The Antidote for Anxiety and Depression: Trust in Abba Father’s Care – Pt 93
You Are Not Forgotten!
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; Thy walls are continually before me.
– Isaiah 49:15-16
There are times when it seems like God has forgotten you and not heard your prayers because you have been praying for a breakthrough in a situation for a very long time but the situation persists. Anxiety and depression have a way of misleading your mind so that your perception of things are not the truth.
Know today that you are not forgotten. God will not forget you. As a matter of fact, because of His great love for you He has graven (inscribed, engraved, written) you in the palm of His hand, just like someone in love tattoos his or her lover on his or her body. Therefore, you are continually (constantly, always, perpetually) before Him. That is, every time He opens the hallow of His hands you are there as an everlasting reminder to Him. How cool is that?
As your Heavenly Father holds you in the palm of His hands, for you He has compassion (love, mercy, kindness, forgiveness). God’s compassion reveals a deep kindly sympathy and sorrow that He feels for you when you are hit with affliction or calamity and His desire to relieve your suffering. He is the Great High Priest who knows all your needs and is touched with the feelings of your infirmities (see Hebrews 4:15). He also desires for you to prosper, not only spiritually but also physically and emotionally (see 3 John 1:3). You can call on Him today.
God bless you!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Abba, I worship and adore You. Thank You for not forgetting me, for engraving me in the palm of Your hands, holding me close to You and for Your compassion towards me. I declare that I am not forgotten, that God knows everything about me and He is relieving me from my suffering. Therefore, I prosper in my spirit, soul and body. I pray this by faith in Jesus’ precious name with thanksgiving. Amen!
