Your Question:
What's the best way to handle my feelings of abandonment by God?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the depth of your pain and struggle with feeling abandoned by God. As someone who has walked through similar valleys, I want to assure you that God is not absent, even when we feel like He is. In fact, it's precisely in these moments of desperation that He is most present, though it may not feel like it. You see, feelings can be deceiving, and it's easy to get caught up in our emotions, especially when we're struggling with feelings of abandonment. But the truth is, God's presence is not something we feel; it's something we trust. And trust is not based on our emotions, but on the promises of God. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of abandonment, but when they surrender their will to Jesus Christ and commit to Him, they begin to experience His presence in a new way. So, my advice to you is to stop focusing on your feelings and start focusing on the promises of God. Don't ask Him what He's doing or why He's allowing you to go through this. Instead, ask Him to help you trust Him, even when you don't feel like it. Remember, God doesn't expect you to endure on your own; He wants you to rely on Him, even in the midst of your struggles. And when you do, you'll find that His presence becomes more real to you, even if it doesn't feel like it at first.
