STOP, DON’T DO IT! Take hope! You have options that you cannot see right now! It is not that you do not have options, it is just that you cannot see them. Evil forces can cloud our minds from seeing the hope that is there. You have an opportunity of a better day. It is real and it is out there. It is coming. Let God open your eyes to it and let Him do it for you. Give Him a chance to give you a chance. We love you and He loves you.
You have good options, you just can’t see them now.
Only the word of God can strip away the darkness so that we can see the brightness. You are in the dark simply because you cannot see the light. Hurt and hopelessness work together to block the light. The light is actually all around you. MAKE YOURSELF read the following scriptures, even if you feel absolutely nothing. The deadness will leave. Hope and light will seep into your heart. Do it!
Anyone who is among the living has hope. Ecclesiastes 9:4
Suicidal thoughts only survive within an outlook of complete hopelessness. Hope, true Bible hope, is the best antidote for hopelessness. Take the hope that is resident in the promises of God and put it into your heart. Your outlook will change. God has a wonderful habit of raising individuals out of impossible situations. He enjoys doing it, and it brings Him glory. The Bible is full of stories of people, just like you, that were delivered out of extremely dangerous and potentially embarrassing situations – including His own son, Jesus. You are no different. Reject the guilt and shame, and absorb His love, forgiveness, and hope. You will make it out of this situation! The darkness will not last. That is the real truth, but for it to work, you must see it as truth and believe it. This is where reading, speaking, and meditating God’s promises comes in. They will grow hope and belief in your heart. ALSO, PLEASE READ THIS – Helping Others Is God’s Prescription for Depression.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down (depression), but a good word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25 Holman Christian Standard Bible
Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255Allow God’s good word to cheer you up. God’s word is the only true source of hope because it shows the will of Him who can help. Allow the hope of a good result to seep back into your heart. Suicide is the extreme dead-end of hopelessness. Allowing thoughts of hopelessness to control your thinking narrows and darkens your path till suicide appears to be the only option, BUT IT IS NOT. There are plenty of other solutions; you just can’t see them now because hopelessness has blinded you to them. The hope that is resident in the promises of God will open the eyes of your heart, and you will be able to see again. It will get brighter.
Suicide only appears like an option when the devil has hidden all your other options. Allow the Bible to open your eyes.
You will have to work at it. You will not feel like it. Do it anyway, your life depends on it, and contrary to what you are feeling, YOUR LIFE IS WORTH IT. Suicide is a permanent solution to an intense but short term problem. Don’t do it!
“Do not be a fool–why die before your time?” Ecclesiastes 7:17b
This may sound harsh but the hard truth is this – the thought to end one’s life is foolish – and once you step back and see it for what it really is, you will understand. Do not despair; it will get better. The power to deliver is resident in His word. Put it to work for you. Relax and make yourself read these scriptures and let God’s word do the rest:
You are my lamp O Lord; the Lord turns my darkness into light. 2 Samuel 22:29
But you will not need to fight! Take your places; stand quietly and see the incredible rescue operation God will perform for you, Oh people of Judah and Jerusalem! Don’t be afraid or discouraged! Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord is with you! 2 Chronicles 20:17
You have granted me life and favor, and Your care has preserved my spirit. Job 10:12
I will lie down in peace and sleep, for though I am alone, Oh Lord, you will keep me safe. Psalms 4:8

Don’t be like a senseless horse or mule that has to have a bit in its mouth to keep it in line! Psalms 32:7-9
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalm 34:18, 19
If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumbles, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37:23, 24
Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:5
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. Psalm 62:5

Surely, there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusts in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. (Perfect means complete. If I keep my part of the promise by staying steadfastly focused on the Lord Jesus Christ, He will keep His promise to give me His perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3-4 See also Philippians 4:6-7 below)
And the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:10
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid. John 14:27
We are saved by trusting. And trusting means looking forward to getting something we don’t yet have – for a man who already has something doesn’t need to hope and trust that he will get it. But if we must keep trusting God for something that hasn’t happened yet, it teaches us to wait patiently and confidently. Romans 8:24-25
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

II Corinthians 7:6-7
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:18-19
There is one body and one Spirit – just as you were called to one hope when you were called–one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4-6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

I was raised in violence and anger and have strived to do the next right thing most of my life, I confess I am a sinner and know I’m not worthy of Gods mercy, but HE still helps me through most things, but the ONE I ask for is giving me a soulmate. I suffer and feel cursed by my extreme depression and PTSD from my police and military service in the past, but know in my heart I’ve done more good than bad in my 43 years, but still feel hopeless and sad every single day. I just want to eat a bottle of pills and go to sleep so the pain of life will stop eating away at my very core. If you believe this sometimes I pray to God to take me now, I’m ready and tired of this life, really! If your sincere here about listening to these comments, Please, Please say something encouraging so I may find solace somewhere in my meaningless life that I wish would end. I’m flat broke and live alone and I’m tired of existing and want the joy that others share. I’ve been betrayed, lied to, screwed over and I’ve basically given up along time ago and feel my end is near. I’ve lost faith in humanity with all the suffering and tragedy I see and hear about daily. I even tell God that this world is evil and I don’t blame him one bit for destroying this poisoned earth, please pray for me that FRANK in Georgia will know peace and love once again . I really don’t want to die with the horrors, disappointments, sadness and anger in my soul. Thank you very much for listening. FDA
perhaps im looking in the wrong place, but how should i be perceiving these scriptures if i dont believe in God?
