Isaiah 49:14-16 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me.” “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; Your walls are ever before me.”

Commentary:

In prayer, we often describe our solutions to God and wait for His response. When there is no response, human nature is to blame it on God. However, it is not God who is forgetful. His memory is described as exceeding all human understanding. Therefore, we should focus our prayers on the will of God and His plan, standing in faith that we do not forsake Him.
