All 10 verses for when you feel rejected

The verse above rotates daily. Here is the whole set, each with its prayer.

1. “Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.”

   Isaiah 41:9 · KJV

   God, it hurts to feel pushed aside today. Remind me that you haven't turned away, even when people do. I don't need everyone's approval — just yours is enough some days. Help me believe that. Amen.

2. “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

   Isaiah 41:10 · KJV

   God, I feel a little abandoned right now. Thank you for saying you're with me, not just for me somewhere far off. I don't need to feel chosen by everyone. Just known by you. Amen.

3. “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.”

   Psalms 27:10 · KJV

   God, this rejection cuts closer than I want to admit. Thank you for the promise that even the closest kind of rejection doesn't leave me uncaught. You pick up what gets dropped. Pick this up, too. Amen.

4. “For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.”

   Isaiah 54:10 · KJV

   God, everything feels a little unstable after this. Thank you for saying your kindness outlasts even the mountains moving. Let that be steadier than how I feel right now. Hold the peace I can't hold myself. Amen.

5. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,”

   Romans 8:38 · KJV

   God, I needed the reminder that rejection from people isn't rejection from you. Thank you for a love that nothing on that whole list can touch. What happened today doesn't reach that far. Keep me close anyway. Amen.

6. “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

   Deuteronomy 31:6 · KJV

   God, I need courage more than comfort right now. Thank you for pairing strength with the promise you won't leave. Help me stand up straighter after this, not smaller. Stay, the way you said you would. Amen.

7. “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

   Hebrews 13:5 · KJV

   God, someone left today, and it's sitting heavy. Thank you for a promise that doesn't come with an expiration date or a bad mood. I'm holding onto never leave like it's the only sure thing right now. Be that sure thing. Amen.

8. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”

   John 6:37 · KJV

   God, I'm a little afraid you'll turn away too, if I'm honest. Thank you for saying whoever comes, you won't cast out — not even me, not even today. I'm coming as I am, rejection and all. Don't send me away. Amen.

9. “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.”

   Isaiah 49:15 · KJV

   God, I feel forgotten by someone who should have remembered me. Thank you for a love that's described as stronger than even that bond. I don't want to measure my worth by who left. Measure it by you instead. Amen.

10. “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,”

    1 Peter 2:4 · KJV

    God, I was turned down by people today. Thank you for saying that's not the same as being turned down by you. What looks disallowed to them still looks precious to you. Let that be what settles in me tonight. Amen.
