Biblical Answer

Understanding the Feeling of Abandonment

The feeling of being abandoned by God can be a difficult and painful experience. It can stem from a variety of factors, including unresolved issues, a lack of trust in God's sovereignty, or a preoccupation with death. When we feel abandoned, we may question God's existence, power, or love. We may even derive a perverse satisfaction from considering the means of suicide. However, this feeling can be a lie, and we must not give in to it. Instead, we should seek to understand the root causes of our feelings and confront our reservations about God.

Seeking God in the Midst of Abandonment

When we feel abandoned, it can be challenging to seek God. However, it is essential to focus on our relationship with Him, rather than our circumstances. We must recognize that God is seeking us more than we are seeking Him. As someone once said, "When I was looking for God, He found me." When we look beyond the roadblocks in the road to God, we will find Him. We must also acknowledge that our feelings can lie, and that God has not abandoned us. Instead, He has particular interest in those who have been sinned against, neglected, or abandoned. We must focus on our relationship with God and seek Him with our whole heart.

Confronting Our Reservations

To overcome the feeling of abandonment, we must confront our reservations about God. We must recognize the things we are putting ahead of God and be willing to surrender them. We must also acknowledge that suffering can encourage us to lean on God and develop character. By seeking God with our whole heart, we will find Him, and our lives will be transformed. We will no longer be preoccupied with death or divorce, but instead, we will find joy and satisfaction in our relationship with Him. We will understand that seeking after God is more important and satisfying than finding short-term happiness in worldly things.