I used to but there is nothing no way that will convince me he/she is real anymore, bad things have happened that i just dont think a god could live with, or exist for that matter, for such bad things to happen to the people i love, So then what am i to count on to guide and help me, what am i to have faith in? I hardly have faith in people anymore, do i try and see my child as my god? Im not trying to contradict or question the faith but the scriptures are so poetic and they would be helpful to me yet i have no way of believing it myself. Is there some way this could relate to people who dont have a belief? p.s I saw my creators, my parents, as god, i was lucky enough to think that after i lost faith, so much wisdom knowledge and goodness, could everyone have their own god if they wanted to?
Just read your post I know it’s been months I pray with all my heart that you’re doing well. Going through similar circumstances as you and then have health issues. I have been trying to give up most of my life then found this site read the scriptures realized I’m letting satan take control which I have fought a lifetime always thought I was worthless. I believed I was alone in this, began to think I was loosing my mind begged, prayed for death to come. TODAY I TAKE BACK MY LIFE I PORAY YOU HAVE TOO
But God does. Sorry about all the post tablet keeps crashing. LSS. I’m now 57 have two wonderful daughters. Lost my job of 22 years last sept. On unemployment. Just found out I ha a tumor on my right ovary. Going to hospital next Thursday. But every time I want to die, sadly to this day
Please do not give up I’ve tried everything you have thought about since I was 12. Teribble home life molested. Raped. Ran away. Never did did drugs but turned to alcohol. Four marriages. Each less then two years. I am now alm
I am now 57 years old. Most peoples do not know of my past
I am now 57 years old. Most people do not know of my past. But I’m not giving up always believed in God but never listened to Him it took me a lifetime to realize I’m not the smartest person in the world. Please don’t waste your life listening to yourself give yourself to God he really does hear you. Now whatever happens to me I know it will be what God decides not me. I know how much it sucks to be alone and feel like no on
Just like you I’ve had the thoughts
Barbara,
You did the right thing. You isolated yourself to keep yourself safe and you sought help. I’m proud of you.
I’m so sorry (((hugs))). I was first suicidal as a young teenager. Like you, I didn’t go through with it because I thought my 4 year old brother would grow up and never remember how much I loved him. You’re young for anti-depressants. They don’t always work well for teenagers. However, they did help me once I was in my 20’s. It’s not a cure-all. I still get some pretty steep lows that make it hard to hang on. But, with medicine, I have more good days than bad.
I know things look bleak for you now. If I could go back and talk to my 18 year old self, I would say “Search for the joy. You can find it”.
Today, take your little sister to the park and push her on the swing. Color with her. Watch Sponge Bob together. You have to make it. If you die, your sister’s chance of suicide when she is older skyrockets. She needs you. She’s going to need you all her life. If you can’t live for you, live for her.
I’m praying for you.
I’m only 18 and at 18 I feel like you should be living your life, not begging to die or wanting to end it. I can’t count the number of times I’ve written out a suicide note, since I was about 12, apologizing to my parents for not being strong enough to fight off every dark thought but I’ve never pulled through. I’ve harmed myself but not bad enough to where it’s ended my life because deep down I never could end the life Jesus gave to me. I know I was put on this earth for a reason and purpose, I keep losing sight of that purpose by clouding myself with all these negative suicidal thoughts that just keep uncontrollable rushing towards me. At 9, I was sexually assaulted by an uncle. At 13, I found out my Father wasn’t who he said he was, having a 2nd family and living a double life. Mid of 2014 I found out I had a tumor, having gone through 3 surgeries now. I keep telling myself there is hope for me, but I’d be lying if I said every day wasnt a constant battle for me on if I’m worth it enough or not. I came here tonight because the suicidal tendencies were at an all time high, having to lock myself in my room from going out into harming myself in any way because truth is I don’t want to die. I don’t want to leave my 4 year old sister behind in this cruel world, when she’s all I have and the only reason I’m still fighting. She gives me hope that not everything in this world is evil.
FaithMechanic – Thank you so much for that link! Depression runs in my family. It has been much worse since my little boy died. I DO want to banish the evil that would bring me down so far that my life isn’t worth living. Please pray for me that I will be delivered.
