In Psalm 13, David questions God as to how long he must endure the trials he is facing. Then David relays his trust in God. Psalm 13:5-6 (NASB) “But I have trusted in Your loving kindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.”
God’s loving kindness, according to the Holman Bible Dictionary, is “The Old Testament’s highest expression for love…It is a love which remains constant regardless of the circumstances.” We have the promise of Jesus (recorded in Matthew 28:19-20 19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.") that emphasizes that He is always with us.
Thank you, Lord, for your love and presence, even when we don’t recognize it.

Great thought. I saw the truth of what you said as I visited Guatemala this week. He is ever present for the orphans.
