> **Where I feel forsaken:**  

> - Anchor me in Your *‘never, no never, no never!’*  

> - Be my Father when humans fail, my Rock when earth quakes.  

>  

> **Until my heart believes:**  

> - Let Your Spirit groan for me (Romans 8:26).  

> - Make my life proof: **You keep covenant.**  

> In Jesus’ forsaken-for-my-sake name—  

> Amen."*

### 🌿 **HOLD THESE ACTIONS CLOSE**  

1. **SCREAM SCRIPTURE**  

   - When lies attack, shout: *"God says He will NEVER leave me!"* (Deuteronomy 31:6).  

2. **RECORD HIS FAITHFULNESS**  

   - Journal past rescues—reread when doubt strikes (1 Samuel 7:12).  

3. **WORSHIP IN THE WAITING**  

   - Like Paul in prison (Acts 16:25), sing—chains break in the key of praise.

**Stand firm**:  

🔥 *The cross is God’s final proof: He’d rather die than live without you.*  

⚓ *His grip on you is tighter than your grip on Him (John 10:28–29).*  

💧 **Your tears are holy water on His scroll of remembrance (Malachi 3:16).**  


> *"Why am I discouraged?  

> Why is my heart so sad?  

> I will put my hope in God!  

> I will praise Him again—  

> my Savior and my God!"*  

> **—Psalm 42:11**