Kathleen – Great! We will pray but you have to do your part by speaking the answer and only good things over yourself. Find a scripture or promise in the Bible that jumps out at you and say it continually all day long. Then go to another and another. They will change you from the inside out. After a while (who cares how long) you will feel the difference.
Learn about your authority as a Christian over evil forces, and the power given to you in the name of Jesus. We have articles on that.
Do it for your family. You do not want it to run down into your daughters or their children. Stop it now, and stop it for good with the word of God. Get the hope from the scriptures into you, it will help to motivate you. Hope motivates and hope produces joy which is one source of strength. We love you. Rex
You saved my life tonight. Well, Christ saved my life but it was through the words I read here. The stories that remind me I’m not the only one suffering with these thoughts of hopelessness. I’m always afraid. I don’t even know what I’m afraid of most of the time. I’m so incredibly tired of suffering. I’m just so exhausted all the time. I miss my boy- he died in 2009. I miss my friend Joe who died two weeks ago. I want to be with them and my dad. I’ve been hanging on by a fingernail for years. I have had suicidal thoughts since I was fifteen. I found a lump last year and was relieved because I thought maybe I was finally at the end. I wasn’t even lucky enough to have cancer. I know that sounds terrible but I was so relieved to think this was finally going to be over. Some days I think it’s never going to be over. I know no one lives forever but I feel like I’ve been exiled on this earth for a million years already and I just want to go home. The older I get, the harder it seems. I take four different medicines for depression. I’ve been to the hospital. The only thing that has kept me alive is my daughters. I don’t want them to suffer. I know they’ll suffer. Maybe it would even bring them to suicide some day. I don’t want that for them. I don’t want it for me either but it’s hard to hang on. Tonight I was combing the internet looking for hope. I really need some hope right now.
Kathleen – I pray for you right now that God would ‘open the eyes of your understanding and that you (maybe for the first time in your life) would see the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance’ is, in you, (Ephesians 1:18) in Jesus Name!! It is there, but for some reason, you have not been able to see the hope that is all around you. Let’s figure out how to work with God so you can see it.
Wouldn’t that be incredible?! Kathleen, God can do it. Imagine it, believe for it, and expect it. Believe Him for the answer instead of the fake relief of death. I am not condescending; I know exactly where you are coming from.
Don’t do something that will hurt your kids and promote that option in their life. Be a help and a comfort to them, and not another life hurdle to overcome. That may sound tough but it is the truth. Love them enough to jam pack the word of God into you so that it can drive out whatever it is in you doing this. And believe me, there is something inside of you doing this. Fear, for fears sake, is not natural fear. It is a spirit.
Deal with it as such. Depression Is a Spirit – It Must Be Fought with the Word of God – Read it. We love you. You will get free from this in Jesus Name. Rex
PS I am so sorry about your son and Joe. God will get you through this. Read this book – Intra Muros – “My Dream of Heaven” It will comfort you. It is incredible. We do love you in Jesus Name..
The real reason they don’t want you to kill yourself is because you are some one else s property. Plain and simple
i want to hurt myself or worse today. I love God. I’ve been begging to be released from the self-inflicted torment that was caused by a poor choice – I’m never going to forget all the glory he has shown me in my life, but after you live at the bahamas and you move to antarctica..i know that hell is eternity without God, because when he saved me and showed me just a glimpse of how much he loves us. wHEN I SOUGHT his kingdom, he added more spiritually to me than ever before. I hope hurting yourself isn’t eternal damnation because I’m broken to a point of complete surrender. I know he is the answer.. I typed a lot more a couple times, but it deleted it in error. Love everyone. He’s worth the wait and God bless..
Karen – DO NOT HURT YOURSELF. When you hurt yourself you hurt Jesus and all of us that love you. It sounds like you made a very poor choice in the past. I’m sure it was terrible but let go of it. Ask forgiveness. I’m sure you will mean it from the depths of your heart. If so, you are forgiven by Him. Now, it is time to forgive yourself. You must do it. It is a commandment from God.
Send me an email so I can send one back and give you my phone number. I love you. You are loved by God and Us. You must now love yourself enough to let go and get out of this prison.
You can get out of this darkness. You may not see that or feel it but it is the truth. There is a spirit that has attached itself to you and you must get free of it to be able to see the hope that is before you in God. Rex
Karen, do NOT hurt yourself. When you hurt yourself, you are hurting Jesus because he loves you & he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to you.The Lord created you in HIS image & sent his only begotten son because he loved you. When you go through life’s challenges, do not rely on your own strength. Submit your strength to the foot of the cross. Ask the Lord for strength during this time. When you pray, pray with faith. A prayer without faith is an empty prayer. Also, when you feel depressed & on the verge of hurting yourself, rebuke the enemy (devil) in the name of Jesus. The enemy is a liar & he will do all in his power to drive you to hurt yourself or worse. I will say a prayer for you. And on a final note, trust in the Lord for it will be in his timing that whatever situation that you are going through will work together for his good. May the good Lord give you peace & comfort during this time.
