Abandoned by God

Body
When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three o’clock in the afternoon when Jesus said, “ Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, ” My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” (Mark 15:33-34)? Jesus felt alone and abandoned by his father, and his human nature was crying out. People can sometimes feel forsaken, too. All of us have experienced feelings as though God abandons us at some point in our lives.
