But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!” “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you! Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.”
Perhaps you prayed about something weeks ago, and nothing seems to have moved. The job is still uncertain, or the person you hoped would reach out still hasn't. When you are new to faith, that kind of quiet can feel like a verdict, as if God heard you once and then turned his attention to people who matter more.
