We are the ones that usually leave God, it is never God that will abandon any of us. Believing in God is not based on any emotions or will. It is always based on faith. We also have to remember that we are made up of flesh as well spirit. And that the flesh is always the enemy of our spirits, always. Thats why we must crucify our flesh daily, it will be a life long thing that we must do all the days of our lives. And as we do we will draw closer to God in ways that we will never know until me try it. I for one go through some of the things that have been described in this thread, and still at times go through it, but there is always something within each day that compels me to go forth even if its just for another day. Climbing a mountain isn't easy but it is do-able even if we only take one step. All things are subject to change, and they usually do. Patience is a must for any of us walking out life in any form, with God as our help we need to embrace not only patience but to hold unto that small seed of faith no matter how small it may appear to us to be, its still there.

PS: For without faith it is impossible to please God.....let me also add this: you feel you dont have faith, get rid of those feelings because faith needs no feelings in order to possess it!!!!!!!
