At some points in our lives it might seem that THE LORD has abandoned us, that he forgot us. It might seem that he is evil. But he is not. HE offers you his help and his support even when the circumstances are against you. Don´t worry - you are in good company. The LORD is with you. 

Mark 15, 34: " At three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
