Hope seems to be hidden

There have been a couple of times in my life when God seemed to be far away. The prayers I said seemed to not have someone on the other end. It's a very lonely feeling. It's hard to have hope if you think God has turned away from you. The truth is silence is a way He teaches us to trust Him. Also, it's at that point when you think you have made God mad enough to walk away from you, you realize how much you need Him. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. So, it doesn't matter what you feel or think, He is hearing your prayers. And, He already has things in motion to get you out of your situation. With this being said it only seems hope is hidden.
