Your Question:
why do i feel so abandoned by god?
Answer:
I can sense the weight of your feelings, my friend. It's as if you've come to a place where you feel abandoned by God. You're wondering if He's even present in your life. I want you to know that I've been there too, in my own struggles with faith. It's a dark and lonely place, but I want to encourage you to look at it from a different perspective. You see, when we feel abandoned by God, it's often because we've lost sight of our reliance on Him. We start to rely on worldly opinion and our own strength, rather than trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. It's a subtle shift, but it can have devastating consequences. We begin to feel like we're a burden to our loved ones, and that they'd be better off without us. But that's a lie, my friend. You are loved, you are valued, and you are needed. I want to remind you that feelings can lie. Just because you feel abandoned by God doesn't mean that He's actually abandoned you. In fact, it's often in those darkest moments that God is working in our lives, refining us and drawing us closer to Himself. So, I want to encourage you to surrender to God, to trust in His goodness and sovereignty, even when it feels like He's absent. It's a hard thing to do, but it's the only way to experience true freedom and joy.
