The 7 Last Sayings From The Cross
THE FOURTH SAYING FROM THE CROSS
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
— Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34

Thought Of The Day...
In this piercing cry from the cross, we witness one of the most profound and mysterious moments in all of Scripture. Jesus, the Son of God, who had always been in perfect unity with the Father, now expresses a deep sense of abandonment.
This was not weakness—it was fulfillment.
Jesus was echoing Psalm 22, a prophetic passage that begins in anguish but ends in victory. In this moment, He carried the full weight of humanity’s sin. The separation we deserved, He experienced. The silence we fear, He endured.
For the first time, the One who knew no sin felt the distance caused by sin.
And yet—even in His pain—He still cried, “My God, My God…”
Notice He did not say “God” alone, but “My God.”
Even in the silence, the relationship remained.

There are moments in our lives when God feels distant—when prayers seem unanswered, when pain lingers, and when heaven feels quiet. But this saying reminds us:
• Feeling forsaken does not mean you are forsaken.
• Silence does not mean absence.
• God is still present—even when He seems hidden.
Jesus entered that dark place so that you would never have to stay there.
Because He was “forsaken” for a moment, you are never forsaken forever.

Something to Think About...
Are you in a season where God feels distant?
Can you still call Him “My God” even when you don’t feel Him?
Faith is not the absence of questions—it’s holding on in the middle of them.

Prayer...
Father, in moments when I feel alone or abandoned, remind me of the cross. Remind me that Jesus endured separation so I could live in constant connection with You. Help me to trust You even in silence and cling to You even in pain. You are still my God—no matter how I feel. Amen.

Declaration...
I am never truly forsaken.
God is with me—even in silence.
Through Christ, I am always held, always seen, and always loved.
