Comfort & Not Alone
Hebrews 13:5
When Christ feels far away. Lord Jesus, when You feel distant, when prayer feels empty, remind me of Your promise: I will never leave you. You are at the Father's right hand, holding me close. Draw near to me again. From the Letter to the Hebrews. Amen.
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
— Hebrews 13:5
Hebrews 13:5 comes near the end of a letter written to encourage believers who were wavering in their faith, possibly under pressure to abandon it. The promise quoted there, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you,' echoes God's words to Joshua as he prepared to lead Israel without Moses for the first time — a promise of presence handed down across generations of uncertain, frightened people. This prayer applies that ancient assurance to a very modern experience: the sense that Christ has gone quiet, that prayer feels like talking into an empty room. It doesn't deny the feeling of distance; it names the promise that stands true regardless of what a person feels in the moment. This is a prayer for the dry, silent seasons of faith when God feels absent rather than near.
A new voiced prayer each day — for the morning, the commute, the sleepless 3 a.m.