There is hope in every situation, God loves you and He knows everything we are going through. We must hold on to God’s unchanging hand. He is the Great I Am! Every second, minute and hour of the day He has His mind on you, you are priceless!
Jesus Loves u! Hello everybody….life can be difficult…I lost my mother at the age of six..after that, we were separated to live with family members we were five at the time..my youngest brotherer never met her…she was pregnant with him @ the time…I was so confused and missed being with my family…my mother had so many problems with our fathers..but she worked hard teaching in in areas no one ever wanted to go and teach. After a year or two…me and my oldest brother were sexually molested by an in law…being sooo young I felt terrible because I though this man had fallen in love with me…I felt I was betraying my mothers sister…what I did not know is that I was just another victim of this man issues with alcohol and sexual abuse he had suffered himself. later I find out that he sexually abused his daughters and my brother…because they lived in the same home…I was afraid at one point to tell anybody…he said he will bust my head open if I told anyone..so I kept the secret…until one day one day one of my other mother sister, whom I lived with noticed that he was touching me inapropiately…while we waited for her to get in the car…she acted like she dint see anything and sat me down once we got home….she was also the one who introduce me to Christ…I told her everything she took me to the doctor to get me check the doctor srated that I was ok…that the man who molested me knew exactly what he was doing.I was still a virgin physically but not emotionally…my eyes were open and my inonce was taken from me…I also had to witnessed how he sesually abuse his daughter to the point of taking their virginity..I wanted to bring him out before but my cousin were to afraid and so I was…I was around 7 when all this started to take place….up to this point I dint hate this man until I found out that he sesually abuse my oldest brother for years resulting on my brothers living in the street since the age of 14..that was his ultimate and only escape from the abuse of this man. This abuse brought so much paint into the family…this man was brpromisesout and put out of the home my aunt later took him back…but me and my brother were no longer around…knowing Christ really kepts ups going and looking forward to a better future…I never forget when my brother while leaving in the street gave his only$20.00 dollar bill and put it in the ofrend..he was probably 16….I ask him..brother if you put all your money in the church baskett what are you going to do. Later when u need food…he smile and say God will not abandon me…he is now 36….I have never seen my brother lIetting him make his own mistakes and reminding that no matter the situation God is working on his behalfcking anything to this day…and I could never forget that day when gave all he have..he trusted God inspite off what he was going through…God did not abandoned us even though we were like orphans…I cried a lot as a little girl..but I promised to never question God but trust him through it all..I learned to have Faith in him during the good and bad times.
.I felt along a lot and missed my mother, brothers and my sister. I grow up And learn that I could be a virgin again in every sense by the power of the cruz because Jesus is our saviour and a restorer…so I kept my self for my future husband.which I married at 19 the marriage was not the best…he had hidden a lots of things from me important ones…he even lied about being a Christian just to married me…he cheated…did drugs..have babies that I dint know about prior to marrying me….but then true person came out…This hapened to me because even though I comunicated my desires to this man about God..
I dint took the time to comunicate with my creator about his will for my life and waited to hear confirmation from the Lord. So I cut the relationships for good. I asked God to forgive me…I was idolizing being married and having a family on my own..I was looking for people to make me happy…and was being dissapointed each time..it was my fault and no one else….I saved my body again my mind until I heard from the Lord..that’s when I met my now husband who seems to be a good man…and good father to this point…we been married for 13 yrs now…but I have to admit that I married him because again I was in pain and heartbroken over another man of my age…that to this day I feel was the love of my life…but was an unequal yoke…I felt no approval from the Holy spirit and had to turn him loose…I heard that he is now in and out of jail and cried when found out I married my now husband and regret not valuing me..that he wish he was the father of his children, that he would have married instead of whom he married braking my heart then…. There was a point in my life when for the firts time I felt like wanted to die…I was at a wonderful point in my couriier…and found out I was pregnant…I was so sick and dint feel any love for my baby…after having my baby I was sick for three years….the doctors couldnt tell me what was wrong with me…I was having a lots of issues in my home…my husband has older kids and I felt he put them before me…they dint respect me…I kept showing them love but got tierd of being walked over…for three years I hold a grudge..until I humbold before the Lord and confess to God..he allowed the doctors to find out the very next day what was wrong with me.They told me I should it been death based on the findings..They gave me a bunch of pills and prescribed injections I will need for life or die…I chose to trust God…I got out of the pills and did not do another injection….the doctors were concerned…when they tested me they discovered that my sickness was gone 100% they couldn’t explain how this was possible… I chose to trust God even if I dint received in life what he promised.I learned that life is a beautiful rollercoster with ups and downs to make us stronger….and now working with my 10 year old who finds himself talking very negative and attemptend suicide once…I trust God sooo much and thank God that he has overcome this situation…he was being bullied at school and was also absorbing some home issues and issues in our marriage.we have learned to listen to him a lot and act upon it with the word of God.caring and nurturing…but k..When I felt bad , along disappointed from a young age I would cry and ask him to help me not to cry no more because I dint want to suffered anymore..but I trusted God…He taught me to see the and apreaciate the rainbow after the rain…the Sun after the storm..I noticed that the more I seek him in the word and through his creation the stronger I became…God also help me understand that there would be many more situations but through it all he was making stronger to not be surprised…because there is an enemy out there that we can see with our mere eyes..although we see his evil works in action…I learned that Im a soldier but my captain is Christ…which means that even when it seems like I’m loosing..even when it seems like I’m loosing, its the opposite…because Im already victorious if I’m in Christ…the book of revelation inform us of our day of victory..so I’m not afraid what man do to me…what man think of me..there are more with me (that my naked eye cannot see ) that those who are against me…The words tells me that my Father haa assigned an Angel to guard me on top of that the Holy Spirit is always present defending me…Jesus loves me and is with me and my Father in heaven…whom or what shall I fear…the same he is doing for you….just believe….I Will share more later need to charge my phone. God cares about you….
