FORSAKEN BY GOD

[Kienyui]

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest.

I feel despised and rejected, abused and slandered, misunderstood and forgotten. I have been wondering why God seems to be doing nothing to protect and defend me. Does Jesus knows what i feel?

Do you really believe God has forsaken you? I mean, really...You sound nothing like Christians that I have known in deep trials and tribulations, including several who were in prison in the USSR, and even in the death camps in Germany.  The Bible tells us that God will NEVER leave us or forsake us if we're truly saved.

I have tried not to think of God's absence I can't stand it. I have tried to deepen myself in his world but quite often I can't hold but feeling lonely, abandoned and rejected

If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation - believing He paid the complete penalty for your sins when He shed His blood and died on the cross for you, and you have received His free gift of salvation by faith alone - then He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. There are MANY passages that state this principle. I am sorry you are struggling, but we are to walk by faith, not by sight or feelings. Get in the Bible, find those promises that fit your life, claim them and cling to them by faith. Don't let feelings dictate to your faith and affect your spiritual walk negatively. That will only get you into trouble.

Isaiah 50:10-11 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

Trust in the Lord, even in the darkness - see how other Bible writers dealt with struggles like this, especially in the Psalms. Follow the end of their faith, their example.

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

The Holy Spirit is for you and is interceding for You:

Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

God the Father is for you. He met your greatest need - spiritual life and forgiveness, reconciliation with Him. He will not abandon you now:

Romans 8:31-32 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

The Lord Jesus Christ is for you and is interceding for you too:

Romans 8:33-34 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Nothing in all this world, in all creation, in all eternity, can separate your from Him or His love:

Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
