When You Feel Forgotten by God: A Message from Isaiah 49

Have you ever felt like your prayers went unanswered… your tears unnoticed… like God forgot your name? If so, you're not alone. In Isaiah 49, God's people cried out, "The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me." They felt abandoned. Overlooked. Left behind.

But listen to God’s response: Can a woman forget her nursing child...? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee." "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands."

That’s not the voice of an angry God. That’s the voice of a loving Father.

Even when we can’t feel Him — He’s near.

Even when nothing seems to be changing — He’s working.

Sometimes, silence feels like absence. But with God, silence is never the end of the story. If you’ve been waiting… if you feel like you’re fading into the background… take heart.

You are remembered.

You are engraved.

You are deeply loved.

Let Isaiah 49 remind you that your waiting is not wasted. Your name is on His hand. And your season of breakthrough is on the way.

You’re Not Alone in This

You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...

Your Delay Is Not Denial

Your Delay Is Not Denial Trusting God in the Waiting Season 📖 Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) – “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? You pray. You believe. You wait. And still… it feels like nothing is moving. It’s easy to get discouraged in seasons of delay — especially when others around you seem to be walking into their breakthroughs while you’re stuck wondering “When is it my turn?” But the Word of God in Habakkuk 2:3 brings comfort and clarity: For the vision is yet for an appointed time... That means: God hasn’t forgotten. The promise, the vision, the direction — whatever He placed in your heart — is still alive. But it’s attached to a divine appointment. Just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t. 💭 What Is the “Vision”? In Habakkuk’s time, the vision referred to a revelation from Go...
