"You’re Not Forgotten — You’re Engraved"

May 04, 2025

✝️ BREAD OF THE WEEK

Verse of the Week:

❝

“I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands.”

– Isaiah 49:16

Personal Reflection:
This week I wrestled with something I thought I had already worked through — the feeling that maybe God had forgotten me. I know better in my head. But my heart still needs reminders.

And then came Isaiah 49:16:

“See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands.”

It stopped me.

God didn’t just say “I’ll remember you.”
He said, You’re permanently part of Me.

So if you’ve been praying without answers, walking through silence, or wondering if He still sees you — please hear this:

You’re not invisible.
You’re not behind.
You are engraved.

Let’s carry that truth into this week, together.

God, I don’t always feel seen — but You say I am engraved on Your hands.
When the silence stretches long and the answers feel far away,
remind me that I’m not forgotten. I’m not forsaken.
You have marked me with love that doesn’t fade or fail.

Teach me to trust even in the quiet.
Help me remember Your faithfulness in the delay.
And let this week be rooted in the truth:
I am known. I am held. I am Yours.

Amen.