Oh El Shaddai, you are all mighty overpowering and able to destroy the enemy who seeks to destroy our very life. Jehovah Elyon, is the most high ,superior, supreme, all powerful creator that so beautifully, wonderfully and fearfully gave us the breath of life for his glory.
Dear brother or sister if you are reading this comment you are STILL ALIVE, although you may be struggling, you are looking for a reason to keep living, and you are still in belief that there is a God that is able to sweep in and rescue you in your time of despair. That reason is….that our lives, no matter how worthless, useless, sorrowful, laden with guilt and shame …that our life does not belong to us, so, it is not ours to take. Our life was purchased with a mighty high price over 2,000 years ago, the cost was paid in full by the BLOOD of the precious Prince Christ Jesus, the sacrificial lamb, sent by the King of Glory, who so willingly called upon the creator of Heaven and Earth and all that lives within, to allow our lies, deceit, our guilt and shame, our doubt and fears, our faults and failures to be placed upon his shoulders for he was willing to bear our burdens, so that we could rise above the prince of darkness who tries to convince us that we are miserable failures and should end our pathetic life, because we are of no use to anyone and that we have no purpose. ENEMY YOU ARE A LIAR!
Friend YOU HAVE PURPOSE or you would not have been created. Maybe you have come to this place and will now find your purpose because when you walk away living, that means that the devil will not have this victory dance because you did not give in to his plea. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, THE DECISION IS YOURS, though you may walk away wounded, and uncertain of where to go from here, You will walk away ALIVE! You will walk one day at a time and eventually you will testify to the victory over death that you overcame because we are made overcomers by our testimonies. Psalms chapter 107 will lift you up and increase your faith and I especially love Psalms chap 147 verse 3: He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. You are in control of how this story ends. Praise you Jesus for your sacrifice.
While inspirational perhaps, not a single verse you quote says anything about suicide. Well, I did stop reading after the first 40 or so….
The only one that pertains is a commandment…. you know, the one about no killing. It does not specify self or others thus making it all inclusive.
The Bible records several suicides and does not condem them; it simply describes them.
I hate the feeling of the darkness and everyday it continues to grow. The light for me is gone and I feared it would never come back. Finding these words have given me some comfort and a sliver of hope. I know I can make it through tonight, will read this tomorrow to get me through another day. Thank you deeply for sharing these scriptures. It’s hard to understand His plan for me, but I don’t want to be a “fool” either. God bless.

Jesus
Is a warrior, the word says He fights your battles! But you have to do something too! The word says to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, this means sing to the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul! Tell Him how much you love Him and need Him!

Hello everyone. I was looking for prayers for my friends daughter. have no idea what to say or how to help. Please look up Angela Greenig ministries (angelagreenig.com)
God uses her in ways beyond what I can understand. I pray God will immediately intervene.
I believe Divine Guidance led me to this site. Reading through the posts, I am reading about my life and what I have been going through, almost word-for-word. But, is it wrong to say, “I’m tired and need to rest awhile?” My body hurts, my brain hurts, I have sinned and have asked for His forgivenessm but I feel I am being punished. I have lost hope and circumstances are humbling me greatly. I will be homeless soon (and yes, I know if I say it, it will be so). I am tired…who says you have to be 62 to retire? What if my body says it is time now? I’m making too many mistakes. I’ve taken care of others and now feel it is my turn. My life turned out the way it did because I made poor choices. Now I am paying for it. I used to be happy and enjoyed life (such as it was). Current worldly situations sadden me and I feel are a part of the tormenting and hopelessness I now feel.
I tried going to Bible study groups. I just don’t want to be around anyone. I can’t take hearing all the “happy clappy” stuff. I wish I could feel that way. I don’t want to hear what “you” bought or see pictures of your happy family. My family is not happy. I have tried to make life fun for my kids when they were young, encouraged them to participate in Church. None of them go now. Breaks my heart. My kids are not happy either, they struggle like I am. I look back and see that my parents went through the same thing. Feels like a family curse.
