Every believer has times they feel as though God is distant or absent altogether. For many Christians this means something has gone wrong, that the inability to “feel” God’s Spirit means God has rejected you. But this is not what God’s Word tells us. It is in fact, an important part of how He works in our lives and helps us grow into the men and women of faith He wants us to be. The greatest saints in the Bible often felt the absence of God. Isaiah cried out in dismay, “You have hidden your face from us.” Isaiah 64:1-7 ...and Gideon: If the LORD is with us…where are all His wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us? Judges 6:13 Jesus Himself cried out, " My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'"Matthew 27:46

Why does God sometimes leave us feeling alone and deserted? He wants us to walk by faith, not by sight; and walking by faith means sometimes pressing on when we can’t feel or see Him.
