When You Feel Abandoned by God | Herbert Cooper

Do you feel abandoned by God or wonder if He cares about you? If He really loves you, why do bad things keep happening in your life? In this message, we’ll learn what we need to remember on our worst days.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
It’s easy to think of doubt as a sign of weak faith. But it’s not. God isn’t afraid of our doubts, so we don’t have to be either. In our new series, Doubting God, we’re creating a space for the questions we’ve been afraid to ask. Together, let's discover how doubt can actually build our faith.

On a scale of 1-10, how easy is it for you to remember that God is with you and that He loves you?

[zachtooill]

I’ve been in a very dark place mentally. Anyone that sees this please pray for me. I just don’t have the energy to do the work I know I have to do to get out of this pit. I just pray God has mercy on me and brings me to the point I need to be to put my full faith back in Him. I’m hoping this message helps me get there.

I need prayer I just went through a terrible divorce after being married 28 years . I took care of my Dad who was dying for a 1 1/2 year of bone cancer. Fast forward now I’m caring for my mom who has dementia. I’ve had to move in with her bc she can no longer live alone. I feel overwhelmed at times and blessed at other times that God is giving me this time with my Mom. I get so tired and frightened and feel so alone, I don’t think I can make it somedays! I need so much prayer please pray for my mom and me. So thankful for church today…loved his messages! What an amazing pastor!

I need prayer as I have recently lost my 37 year old son to cancer (and my husband also to cancer). The grief has consumed my heart and life. I will work on asking the “what” questions instead of the “whys”. God bless you all✝🙏🏽

[pcdeltalink]

I’ve been around over 35 years at this point and God has only spoken to me twice, with about a 20 year gap in between those messages. Yet both times one of the things he whispered within my mind was that he was with me and knew all my struggles.

[shamisomutsokoti]

Yesterday l was crying my heart out to the lord and today l saw this message l felt abandoned because all l want is love. Now l feel like He loves me!!!!

[steveloy]

Thank you. I'm going through, life changing experience. My wife is battling through mental issues. Dad in hospital and Mom going through ruff time with Dad. I thank God, he is with Us . My God is the reason I'm still here.

[TLOH]

Well, it's been 20 years. So, do I feel God has abandoned me? Absolutely!...and trust me, I've prayed so hard even in my darkest nights, it's all an annoying silence. Every person that tells me he hasn't abandoned me only talks by their personal experiences which haven't been that bad. It is easy to remain faithful when things hadn't been that bad for you.

[TammyLynn]

This is the most powerful message I have ever heard at LC. I and my girls have known abandonment by my ex husband. It was the most painful experience ever, BUT I can say I have never felt abandoned by God. Many people know the “feeling” of abandonment by both man and God, but this message is a beautiful reminder that God never ever abandons His people! Very anointed message that I know will refresh so many today! Praying for those who feel abandoned by God and that today they are touched by the hand of God through this message! Prayers for healing for those who have felt the ripping within by the abandonment of someone they loved and trusted. 🙏

Amen God
I am so glad that I found this sermon today because I really needed it

"Don't let a chapter of your life define the rest of your life". Whatta deep word.

[michelinesimmons]

I wish it was just a few bad days. I’ve been in a Job season since 2015. Everyday consist of a new loss or trial. I’m exhausted depressed confused angry bitter spirit crushed and heartbroken. I can’t see or believe Jeremiah 29:11. I feel like I’m praying to a sky of stone, like I’m cursed and God hates me. I don’t see waking up as a blessing.

[gregorybedner]

Needed this I have felt rejected and hurt by church and abandoned by God and I lost my faith, I searched for a sermon about feeling abandoned by God and this was an answer to my prayer

[Usernameblahblahnblah]

Wow. I felt this sermon. Jesus stayed on the cross and he never leaves me.

[ligiposada]

Hallelujah...PRAY FOR ME AND MY GENERATIONS!!!🧡🧡🧡

[GabyGeo]

September 2023 - “ when we can not trace God’s hands, just trust His heart”. Thank you Pastor Herbert for delivering God’s message. I needed this. I am blessed.

[AM-lkjc]

Thank you for this very powerful sermon. Although I'm only 17 and a lot of you may say that I have my whole life ahead of me, I've been feeling lonely these past couple of years since I have never had a Girlfriend or a Significant Other before. I have recently been getting back into my faith in God, and there are moments where I feel as if God has abandoned me and wants me to be alone forever. But I know now that God hasn't abandoned me, but wants me to stay lonely for now. So that way I can be prepared when he thinks the time is right. So thank you to those who read this and if you can please pray for me. Pray that I may do God's will/obey his words, and if you can please pray that God Blesses me and others with a Godly Relationship when he wills it.

[mulliganthink]

I need to know the faithfulness of God.
