The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You said in Deuteronomy 31 that You would never leave me or give up on me. I am scared of being left. By friends. By groups. By people I love. People leave. They move. They stop liking me. They stop messaging back. That fear has been with me as long as I can remember. But You do not leave. Let that promise be solid ground under me. Not a fix. Not a cure. Just something that holds even when the fear comes. I will trust that You stay. Amen.
