Why Do I Feel Like I'm Being Abandoned by God?

Feeling abandoned by God can be a difficult and painful experience. It's a common feeling, but not a biblical one. The Bible teaches us that God is always present and actively working in our lives, even when we can't see it or feel it. However, when we're struggling with feelings of abandonment, it's often because we're not surrendering ourselves to God. We're not abandoning our own plans and desires, and instead, we're trying to control our circumstances and figure things out on our own.

The Bible says, "Abandon yourself to Him, and He will give you your life as a prize" (Psalm 37:4). When we abandon ourselves to God, we open ourselves up to His presence and power. We begin to see that He is working in our lives, even when we can't see it. We start to trust Him, even when we don't understand what's happening. But when we're not surrendering ourselves to God, we're not trusting Him, and we're not seeing the roadblocks in the road as opportunities to see God at work. We're focusing on our own strength and our own plans, rather than on God's power and His plans.

So, why do I feel like I'm being abandoned by God? It's often because I'm not surrendering myself to Him. I'm not trusting Him, and I'm not seeing the roadblocks in the road as opportunities to see God at work. I'm focusing on my own strength and my own plans, rather than on God's power and His plans. But when I abandon myself to God, I begin to see that He is working in my life, even when I can't see it. I start to trust Him, even when I don't understand what's happening. And I begin to live the life God has designed for me, rather than trying to live my own life according to my own plans and desires. When I do this, I find that my feelings of abandonment begin to fade, and I start to see God's presence and power in my life.