I was seconds away from going to the Hospital for suicidal thoughts when I came across this site. Read through the scriptures and read through the posts. I pray every day and ask for help and it just feels like it is getting worse. Waiting for eviction papers, waiting for truck reposession. I’m content in giving up everything now, and just want to start over, but with a solid and safe roof over my head. I was a Registered Nurse and can no longer practice because of osteoarthritis in my hands, therefore I cannot do CPR as required. I don’t want to manage other’s problems anymore. I just want to retire and enjoy life as I used to.
Hi Debbie, i also struggling and not been able to get out of bed for a week..I suffer depression and also have suicidal thoughts.Been very bad just lately and im completely alone with no one at all,,no friends or family,I don’t work so i have no colleagues and i don’t see anyone from one day to the next,life’s a existence but im trying to find hope in the hopelessness and light in the dark,I don’t know who i am or what im here for but maybe its to help others? i wish i could help you and i pray you and the others on here do come through this black cloud of depression and i hope you will also say a prayer for me ..God Bless
Thank you, Natalie. It’s a struggle each day. I have my good days (rare) and my bad ones (mostly). I have one desire to fulfill and I guess that’s what keeps me going. I will also pray for you to have comfort. I, too, do not have any close friends, and I am not working, so no coworkers. My family (kids) tolerate me. My husband has major issues as well and just brings me down with his problems. May God Bless all of us who feel this way and may we all find comfort.
HI thank you for your reply,I have Crohns had it for 23yrs and that has got me down with continual pain and meds then hospital stays etc..my husband ( number 3 and i split in 2010 and ive been alone ever since.The first was very abusive in every way and finally got killed at 38 yrs,next was same! plus all the affairs etc poverty and 4 kids to raise.Mum was 16 when i was born dad 17,and neither have ever wanted me.always been full of self loathing and just gets worse as i get older..my kids dont talk to me but have used me for whatever they could get and i havnt seen my 3 grand daughters who are 3 and 1 yrs but my grandson who i raised for first 2 yrs has been stopped from seeing me since i had a row with his mummy ( my daughter) my family wont support me when im ill and im usually left alone plus my other daughter who has married a woman who i don’t like and because i believe in God they call me stupid and make fun.upsets me because i am scared for them and what they don’t understand and whats happening in this evil world,feel hopeless and helpless.I wont tell all my life story its too grisly and tbh who cares its just another sad story and we all have them..looks like another day forcing sleep as its better than being awake..i hope we get through all this Deb and all ppl who are in this state because i would rather have a broken leg and be in physical agony than the depression <3
I cast no blame to my Lord for my pains, I love Him and praise him even in this dark time. I am overwhelmed with bad thoughts and searching my mind on how to die. My husband had me write on my bandaid “you will hurt me if you hurt yourself” and I read it but still the feeling is there….to want to be free from this life. I have ruined us financially as the last few years I have been unable to keep a job due to anxiety and the following depression episodes. We dont need to cling to posessions…I understand that in my head but my heart is torn with how we are loosing our house and already a car. Now we have to spend money getting a repair done on the house and we dont have the money – I haven’t worked since December….the longest time for me yet and there is no sign of hope only agonizing depression. Medication is numbing but I am still broken inside, you just cant see it as well. I did not enjoy my life. I cannot cling to the moments of happiness as they are surrounded by too much ache and sadness….bad bad memories. Even as a little girl I would cry to God to save me, take me away from the pain but never did I blame him. I was just a mistake and so will suffer. I do not want to spend any more time on this mistake of a life. Only things keeping me from suicide today is that I will hurt my husband, and I will not go to heaven and be able to wrap my arms around my amazing Jesus. Please pray for me as I am finding it harder and harder to cling to those two reasons to not hurt myself.
So sorry that you’re experiencing such difficult times. But YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE. That is a lie straight from the pits of hell!
He created you for purpose. There were hundreds of ways God could have prevented you from being born but He saw to it to create you after all.
Have you considered that perhaps your purpose is to go through dark times, walking with the Savior, so that you can then in turn comfort others, just as what happened in 2 Cor 1?
That’s what’s been happening to me. Six plus years of chronic fatigue, praying for healing almost daily, but healing that has only come in fits and starts. Yet the Lord has walked with me through the waters, and the rivers have not overwhelmed me. The fire has not burned nor the flame consumed me, just as He promised in Isaiah 43:2. What I really want is not healing per se, but the things that I can /do/ with health. And He’s been doing all those things! And He’s been with me!
What if God can deliver what you need in an exciting and different way than you expect? Have you left the outcome in His hands?
Do you have any memorized verses to fight the lies of satan? I successfully fight lust with Romans 8:6. There are some great verses above, any one of which can be quickly memorized as a dagger to thrust into satan’s belly.
