Alex,
I seem to experience this very same thing in low tides and high tides, never knowing when it (His Spirit) will ebb and when it will flow. There is much scripture relating to our troubles, trials & tribulations here and it is all a part of our growing process, growing pains so to speak.
As Paul would say, rejoice in your trials, it is the Lord chastening you, have faith His comforting Spirit will show Himself to you shortly.

lilitalienboi16,
Just try to keep in mind that feelings are feelings are feelings. They are not truth. You may have a whole poopload of feelings to deal with, but they are not indicative of where God is. He is a rock lilitalienboi16 and cannot be swayed to leave you for any reason if you are seeking him. Rejoice that he is more faithful than men. I'm not sure how this will be taken but I know it is true: God is more faithful to you than you could ever be to him. but part of his faithfulness is letting you go through the fire to show you how genuine your faith is. Don't rely on feelings. Stand on faith. I hope that helps.

As far as feelings go, if they're tuned to the right frequency, you'll find out where you're being led Alex. For instance, if your mind is tuned to Christ, you flesh will constantly rebel against you. Paul spoke of it in Romans 7. Keep your chin up, and humbly walk as you're led by the Spirit Of The Lord. (it's easier said than done)
