When You Feel Disconnected From God

Sometimes, it feels like God has betrayed us.

“About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’” (Matthew 27:46, NASB)

Sometimes, it’s not so stark as all that; sometimes, it’s more like God just seems absent. Maybe he’s busy with someone else. Maybe he doesn’t have time for me.

“My eyes fail, looking for your promise; I say, ‘When will you comfort me?’” (Psalm 119:82, NIV)
