In the former Soviet Union, a Christian named Walter Cizsek was imprisoned and subjected to torture because of his belief in Jesus. He was given the agonising choice between collaboration and execution. collaborate with murderers and liars? Never! But a painful death? How was he able to stand that?
Walter was on the verge of giving up on God until he started to pray fervently. He eventually attained the capacity to entirely submit to the Father's will. God's will, according to him, was not "out there," but rather "in the circumstances I found myself in." What He desired was for me to relinquish control of these circumstances and put myself fully at His mercy.
Walter was able to do that because to grace.
Have you ever experienced God's abandonment? Have you ever experienced the same desperation as the psalmist who cried out, "Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He repressed His tender mercies out of anger? (Ps. 77:9). When the psalmist reflected on the magnificent deeds of the Lord and understood that He is fully in control, his grief was relieved (vv. 10–20).
Our feelings of being abandoned by God will vanish as we "let go of the reins" and put ourselves totally at His disposal.
No one will ever feel abandoned by God if they are. We won't need to worry or doubt when we are left in God's hands because we will understand that He is in charge and that He is always close by.
