Psalm 138:8 English Standard Version (ESV) The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.

The last sentence is a prayer for God not to forget us. God is not like us, He does not forget. In many ways these prayers are meant more to be a reminder to us of what God is doing in us because we are the ones who tend to forget.

We know God’s love is an enduring love. Steadfast is an indication of being consistent during this life we live. It doesn’t always feel that way. Unpleasant circumstances can draw our attention away from the good that is happening even in the midst of sorrows.

This is why we need to remind ourselves that God does not fail in anything to which He has put His hand.

2 Corinthians 9:8 English Standard Version (ESV) And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency^{[contentment]} in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Grace abounds in all things at all times, even if we do not see it, and especially if we do not feel it.

The footnote to sufficiency says contentment. I added that because understand that God deems this grace sufficient even if we lose focus on God’s purpose for us. We are flesh and we feel the pangs of hunger, we thirst when dehydrated. We ache with exertion, and our minds fail to remember because the mind itself is flesh.

This is why we need to remind ourselves of who God is as our Lord and Savior. His character does not change, His purpose does not change, His love endures and we need to remind ourselves of that fact.

He is not thru with us.
