Feeling abandoned — by a parent, a friend, a partner — cuts at something deep, the sense that you weren't worth staying for. Scripture doesn't rush past that pain; David wrote of being forsaken by his own father and mother, naming it directly before finding anywhere to land.
What follows that admission is a promise, not a platitude: "then the LORD will take me up." Not instead of the pain, but in the middle of it — a presence that specifically fills the gap other people leave.
