5 Prayers to Pray When You Feel Forgotten
There are times in life when we feel forgotten by those around us. If you’re in a season where you feel overlooked and invisible, we encourage you to talk to God about it in prayer. If you’re not sure what to say, here are 5 prayers you can pray based on scripture.
Lord, I feel forgotten by the people around me and it hurts. But, Lord, you see all things…and I know you see me…and you know my pain. Please bring me your comfort and help me to know that you are near.
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8
“God, thank you for the reminder that you love me and you remember me like a mother remembers her child. I am yours, and I am not forgotten. You know my name…it is written on your hands! I trust that you will never let me go.“
Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Isaiah 49: 15-16a

God, I am in a trial right now and I might feel all alone…but I am not alone. You are with me and you see all things. You know all the things I’m walking through – even beyond what I can see! Please provide for me. Please give me all that I need to make it through today.
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
Jesus, I feel alone. I feel overlooked and forgotten and my heart is hurting. I know that you have been in that place, too. Bring me comfort. Give me reminders today of your love and show me that you haven’t abandoned me.
