“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”Hebrews 13:5 KJV
I Will Never Leave Thee by Laurene Scott, front cover

You have been left by someone.

You have not been left without Someone.

You May Recognize Yourself Here

Abandonment does not always look the same.

You may have been left by a spouse, forgotten by family, unsupported during illness, rejected by people you trusted, or left to carry responsibilities alone.

01

A relationship ended

A spouse, parent, child, friend, or person you trusted chose not to remain.

02

You faced hardship without support

Illness, grief, transition, work, or responsibility left you wondering who would stand with you.

03

You were present—but unseen

You were not physically alone, yet you felt forgotten, dismissed, unheard, or emotionally unsupported.

04

You carried everyone else

You showed up for others and discovered there was no person standing beside you when you needed care.

This devotional does not make human abandonment harmless. It turns the reader toward the Lord who remains.

The God Who Remains

Human abandonment is real. It does not become your identity.

This devotional does not deny the pain of human abandonment. The Word of God does not require us to call a wound harmless. It teaches us where the wound must not be allowed to rule.

These thirty Scriptures show the Lord remaining, receiving, keeping, guiding, sustaining, remembering, preserving, comforting, and upholding His people.

Each day contains

  • One King James Version passage
  • A devotional thought
  • A prayer
  • A declaration

Thirty Written Promises

A scriptural map of the opposite of abandonment.

01

He goes with thee

02

He will keep thee

03

The LORD will take me up

04

I will uphold thee

05

I will not leave you comfortless

06

The Lord stood with me

I Will Not Leave You Comfortless

John 14:16-18

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”

Christ spoke these words as His disciples faced the thought of His departure. He did not dismiss their sorrow. He promised the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who would abide with them for ever. The comfort Christ gives is joined to truth. It does not numb the mind, excuse sin, or create a false story to avoid pain. The Spirit comforts by bringing the words and presence of Christ near, correcting our thinking, and assuring us that we are not spiritual orphans. “I will not leave you comfortless” means Christ understands the vulnerability created by separation. He answers it with abiding presence. When comfort is needed, seek more than temporary relief. Ask for the comfort that agrees with truth and leads you back into obedience.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for not leaving me comfortless. Let the Spirit of truth correct, console, and guide me. Give me comfort that draws me nearer to You and strengthens obedience. Amen.

Today’s declaration: I am not comfortless; the Spirit of truth abides with me.