Here’s some to fight temptations the feeling that you are a mistake: “The Lord has made everything for its purpose” (Prov 16:4) “The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” (Psalm 138:8) “all things were created through him and for him.” (Col 1:16)
(The last two verses are on one of the Hide the Word CDs, which sets Scripture to music, making memorization _very_ simple. If you want I can send you a CD.)
Have you read the testimony of George Muller? He relied upon the Lord during a bad economy to feed thousands of needy people, and never asked anyone for money, only the Great Provider. He prayed in the equivalent of $177 million in today’s dollars. Amazing. His testimony increased my faith when I was out of a job. Will you consider reading it as well? I can send short or long versions, either in text or audiobook.
In summary, you are NOT a mistake, that is a lie. I urge you to memorize a verse to fight that lie. I hope you’ll listen to George Muller’s life story. Take hope! He promises to walk with you in your distress!
One more thing: See what I wrote below to Rachelle about 24 hours of mercy. I think that’ll encourage you.
Hello Christopher..thank you for your words. I needed them And the reminder to give my worries to God. I will read the passages you suggested And would be grateful of anything you would like to send me as I continue to search for words to help me. I will try to heed What you told Rachael about the 24 hours and remind myself when I am in dispair that His mercy is New every morning. Gods blessing to you for comforting me and others. Thank you.
I have struggled with suicidal thoughts since I was a little girl. The first time they came around, it was because everything in my life had been pilling up: abuse from my father, my mother working all the time to support us, and my ‘friends’ bullying me and calling me names. I wrote the letters, I put what affairs a 12-year old has in order, and readied myself to meet God. Then my youth group stepped in and for the first time, I really gave my life to God. Now, at 19, I am blessed to go to my dream college and I am surrounded by wonderful Christian friends. However, the devil doesn’t come baring his horns, he comes disguised as everything we’ve ever wanted. For me, one of my greatest desires (and something I have long prayed for) is a Godly husband that will love me as Christ loved the church. And for a while, I thought God had brought him into my life. He appeared to be everything I wanted yet I couldn’t see peace and had a constant uneasy feeling about him. I sought council from my mother and others and they always ultimately said to do what I thought was right. As a caring person, my fault has always been to give another chance when people don’t deserve it so that’s what I did for this man. I could see that my mother was worried about me but I thought she was just being a mom. Long story short, he controlled my life and all of my time until one night he tried to get me to go too far and when I said no, he wouldn’t stop until I kicked him out. Devastated, I called my mom who rejoiced at my decision to end the relationship. She sat with me when I called him to ask him not to contact me anymore and celebrated when I said that I didn’t want to even try being friends with him. However, three weeks after I made that call, I was discussing the end of our relationship with a mutual friend who has a close relationship with God and just became engaged herself. She reminded me that we are to love one another, despite what they have done to us. Realizing that I held hatred in my heart for the man I had once loved, I called and asked him to meet me for coffee. We talked and I was relieved to know that I had forgiven him and that we both understood our position. However, my mother found out that I had met with him and began to yell about how she doesn’t believe a word I say to her anymore because all I have done is lie to her. I don’t understand how she doesn’t see that I was trying to love as Christ taught us. I don’t understand why she is so angry with me and why she is accusing me of lying to her for many months. My mom is my best friend and to know that she feels this way, devastates me. Last night, she said the whole world would be better off if she just blew her brains out. I feel like this is my fault and that if I weren’t here, she wouldn’t be so upset. I regret giving the guy so many chances and wish I had never agreed to go out with him but that is done. All I can do now is move forward. But as I sit here and reflect, the thoughts of my past come creeping in like a dark veil over me and I find myself clinging to these scriptures like a life raft. I just need God to mend these relationships in my life. I don’t want my past to rule my present but I feel like the one person in my life that I would always talk to at times like this not only doesn’t want to talk to me but is the reason I feel this way. I am so hurt and lost that it is almost overwhelming. All I can think about is leaving home and not looking back or just ending my life to save my parents and myself the trouble of figuring out a future without a college education. I need God to fix this and I don’t know how to ask.
I know its wrong but I cant stand the pain I feel inside. I feel trapped like I have no way out and I want to feel better but I think it will be better for everyone if I am gone. I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone, I feel hated and judged and I dint think anyone will listen I want help
Lynn – There is a way out of the pain and the situation.God can show it to you. The problem with where your head is at is that you cannot see the way out, and your good future.
Feeling hopeless does not mean there is no hope. It simply means that you cannot see the hope that is there. Hope is all around you, you just can’t see it or feel it. Depression is the feeling of hopelessness. It is like being terribly thirsty and having water all around you. Reach out and drink it.
Maybe the people around you are mean and judgmental, but then again probably not. It is all part of the depression. It not only blocks the hope but it also blocks love and acceptance. We accept you and love you. It is not better for you to go. It is never better for someone to go anywhere. It may feel like a solution but it is never a solution.
