Well, clearly this story is not written by a muslim... it's giving God characteristics of a human.
But a very nice message in the story.
It may seem if God has abandoned us when we need Him the most... but in reality... we are so overwhelmed by our difficulties we don't even notice how God saved us from something far worse.

Thank you Glo... I've always loved that story too (the message of it!) and when I looked for it, it was actually on an Islam website - I'd put Allah in the search term.
IbnAbdulHakim... well noted!
DigitalStorm82... right you are. The story wasn't written by a Muslim, it's being doing the email circuit for quite a few years and applied to Christians. The essence of the message as you pointed out is the main beauty of it. People generally understand things more when given a scenario they can visualise - like the parables in the Quran!
There was a disclaimer at the bottom of it so as not to misguide Muslims!

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Faith wears out in your heart as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.”
The believer’s heart may sometimes feel overwhelmed by clouds of sin. This was portrayed to us by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he said: “There is no heart that does not have clouds like the clouds that cover the moon. When the cloud covers it, it is dark, and when the cloud moves away it shines.”Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat, and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani.
So the believer’s heart is sometimes covered with a cloud and its light is hidden, and it remains dark and lonely, but if he strives to increase his store of faith and seeks the help of Allaah, that cloud goes away and the light in his heart starts to shine again. Hence one of the salaf said: “It is part of a person’s smartness to check on his faith and be aware of what affects it.” It is also part of a person’s smartness “that he recognizes how the Shaytaan whispers to him.”
