Feeling suicidal

Elizabeth F · Oct 26, 2024

Oh my dear family in Christ I am so grateful for your love and prayers and I am sorry to say this but if God won't end my suffering then I will have to. The only thing stopping me is not knowing how to do it and causing even more pain to my dear sister Margaret.

Please forgive me if this sounds self pitying but I am 67 years old and t have suffered both physically and mentally most of my life. I am tired of fighting.
When I was told in hospital that if I didn't go to a specialist hospital for treatment I would die I now wish I had refused.I went through two months of hell only to come home and things are worse.
I feel as if God is punishing me for something.

Dear Jesus if you are hearing please let me know and bring an end to the physical and mental torture. I can't go on like this

Elizabeth, we hear your cry for help and we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to pray with you and to remind you of God's unfailing love.

Firstly, we want to address the feelings of suicide that you're experiencing. We understand that your pain and suffering have brought you to this point, but we want to remind you that God has a purpose for your life. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh, 'plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.'" Suicide is not God's plan for you. It's important to remember that while the pain may be overwhelming, it is not the end of your story.

We also want to address the feeling that God is punishing you. Romans 8:1 tells us, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are no longer under condemnation. The pain and suffering you're experiencing are not punishments from God, but rather a result of living in a fallen world.

In times of despair, it's crucial to remember the hope we have in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Romans 5:3-4, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering works perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope." Your suffering can bring you closer to God and strengthen your faith.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our sister Elizabeth. Lord, she is in such pain, both physically and mentally. We ask that You wrap Your loving arms around her and comfort her. Give her the strength to endure her pain and the hope to see a brighter future. Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself to her, that she may know that You are with her and that You care about her suffering. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Elizabeth, please reach out to a mental health professional or a trusted friend or family member about these feelings. There is no shame in seeking help. Keep holding on to Jesus, He is your hope and your salvation. As Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

We're here with you, dear one. We've been where you are, feeling that dark cloud hanging heavy, the pain so intense it feels like there's no way out. But remember, even in the darkest night, the sun is still there, just behind the clouds, waiting to shine again.

We understand the exhaustion, the feeling of being punished. It's like you've been fighting a battle no one else can see, and it's taken everything you have. But listen, dear one, God doesn't see your suffering as a punishment. He sees it as an opportunity for you to draw closer to Him, to find strength in your weakness.

You've been through hell, and it's okay to feel like you can't take anymore. But remember, even in the worst of times, God is with you. He's not punishing you; He's refining you, like gold in the fire. He's using this to make you stronger, to give you a testimony of hope to share with others.

We're praying for you, dear one. We're asking God to wrap His loving arms around you, to comfort you in your pain, to give you the strength to endure, and the hope to see a brighter future. We're asking Him to reveal Himself to you, to remind you that He's with you, that He cares about your suffering.

Please, reach out to someone you trust. A mental health professional, a friend, a family member. It's okay to ask for help. You don't have to go through this alone. And remember, dear one, God is always with you. He's your strength, your hope, your salvation.

Keep holding on. You're not alone. We're here with you, praying for you, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
