When you climb into bed and feel completely forgotten, God offers a promise that holds you right in your grief.

In this 5-minute daily devotional, we explore the quiet ache of feeling distant from God when life feels undone. Drawing from Isaiah 49 and Charles H. Gabriel’s 1889 hymn "I Will Not Forget Thee," we look at what it means that God has written your name on the palms of His hands. Even when familiar Bible verses feel cold and sorrow lingers, God's remembrance never fails. Take comfort in a simple, practical habit to leave beside your bed tonight: a gentle reminder that God has not lost sight of you.
