God always remembers you. Always. And He is always present, always close. If you can't locate Him in your loss, His comforting presence can be found in His Word. If you can't see Him as you suffer sadness, His promised presence prevails in you through your Baptism. If you feel He is too far away when your heart is broken, He steps into your life over and over again in His Holy Meal, inviting you to "take and eat, take and drink" His body and His blood for your strength and forgiveness.
I appreciate how the author, Michael W. Newman, focuses our attention on those places where we can be sure that God is near to us - Scriptures, Baptism, Lord's Supper. Where can you find these things for sure? Worship! See why being in church every Sunday is so important? God doesn't forget you but invites you to be about these various means in which He comes to you with to bring peace and love.
