Probably the best example of someone in the Bible who may have been able to claim that God had abandoned him was Job.  Job and his wife lost everything, but their responses to the situation found in Job 2 were very different from one another.  Job's wife had given up on life and given up on God, while Job held on to his integrity and the belief that God would turn his situation around.  And that's exactly what happened.  Learn in this teaching how and why Job's response was instrumental in his eventual turnaround.
