Sometimes we feel like we’re forgotten—as if the world could go on without us. It might not be intentional, but we’re treated like we’re invisible from our friends, family, spouse, co-workers…

And while we know logically and mentally that that’s not true, our emotions can be slow to grasp and hold on to truth.

Here is a list of Bible verses from my personal Bible that have helped me remember that I am not forgotten by the One who matters most: God.

He has made promise after promise to remember us, and I hope that these verses encourage you that you are not forgotten or invisible.

All verses are from the New American Standard Bible.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 6:10

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, by having served and by still serving the saints.
