What does the Bible say about being forsaken by God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible expresses feelings of forsakenness, particularly in Psalm 22, where the psalmist cries out to God in a time of distress.

The sentiments of being forsaken by God are vividly portrayed in Psalm 22, particularly in verses like, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' This psalm captures the anguish of the speaker who feels distant from God's deliverance. Yet, it also emphasizes the faithfulness of God, as it recalls how the fathers of Israel trusted Him and were delivered. This demonstrates that feelings of abandonment can coexist with a deep-rooted faith in God's ultimate sovereignty and care.
