God is with you - always

The promise repeated most often in Scripture is simply this: "I am with you." Not "I was" or "I will be someday," but now, in this quiet room, in this hard season - "lo, I am with you alway" (Matthew 28:20).

He has not forgotten you

Even if it feels like the world has moved on without you, God says, "I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands" (Isaiah 49:16). You are not out of sight or out of mind to Him.

When loneliness comes with caregiving or age
