When tragedy strikes or life unravels, support often comes in waves. In the early days, friends gather, meals are shared, prayers pour in. But as weeks pass, the calls and check-ins fade, leaving many feeling forgotten.
Rachel Wojo, host of Untangling Prayer, reminds us that while human support has limits, God’s love and presence are limitless. His promise — “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” — is written with the strongest possible assurance. Unlike people, who may forget or move on, God remains constant. His faithfulness is not tied to our performance, our circumstances, or even our doubts.
When you feel abandoned, remember: God’s presence never fades. He is your Helper, your steady companion in the lonely moments, the midnight tears, and the quiet struggles.
Today's Bible Verse: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.' So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?' Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." – Hebrews 13:5-8
Key Takeaways
People may fail you, but God never will. His love is permanent and unchanging.
God’s promise in Hebrews 13 is emphatic. In the original text, it’s a double negative — “no way, not ever” will He leave you.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His presence and love remain constant through every season.
Your confidence rests in God’s help, not human approval.
Let’s Pray
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your love never fades. When human support weakens or disappears, remind me that You are always near. Help me to trust that Your presence is steady, unchanging, and more than enough. May I say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.” In Jesus’ name, Amen.
