Hey! This is for sure a great topic and very provocative. To answer your title.... I believe He has been long forgotten before this. I think there is a strength that comes through trials like these, and the ability to ask, seek, and knock while being on your own. For so long we have gone to a brick and mortar and committed our lives to a habit or a tradition without truly ever seeing God.

In times like these, those who call on the name of the Lord are not lost. Those that pretend are gone to the wolves. It makes me think of Matthew

22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

When He said I never knew you, He wasn't speaking to those that are outside of the body...he was talking to the ones that think and act like they are, but never actually are. I think in times like these it is a real gut check. It is now more than ever that we need to cry out to God...on our own...in our "closet" and in secret...really connecting with the Father.... that is how I believe the body will actually get stronger. It is when there is not stage to perform on or in front of others. Be well.
