The LORD will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.

Psalm 138:8

AS WOMEN, one of our greatest fears can be the termination of a cherished relationship. Whether abandonment comes through rejection, death, or divorce, we fear being left alone. One of the hardest consequences of being abandoned is the threat to our self-worth. How comforting it is to know that God will never leave us. We know this because he promises it repeatedly in his Word. Take heart that the one who loves you the most will never abandon you.
