When You Feel Forgotten

🌿Scripture:

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!”
— Isaiah 49:15 (NIV)

Devotional:

Sometimes it’s not the loud heartbreak that hurts the most—it’s the quiet fading.
You watch the texts slow down.
The room grows quiet.
The celebration happens without you.
No one reaches out.
No one sees what you’re carrying.

You wonder: Have I been forgotten?

It’s a deeper ache than loneliness.
It’s that sense that maybe your name has slipped from the hearts of the people you once mattered to.
Or worse… maybe even from God's.

But listen—He sees.
Not just the surface you show to others, but the entire, aching stretch of your soul.

And He speaks this over you with divine tenderness:

“I will not forget you.”

Even if others forget your needs, your prayers, your name…
God never has. And never will.

You are remembered in the heavenlies.
You are inscribed on the hands of the One who formed you.
You are loved beyond the visibility of this moment.

So if you feel invisible today, take heart:
You’re not missing.
You’re not overlooked.
You’re not forgotten.

You are fully known.
And still—fully loved.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
— Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)

He didn’t forget you then.
He hasn’t forgotten you now.
He never will.
