perfect piety

As I drove home from counseling today, I saw a billboard outside of a church. The sign read: HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.

And I couldn't help but think that being molested in my parents' bed, and being dragged into a darkened alley and raped and left for dead, and crying in a downstairs bathroom, watching my first and then my second child leave my body as blood, instead of babies, feels like 'FORSAKEN' to me.
