Why does God allow His people to feel alone during trials?

Answered in 1 source

God allows His people to feel alone in trials to teach them that their ultimate reliance must be on Him alone.

The sermon highlights that the sense of isolation in trials is an opportunity for believers to depend solely on God's faithfulness. The disciples experienced a storm without Jesus' immediate presence, which allowed them to feel their vulnerability and realize they could not save themselves. This situation is a rich teaching moment; it drives us to the understanding that our strength lies not in our abilities but in trusting God. His seeming absence reminds us of our constant need for Him and highlights His promise of never truly forsaking us, regardless of our feelings.
