No, God has always been there when I needed him most. Last year when my mom developed cancer the Lord was with me and my family and guided her back to health. Thanks to God she's still with us today. God has always been there with me, through thick and thin, the good and the bad. I'm a firm believer and know he'll never turn his back on me.

I have that way for about 4 yrs now. I lost an older brother without warning. Till this day I still wonder why god had to take someone who didn't deserve to go. He had recently gotten married and had a new baby and just like that.. one day he never woke up from his sleep. My family is very church going and I have always been taught to love, honor, and believe that what ever happens.. it was part of god's plan. When this happen.. it shook me to the core.. I was angry, hurt, and confused. I even stopped praying and stopped going to church. Till this day, I still wonder why my family? Why this plan? Even though things are bad, I have look at the good things. I have a niece that I'm crazy about and would give up my life for. You should consider that fact that yes things are bad now but its not the end of the world. You will heal.. it just takes time.. You shouldn't always blame god.. Maybe there's something better in store for you..

He does not abandon His children. You have to meet him half way, He will not do everything for you with nothing in return. He wants you to believe in Him, trust Him, and love Him. If you do not do this, then He will not do near as much for you. Even with the rough spots like you are having, you are having them for a reason. Maybe it is to test your strength or to open your eyes in order to see something...you just never know. You have to trust in Him at all times. He does NOT close a door without opening another. Just bc you cannot see it yet does NOT mean that it isn't there. Stop dwelling in your troubles and push forward and go to Him for the strength and courage to do so. But you HAVE to believe.

God has never left me. Brethren, God is there but you are not answering His call. When time get rough, you need to lean on Him even more. When you do that, He will keep you focus on the prize instead of being easily distracted. The girl that you had is not the right one for you. He will bless you with even a better one. You have to ask Him for what is best for you. He will answer your call. Keep the faith.

going through problems doesnt mean that God has left you. Jesus had to suffer things Himself, even as He died on the cross, yet He promised believers that He would never leave nor forsake you, He just wants you to seek Him through the trial and let Him show His faithfulness in the matter, knowing that He knows the end of what is going to happen much better than you and He is working something greater in your life than you could even imagne

He never left you. He got someone better for you. Just be patient. My friend once said, "A woman's rejection is God's protection." It's not in the Bible, but I believe it's true. While you're single, try joining a singles ministry. That's what I'm doing right now, and it really helps me enjoy being single.

Never!! No matter how much I've messed up, God has always loved me and he loves you too!! Not everything bad that happens is God. Sometimes God does allow things to happen though in order to get your attention, but never to harm you. Why not try talking to Him, He'll give you an answer if you listen.

I don't know if you've ever heard of the poem "Footprints" but its really an awesome poem that I think would answer your question. I've never felt that God has left me and if the truth be told it was really me walking away from him. Read this poem, I think you'll find what you're looking for.

Yes, but I must be looking in the wrong places.
because he is always with us.
this poem always encourages me
One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
