There is a devotional I wrote here which explores this topic more: <a href="http://powertochange.com/blogposts/2009/04/10/my-god-my-god-why-have-you-forsaken-me-2/" rel="nofollow">My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?</a> Hope this helps.

I believe Jesus is the Lord, but in my mind, why did Jesus say Father, why have you forsaken me? when Jesus was on the cross? Hope you understand my question. Thanks I believe in Trinity.
