Though we are slaves, our God has not forsaken us in our bondage, but He has extended to us grace in the sight of the kings of Persia, giving us new life to rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, and giving us a wall of protection in Judah and Jerusalem. — Ezra 9:9

Our God has not forsaken us—it can feel that way when trials come, but God disciplines those he loves and tests those he's chosen, and he will not forsake his people for his great name's sake. Can a mother forget her nursing child? Even if she could, i will not forget you. Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob; the Lord will bring justice for his elect who cry out to him day and night, and he will do it quickly.
