Your Question:
Why do I feel so abandoned by God when I need Him most?
Answer:
When you feel abandoned by God, it's often a sign that you're not surrendering to Him. You may be holding onto your own desires and plans, rather than trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness. This can lead to feelings of frustration and disillusionment, as if God has abandoned you. However, the Bible teaches that God is always seeking those who have been sinned against, neglected, or abandoned (Jer. 23:1-8). He has a purpose in your life, and you are His ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20). So, what's keeping you from God? Are there unvoiced frustrations or doubts in your relationship with Him? Speak them to Him and trust in His goodness at all times (Psalm 37:3-7). Remember that God is seeking you more than you are seeking Him (Luke 15:10). When you look beyond the roadblocks in the road to God, you'll find that He is always present and working in your life, even when you can't see it. It's possible that you're focusing on the wrong things, like your own successes or failures, rather than trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. When you're struggling with feelings of abandonment, ask yourself if you're truly surrendering to God or if you're holding onto your own desires. Remember that God gives you the gift of His presence, but it's not a permanent gift (Deuteronomy 31:6). He will leave you, but only to take you to a place of greater trust and dependence on Him. Don't let your doubts and fears hold you back from surrendering to God's plan for your life. Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him (Matthew 7:7-8).
