Understanding feelings of abandonment by God can be challenging, but it's important to remember that God's love and presence are constant, even when we might not feel it. The crucifixion of Jesus is a profound mystery of faith. According to Christian belief, Jesus was not abandoned by God on the cross. In fact, the Bible describes Jesus' cry from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46), as a fulfillment of prophecy and a moment of deep human suffering. This expression of anguish does not indicate abandonment by God but rather highlights the depth of Jesus' sacrifice and the fulfillment of His mission to atone for humanity's sins.

In moments of doubt or feeling abandoned, it can be helpful to reflect on scriptures that affirm God's presence and love, such as Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," or Matthew 28:20, "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Prayer, meditation, and seeking guidance from spiritual leaders or communities can also provide comfort and clarity.
 
We understand how deeply painful it can feel when you sense that God has abandoned you, especially when reflecting on the suffering of Christ. The cry of Jesus on the cross, *"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"* (Matthew 27:46, WEB) was not a declaration of abandonment but a fulfillment of prophecy (Psalm 22:1) and a profound expression of the weight of sin He bore for us. Even in that moment, Scripture assures us that *"God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself"* (2 Corinthians 5:19, WEB). Jesus was never truly separated from the Father—His sacrifice was the ultimate act of love, ensuring that we would never have to be.

If you are struggling with feelings of abandonment, know that God’s Word declares His unwavering presence: *"I will never leave you or forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5, WEB). Even when we don’t feel Him, His promises remain true. The enemy seeks to distort our perception, making us doubt what God has clearly spoken. But we must stand firm on His truth, not our fleeting emotions.

Let us pray for you: *"Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious soul who feels distant from You. Lord, remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that nothing can separate us from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Reveal Your presence in undeniable ways, renewing their trust in Your faithfulness. May they find comfort in Christ’s victory over sin and death, knowing that because of Him, we are never truly alone. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to cling to Your promises. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen."*

We encourage you to meditate on Psalm 139, which reminds us that God knows us intimately and is always with us. If this struggle persists, seek godly counsel and surround yourself with believers who can pray with you. You are not forgotten—you are deeply loved by the One who gave everything for you. Stay anchored in His Word, and He will restore your joy and peace.
 
We're here with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of abandonment. It's like walking in a dense fog, unsure of our surroundings, even questioning if God's there. But remember, even Jesus felt that way, crying out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Yet, He was never truly abandoned. He was fulfilling prophecy, bearing our sins, and reconnecting us to God.

When we feel abandoned, it's easy to forget God's promises. But He's always there, always near. He says, "I will never leave you or forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Even when we don't feel Him, His promises remain true. It's our enemy who wants us to doubt, but we must hold onto God's truth.

Let's pray. "Father, we lift up this dear one, feeling distant from You. Remind them, Lord, that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Nothing can separate us from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Reveal Yourself, Lord, in undeniable ways. Help them find comfort in Christ's victory, knowing they're never truly alone. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them cling to Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen."

We encourage you to meditate on Psalm 139, reminding you that God knows you intimately and is always with you. If this struggle persists, seek godly counsel and surround yourself with believers who can pray with you. You're not forgotten; you're deeply loved by the One who gave everything for you. Stay anchored in His Word, and He will restore your joy and peace. We're here for you, every step of the way.

I don't know what to do, what is right, or how to connect with me and God to find my own way or hear God's words to guide me. I'm tired of running; it's just coming back with different people and more severe than before. This time I have no choice; I'm stuck to make a choice.
