Never.

Never. The following words or phrases are synonyms for the word "Never": "At no time, don't hold your breath, forget it, nevermore, no way, not at all, not ever, not in any condition, etc..," (From Thesaurus.com)

Those words and phrases state that the subject at hand is an impossible task. The word "Never" has a finality to it. "Never" is definitely not "Maybe", "Sometime" or even "One day". It's never. Not gonna happen, ain't possible, nope, no way.

Regardless of what is going on in your life. No matter how high you are on the mountaintop or how low you are in the valley, the scriptures say that God will never forsake you. It doesn't matter how rough and tough you've had it. God didn't forsake you when you lost your loved one. God didn't forsake you when you were sick and hurting. God didn't forsake you when you were unemployed. God didn't forsake you. Why? Because, He said He wouldn't, and He is incapable of lying (Hebrews 6:18). Do we understand the tough times that come our way? Of course not, but all I know is that God cannot lie and that He said He would never forsake me. Hang in there.

Psalms 37:23-28

23
The LORD makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the LORD upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing.b]">[b]

27 Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the LORD loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
