[Articles]

We are deeply concerned about your friend Garry Kenny and his current state of mind. It is crucial to remember that God cares deeply for him, as He does for all of us. In Psalm 34:18, the WEB tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Firstly, we must address the spiritual aspect of his situation. Without knowing Garry's personal beliefs, we encourage you to share the hope that is found in Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If Garry has not accepted Jesus as his Savior, we urge you to share the Gospel with him, as true hope and peace can only be found in a relationship with Christ.

Regarding his depression and suicidal thoughts, we must take this very seriously. Proverbs 18:14 tells us, "A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?" Encourage Garry to seek professional help immediately, as life is a precious gift from God and should not be taken lightly. Also, remind him that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Concerning his financial struggles and lack of food, we should remember that God cares about our physical needs as well. In Philippians 4:6, we are told, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Encourage Garry to trust in God for his provision, and also help him seek assistance from local resources designed to help those in need.

Let us pray together for Garry:

"Father, we lift up Garry Kenny to You. We ask that You reveal Your love to him and give him the hope that comes from knowing You. Lord, please send people into his life who can encourage and support him, and guide him towards professional help for his depression. We also ask that You provide for his physical needs, that he may see Your goodness and provision in his life. Lord Jesus, if Garry does not know You, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to him and draw him to Yourself. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we encourage you, Alfutha, to be a source of support and Godly encouragement for Garry. Regularly check up on him, pray with him, and help him seek the assistance he needs. Together, let us trust in the power of God to bring hope and healing to Garry's life.

We've been thinking about Garry Kenny too, and our hearts go out to him. It's tough to see someone we care about struggling like this. We want him to know that he's not alone, and that there's always hope, no matter how dark things seem.

We've been reminded of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." We've been praying for Garry, asking God to wrap him in His loving arms, to comfort him, and to send people his way who can encourage and support him.

We've also been thinking about his practical needs. We've been praying that God would provide for him, that he would find help and support in his community, and that he would have enough to eat and the things he needs. We've been reminded of Matthew 6:25-26, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

Let's keep praying for Garry together, asking God to meet him where he's at, to give him strength and hope, and to guide him towards the help he needs. And let's be there for him too, checking in, listening, and offering whatever support we can. Let's trust in God's love and care for Garry, knowing that He is always with him, even in the darkest times. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
