why has God abandoned me

God didn't abandon you...You have to have faith and love; Love will come when you allow it in your heart. Follow God's commandments, do good to others, forgive yourself and others who hurt you, be thankful everyday, read your bible, talk to God, and pray. Let love come in your heart and good things will happen to you. I forgave everyone who hurt me and myself; I feel wonderful. Do it right now! If you need someone to talk to add me as a friend, or e-mail me.You have to fight Depression; Don't let it fight you.

i feel abandoned too. lost and lonely.

Whenever I've been in that situation, I see it as a flag to pay a little more attention to the world around me, how I'm walking in life, and God.

When I'm alone, I open my heart and let out all my emotions to God in prayer - even the ugly emotions because God already knows it's there. I lay it all out on the table and ask him for help in understanding whatever lesson is being taught. I pray for the spiritual strength to endure the lesson. I pray for the physical and emotional strength to endure my days out in the world in a good way that would make God proud of the way I walk in life - regardless of the cards I've been dealt with in life.

Nothing in life is guaranteed. All we have is right now, and the chance to make our tomorrows better somehow. Life will always be ugly and beautiful at the same time.

When life gets too ugly for you, try to find a little beauty and say "Hello" to God.

No matter how hard we pray, GOD certainly takes his time. Don't worry. Look around you - the flowers are blooming, the sky is blue, your family is still there. Look at people or things that you have. Why be sad when people around you love you. Stop being sad.

thought i'd share this with you.,,
once i went to church one night, kind of randomly since i didn't often go, and the topic was this very one. they had us write a "dear god..." letter. I burst into tears and raged at god - how could all these things be allowed to happen... and once my anger had been spilled, i asked how god could possibly take me back.
then i went to the following healing support group - and it was the goddess who answered me. opened loving arms to me and took me in. the group had played Bobby McFerrin's 23rd psalm which is "The Lord's Prayer" in the feminine. and i sobbed and sobbed. then they played it again and i sobbed some more.

i feel kind of the same way i have major depression feel sad alot and feel like no one cares and i feel like god is puniching me to but i still pray and keep my head up the things i like to do my don't so i don't do them much like cars trucks racing and coin collecting and most important God well its been nice chatting God bless

lostandlonley:
All things happen for a reason. God has not abandoned you nor will He ever. You sound like you are being to hard on yourself. I have that problem too. One day you will find someone who accepts you for who you are. Just try to enjoy life between now and then. Love yourself most of all.
