So Jesus was pretending to be in despair? I don't buy that. No, he was really in despair. He was not acting on the cross.

I will agree that it is hard to "find God" when you been so confused by lies about God that you don't know which end is up. Yeah, I get that. I just didn't want our readers to think that God does not come when we call. He does, and the word says over and over that he will. But the noise in our heads can almost, not quite, drown out our realization of his presence. We just have to keep calling and praying and sincerely pleading, "Where are you?!" And he will come through. Everyone can count on that.
