We often pray for God not to forsake us in times of trial and temptation, but we forget to use this prayer always. Every moment, holy or not, requires His constant support. Whether in light or darkness, in communion or struggle, we need to pray, "Lord, don't forsake me." "Hold me up, and I will be safe." Just as a child learning to walk needs help, and a ship without its pilot quickly strays off course, we need support from above.

Today, let your prayer be, "Don't forsake me. Father, don't leave your child, or I'll fall to the enemy. Shepherd, don't abandon your lamb, or I'll stray from safety. Great Gardener, don't neglect your plant, or it will wither and die.

Lord, don't forsake me now or ever. Don't leave me in joy, so it doesn't consume my heart. Don't leave me in sorrow, so I don't complain against You. Don't leave me in repentance, so I don't lose hope and despair.

Don't leave me even in my strongest faith, so it doesn't turn into pride. Without You, I'm weak; with You, I'm strong. My path is dangerous, full of traps, and I can't navigate it without Your guidance. The hen doesn't forsake her chicks; cover me with Your feathers, let me find refuge under Your wings. Don't be far from me, Lord, for trouble is near, and there's no one to help. Don't leave or forsake me, God of my salvation." "O always in our cleansed heart, May Your Eternal Spirit rest. Make our hidden soul a temple pure and worthy of You."
