Of course I've had 'moments' when I 'felt' that way. But my faith is not based on what I feel, but rather on what I know. And I know God promised He would never forsake me. And God does not lie.

In my weaker moments, yes, I have. Then I think back and realize how at each point down that path that brought me to that forsaken moment, I was the one who forsook God's teachings. More and more I find that what I suffer from is nothing more than a consequence of my own actions and that God guides me in the right direction many times - the only times I falter are the ones that I didn't listen.

Yes, but as I have studied the bible more and spend more time in prayer, I have come to realize that He has not forsaken me ever. Sometimes I don't feel His presence as strongly as others, but He is always there. I have His promise from scripture that He will be with us always, even to the end of the world.

Yes, when I had carpal tunnel in a very severe form in both of my arms and it robbed me of my sleep for night after night with no end in sight.
After the third night , I got so mad at the devil , that I told him, that if he afflicted me with any more pain, that I would start praying my town to be saved , then my state , then the US and then all Europe and then the whole world.
I wasn't finished with the prayer yet , when the pain suddenly stopped . And it never returned that night or the next.
But when the pain was so intense , I really questioned God there for a minute.I almost lost it !!!

Yes i have but i don't beat up myself for it. God and I just work it out together. Its not that bad, even Jesus felt that way at some point but the good thing is when you are able to take yourself out of that state. Its not always easy but its worth it in the end.
God has a way of surprising you when you least expects it. Sometimes i just smile and say " you crack me up!" and laugh my head off. Its good to know Him.
God bless

Yes I've had a few. But so far things have worked out. See Romans 8:28

Yes.
Then I came to realize He was actually pulling me closer. It is a completely miserable and horrible feeling, but it helps us to realize just how much we desire to move closer, spiritually.
He hasn’t forsaken you. He is actually showing you something. So keep praying and keep thanking Him.

I believe that even the "strongest" have had their dry spells where that thought comes across. Of course, that is the time we have to choose to walk in what we know to be true, or dwell in the doubt.
Times of doubt are normal - even necessary for our faith. Lee Strobel interviewed someone who explained that very well.
