Which bit of the bible talks about being separated from God as 'agony'?

Most have never contemplated what agony God the Son was in when God the Father separated Himself from Him as they had never been separated in eternity past. So He was separated from God the Father for 3 hours so I could spend eternity with God. Just as all those who will accept His offer of eternal life.
So tell me - Where in the bible does it tell us that Christ was in agnoy as a result of being separated from God?
Or is this something you have inferred somehow? (if so how?)

I have no way of knowing what the numbers would be one way or the other.
Well if we make an estimate of the number of people that have ever lived Vs an esimate of the number of people that died as born again Christians then we should get a rough idea of what proportion of humanity are separated from 'God the father'.

You are not separated from God as you receive the on going life you have on earth from Him.

Are you talking about physical life when you talk about my "ongoing life"?
ICANT writes:
So yes I am referring to your physical life. When He withdraws the breath of life from your physical body it will cease to live.
But surely I receive this spiritual life from Him too - Right. So why does the end of physical life equate to being separeted from God? Why are the two related?
