After prophesying his own betrayal and death, Christ told his disciples, \u201cI will pray the Father, and he will give you another Helper, that he may abide with you forever\u2014the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you\u201d (John 14:18, NKJV)<\/em>. The Greek word for orphans here could also be translated \u201cbereaved, fatherless.\u201d<\/p>\n

At times, you may feel as the disciples later did, that you\u2019re all alone, and God is not at work for you. You see no evidence of his care, and Satan lies to you that God\u2019s Spirit has left you for a season.<\/p>\n

One incredible miracle you cannot forget is Jesus\u2019s promise to all his followers: \u201cI will not leave you as an orphan. I paid a price for you, and you are mine!\u201d<\/p>\n

No matter what you are going through, your heavenly Father has never once abandoned you, and he never will. Listen to his eternal, unbreakable promise: \u201cBut Zion said, \u2018The Lord has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.\u2019 \u2018Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me…\u2019\u201d (Isaiah 49:14-16)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This passage tells us, \u201cYour need for protection is always before my eyes. There is never a moment when I am unconcerned about keeping my supernatural walls secure around you. My protective hedge is always there.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have known some mothers, including pastors\u2019 wives, who have abandoned their children. A pastor wrote to us, \u201cI\u2019ve been married for twenty-five years, but my wife recently left me for some man she met through the internet. She just walked out on our children and me. I still love her and want her to come home, but she won\u2019t. I hurt so badly right now, I can\u2019t sleep. I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

God answers this man, \u201cEven your beloved wife may abandon you, but I never will. My walls around you will always be secure.\u201d He will not leave us comfortless!<\/p>\n
