Nothing terrible happened. God just felt… absent. Then I reread Psalm 22 more slowly. Before hope appears, David says, “Why are you so far from saving me?” In Hebrew, the phrase implies distance, not rejection. God isn’t gone—He’s silent. Scripture makes room for that difference. Silence is not the same as abandonment. If God feels distant today, you’re not imagining things—and you’re not condemned for noticing. David noticed it too, and his words are still considered Scripture. #FeelingAbandoned #Psalm22 #David #FaithAndSilence #BiblicalLament
