There are times in life when the silence from heaven feels loud, and it seems like your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. In such moments, it’s easy to wonder: “Has God forgotten me?” But the Word of the Lord in Isaiah 49 reassures us with power and tenderness, You are not forgotten.
God uses a powerful image to make His point: “Can a mother forget her baby?” Naturally, the answer is no. A nursing mother is constantly aware of her child, even when asleep. Yet, God says, even if it were possible for her to forget, He never will. That’s the depth of His love and commitment to you.
The phrase “I have engraved you on the palms of my hands” is even more profound. To engrave is not a temporary mark, it’s permanent. It’s not written with ink but etched deep into His being. In a spiritual sense, every time God looks at His hands, He sees you. Your life, your journey, your name, it’s all before Him.
This truth should calm your anxious heart. You are not invisible to God. He’s not overwhelmed or distracted. You are not just one of the crowd to Him; you are known, seen, and valued. When others overlook you or fail to check in, God is always attentive. His eye is on you, and His heart is for you.
Maybe you’re walking through a lonely season, waiting on an answer, battling rejection, or dealing with loss. This message is for you: You are not forgotten. You are not a mistake. You are not abandoned. God is nearer than you think, and He’s working behind the scenes to align things in your favor.
Hold on to this promise today. Let it fuel your prayers and comfort your soul. When the enemy whispers lies that you’ve been overlooked, remind yourself of the truth: You are engraved on His palms. You are held, loved, remembered, and never alone.
