What does the Bible say about feeling forsaken by God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible acknowledges that even believers may feel forgotten by God, but it assures us that He will never actually forsake us.

In Isaiah 49, the Lord addresses feelings of abandonment when He says, 'Yet will I not forget thee.' Even David expressed this sentiment in Psalm 77, questioning whether God's mercy would end. Scripture consistently reassures us that in the midst of trials, when we feel most distant from God, He remains ever-present and faithful. Believers are warned not to be surprised by afflictions, as they are a common experience, but we are also reminded that God's love and care endure even when we cannot see it.
