Ever been in a storm? Or in the middle of one right now? There’s good news for you- God has not forgotten you! Many people including King David in the bible & our Lord Jesus (like you) felt neglected once.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? – Psalm 22:1
For sure it’s natural to feel forgotten when in the middle of great trouble. Such times are times of great emotional confusion. You are frustrated by today’s pain and wonder what tomorrow will bring, you feel lonely and defeated, thinking that God has abandoned you, however the truth is that God has not forgotten you.
This kind of feeling can range from being unwanted to being easily irritated. At times you may not even be able to trace the origin of your emotions. I felt like this not too long ago. At that time, my loving father who knows me more than anyone else, sent me a message in form of a sermon titled Weep No More: God has not forgotten you, it was given by a woman of God that I respect a lot. The interesting thing is that I really didn’t go around at this particular time thinking God has forgotten me. However, when the sermon came, I was extremely comforted and got a huge boost to continue life and ministry with joy.
Can God Actually Forget Me?
But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. – Isaiah 49:14-16
“…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] [Josh. 1:5.]”
Hebrews 13:5 AMP
If God was the one that said this how could he then forget. He remembers you as well as His promises to you.
Why Then Do We Feel Forgotten?
Its natural to feel. Its normal for emotions to arise.
Fear, trouble, pain and the likes make us doubt God’s faithfulness towards us. Even sin or lack of time in God’s presence cause us to forget how unconditional his love is towards us.
Don’t let today’s trouble distract you from receiving his perfect love and grace. Don’t doubt his love nor your rights in him. Let your heart trust in God.
What you feel is not always an indication of the truth. God’s love for you is perfect no matter what you feel or are going through right now. He is not a man that will deal with you based on your wrong. The devil wants you to believe it that way though. You must remember that He cares about you unconditionally and has a plan for you. Run to your father and enjoy his love even in the midst of trouble. He has not forgotten you.
Remember also that the fact that you feel this way does not conclude the story. You can disregard what you feel and act on what you KNOW.
