Biblical Answer

The best way to handle feelings of abandonment by God is to surrender and abandon yourself to Him. When we feel abandoned by God, it's often because we're not surrendering to His will and are trying to control the situation. We need to recognize that God's ways are not our ways and that He is sovereign over all creation. We should appreciate His patience and learn to marvel at it, and seek grace to imitate it in our own lives. This surrender is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of letting go and trusting God with our lives.

When we feel abandoned, it's essential to examine our motives and inner hearts. Are we seeking God's will, or are we trying to get what we want from Him? Are we praying for something that would reinforce our ego or for a possession that we selfishly desire? We need to honestly confess our sins and turn our anger over to God, allowing Him to put us into a right-standing relationship with Him. This process can be difficult and humbling, but it's a necessary step in growing closer to God.

To overcome feelings of abandonment, we need to practice the presence of God. This means being mindful of God's presence in our lives and seeking Him with our whole heart. We need to narrow our focus and interests to this one thing and have faith that God will meet our needs. We should not be discouraged when we are rebuked by God, but rather, we should learn to fear and reverence Him. By surrendering to God and trusting in His sovereignty, we can overcome feelings of abandonment and grow in our faith. We should seek God's presence in our lives, and trust that He will meet us in our darkest moments. We should be willing to try new things and adopt new perspectives, and be open to God's guidance and correction. By doing so, we can learn to live with God's presence in our lives and find peace and joy in our relationship with Him.
