Biblical Answer

If you feel that God has abandoned you, then you believe that he actually has. Nothing will persuade you otherwise. In other words, feelings can lie. Do you see the progression? You have a thought, a feeling, a conviction that God has abandoned you. You show that you have not surrendered and that you do not really trust God. But once you do surrender, you will no longer think about what God is going to do. Abandonment means to refuse yourself the luxury of asking any questions.

If you feel abandoned by God, it is essential to recognize that you have not surrendered and that you do not really trust God. The enemy of our soul often uses feelings to manipulate us into questioning God's presence or goodness. However, God is always present, even in the midst of trials and difficulties. He takes up our struggles and uses them for our growth and transformation. Our God is a God who not merely restores, but takes up our failures and makes them into something beautiful.

If you feel that God has abandoned you, it is crucial to examine your heart and motivations. Are you trying to avoid God or His presence in your life? Are you hiding from Him because of your past mistakes or failures? Or are you seeking to understand His ways and will? God is always seeking to draw us closer to Himself, to reveal His love and acceptance to us. He comes where He commands us to leave. If you stayed home when God told you to go because you were so concerned about your own people, then you actually robbed them of the teaching of Jesus Christ Himself. When you obeyed and left all behind, you may have found that God was with you, guiding and leading you every step of the way. Remember, God is always with us, even when we feel abandoned. We must learn to trust Him and surrender our fears and doubts to Him. Only then can we experience His presence and love in our lives.