If you want to talk. We will listen. Call if you desire. I sent you an email. God’s word is real and He is the One who can put hope back into your heart. We love you and accept you.
Why does everyone tell me and others to pray, I have been for a year now along with a few friends and my life has been worse, my husband of 30 years has left me last year, now divorced, no alimony, no pension, lost my home to foreclosure, car reposessed lost my job, am living on friends and families couches, I apply for jobs daily for almost a year now and have not been hired as of yet, I am at the lowest of lows. I have tried suicide twice now in the year but someone has always found me, next time i will have to find a private place where no one will find me. I cant go on with the constnt chest pain and my face feeling like it is on fire 24/7, I cant breathe anymore because it hurts also. I for the last week have been praying for forgiveness and for God to take me to heaven and leaave this earth. Maybe God will be kind and answer that prayer since my faith has fallen off the last year. People tell you to get meds, how can you with no money no car no health ins. They gave me pills my last suicide attempt but when they run out I have no way to replace them. I have signed up for goverment assistance but no reply yet. Death seems to be my last hope. I never wanted to end up alone but that is what I am. I was married for 30 years and then to be abandoned like this is more than I can take, why did God not even answer that prayer to bring my husband back and not get a divorce, I always thought and it is in the bible that God hates divorce, yet mine was final anyway with all the faith and praying I did. Then others say it must not have been in Gods plan what i am so confused i thought God hated divorce, How do I do the things people suggest with no job no money and no car and what faith in greatness I had is all but gone now. My life has no purpose anymore I raised my kids and they are grown and have families of there own now and my dream of growing old with my husband are just that now a big dream that will never come true now, was it so hard to ask to grow old with the man you loved more than anythng. Why did God let that other woman come in and take him away with all her money and temptations. Does anyone really get it that if and when I wear out my welcome on friends and families couches its the streets for me. I now understand how people become homeless. I have always given to the homeless whenever I would see one. I only hope when I fall into the streets someone will remember me. Or maybe that is how I will die, mugged raped killed on the street, and no one will no whether or not I am alive or dead. But in the meantime I will keep praying for forgiveness of my sins because we are all sinners and that is why Jesus died on the cross for us and ask God to have pity on me and let me come see him to end my pain.
“Why does everyone tell me and others to pray, I have been for a year now along with a few friends and my life has been worse…” It sounds like you’ve been placing your hope in your prayers. Your hope is not found in prayer. Prayer in itself is useless. Neither is your hope found in a loving husband or a close relationship with children.
Your only hope is as the Scriptures above say again and again: Jesus Christ Himself. He alone is your rock, your fortress, your shield. He promises to be with you in the ache of seeming purposelessness and in the midst of the pain of bitter divorce — a divorce by the way which He hates, and which He one day will punish the unrepentant for committing against you, unless they repent and trust in Christ.
So please cling to Him for the strength to carry on. I speak from deep painful experience myself — He promises to be with you. He HAS been with me. It is amazing.
You are not alone. He is with you. Also, we are with you. You’re not the only one praying. We’re also praying with you, for you, asking the King of kings to strengthen you and help you and uphold you with His righteous right hand.
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. ~Jesus
I love God and I want to live may the prayers and scriptures live in our hearts not to commit suicide
Ryan – I agree with you. Read the scriptures and let the hope and love of God flow into you. God is the solution and never suicide. Father bring peace and love and hope and acceptance to Ryan in Jesus Name!!
We love you and accept you, exactly the way you are. Rex
Tonight, you helped save a life…
John – We love you and are praying for you. Contact me anytime. I am sending an email.
God sent me to this site. You have all helped. Please keep helping and praying for me and I will keep believing in Him. I keep using positive words. I will get through. Please pray for me.
I’m reading this book by Robert S. McGee as I read your entry, it’s titled THE SEARCH FOR SIGNIFICANCE, SEEING YOUR TRUE WORTH THROUGH GOD’S EYES. The first chapter will provide insight on what you’re currently experiencing
Thank you, I will look it up
Roci God died for all sins on the cross. What a lot of people don’t know is that sin is sin and there is no one sin greater than the other. I use to believe that sin was one bigger than the other. The suicide that you going through when things get to be too much is a spirit and it has to be called off of you in the Name of Jesus and he will go he has to flee. you have to keep saying it thought everyday and Jesus will help you. I’m a person that has been called to street ministry I pray and lay hands on the sick. God has given my an anointing so I can do this to call off demons and call them out of people. You have to find a Pastor that is anointed to do this and called to do this. if not then you can do as I have told you to keep saying you suicide spirit you have to come out in the Name of Jesus. Are you just use the Name of Jesus and it has to flee. It would help also if you get saved for Jesus. Give your life to Jesus and he will take it from there. E-mail me and I will give you my phone number and I will pray for you over the phone and call this suicide spirit out of you.
