Forsaken

When Jesus was on the cross. He said quote in Matthew 27, “My God, My God, why hast you forsaken me?” When we look over Job and his situations you have this wise servant who doesn’t want to take negative to the lord but he probably had a bit of forsaken on his heart. The moment he shaved his head and fell to the ground in worship. He was making the surrendering to the Lord with an understanding he had nothing else to lose nor to gain. Naked he came out from his mother womb and naked he will leave. After reading that I feel he definitely had a good deal of forsaken on his heart to come before the Lord as such. It is important to consider doing the Prayer of Examen Richard Foster share in chapter three of his book. An examen of consciousness through which we discover how God has been present to us throughout the day and how we have responded to his loving presence. (Foster, p. 27) It is the means God uses to make us more aware of our surroundings. (Foster, p. 28) It is also one way we heed the call to rehearse the mighty deeds of God under God supervision. (Foster…

“Isn’t it ironic how the earth would thrive without us, [humans], but we would not survive without the earth?” Yet, we still manage to choose non-sustainable products and lifestyles regardless of its repercussions in our habitat because it is more convenient way to live. It is undebatable that nature is a beautiful thing, and when it is destroyed, unlike various things in the modern world that can be easily replaced, we can not replace nature. It also undeniable that we have caused great damage…

500 years later, Jesus would also be God’s servant. They both were loved by God, but there was one thing different. Psalms 22:1 says, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?” This is what David asked God in his time of pain. In the end, God never had forsaken David. God will never leave anyone, but there was an exception that God probably did not want to make. In Matthew 27:46 it says, “And about the ninth hour Jesus…

the social world: “the Intrigue being a Secret, my Disgrace will be so too: - - I shall hear no Whispers as I pass, - she is Forsaken: - the odious word Forsaken will never wound my ears; nor will my Wrongs excite either the Mirth or Pity of the talking World” (232). In other words, the young lady expresses relief that her disguise as Fantomina and the concealment of her true identity will protect her from the gossip and judgement of the surrounding social world. When using the phrase ‘social…

The virus started off small, isolated, but before we knew what was happening, it had started to spread. Those effected were called the forsaken. Once infected, they became viscous uncontrollable creatures. I was one of the lucky few, to live far enough from where the outbreak started, allowing us time to prepare. The walls were built to keep the healthy in and the forsaken out. People lived in fear, only leaving their homes when they desperately needed too. Of course, I hadn’t even been born…

dealt with several Forsaken Patrols. Now, night was upon them. Cladriah turned back to Archmage Raoul, Gavin the Malefic, and Commander Jonathan Mathews. Commander Mathews was a trusted ally and friend. He was loyal…

the culture.” This quote by Alejandro Jodorowsky talks about how living in an imperfect world will impact us as people, though the quote doesn’t talk about dystopias directly, the genre is an example of how the world around us affects our minds. Though written in 2 extremely different dystopias, Flawed by Cecilia Ahern and Forsaken by Lisa M. Stasse demonstrate an originally accepted hero, who later fights an overbearing government that takes control of the citizens lives. One similarity…

right to see this passage as one of utter hopelessness. For no one was found worthy to open the scroll. But, if hope appears as nonhope, that is, as a renunciation of faith in oneself or one’s group in favor of faith in the One who is wholly Other (cf. Rom. 4:18); then what John of Patmos is modeling is not a weeping of utter hopelessness but of lamentation. In a state of lament, all modes of self-reliance cease, as we acknowledge our powerlessness to effect total change to the aporia that…

In a world where women’s opinions are often discarded and demeaned, poetry offers opportunity for feminists to express their ideas within the metaphors and images of this art form. The poems “Now Let No Charitable Hope” by Elinor Morton Wylie and “The Forsaken Wife” by Elizabeth Thomas use the feminist lens to express the oppression the speakers face. The first poem through the tone of resigned acceptance and the latter through a tone of bitter spitefulness. Though the poems lie two hundred…

Hello! Would you please turn to Psalms 22:1 “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” David cried this out when he was in a time of distress and felt abandoned.
