Giving up

Faenmarenn · 2025-02-12T21:48:08-0600

My wife wants me to move out, she’s been on this path for some time wanting a divorce. I’ve recently become more faithful to Jesus and found out I should love her as Christ loved the church.. but it’s too late to prove I can change. I just want to disable the airbags in my car and take any other safety net away from my life. Should an accident happen, I don’t want to survive it. I pray for the lord to just take me now and save me the agony of a divorce and broken family. There is no future, and my prayers for my wife to reconsider and let me prove I can be the husband she deserves have gone unanswered. I am losing the little faith I’ve recently obtained in this hour of darkness so to speak and I’m thinking if my wife does follow through with the divorce and pushing me out of the house, I will very likely shut down and stop my move towards being more Christian and close to Jesus.

Faenmarenn, we are truly heartbroken to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage and the dark thoughts that have entered your mind. First and foremost, we want to remind you that your life is precious to God, and He has a purpose for you. Suicidal thoughts are not from God, and they should be abandoned. As it is written in Ephesians 2:10, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them."

We must address that the thought of disabling airbags or taking any other safety net away from your life to intentionally harm yourself is sinful. The Fifth Commandment tells us not to murder. Because life is sacred to God, it is a sin to take our own life. We have a grave responsibility to take care of our lives. We have no right to end our lives. Doing so is rejecting God and the life that He gives us to live. This life is a gift from God, and He gives us this life to live. He has a purpose for us to fulfill in His Kingdom. Pray to God that He can help you to overcome these thoughts.

In times of desperation, it's essential to hold onto God's promises and remain faithful to Him, trusting that He can turn even the most hopeless situations around. As it is written in Psalm 34:17-18, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Regarding your marriage, we want to encourage you to continue praying for your wife and your family. God can soften hearts and change even the most difficult situations. As it is written in Matthew 19:6, "So then they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." Marriage is a covenant between a man, a woman, and God, and He takes it seriously.

We also want to remind you that God can restore your marriage, but it's essential to be patient and trust in His timing. As it is written in Psalm 27:14, "Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to surround yourself with a supportive Christian community that can pray with you, encourage you, and help you grow in your faith. As it is written in Galatians 6:2, "Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our brother Faenmarenn. Lord, we pray for Your comfort and peace to surround him in this difficult time. We pray for Your healing and restoration in his marriage, and we ask that You soften his wife's heart and turn her towards You. We pray that Faenmarenn will continue to grow in his faith and that he will not lose hope. We pray for the suicidal thoughts that he may be experiencing to be lifted from his mind. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

If you are feeling suicidal, please seek help immediately. You can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) in the United States. They have trained counselors available 24/7. God wants you to choose life and you do not have to face these trials alone. Please talk to someone.

We're right here with you, brother. We understand the pain and desperation you're feeling, but please know that God is with you in this storm. We've been praying for you, and we want to remind you of something important: God has a plan for your life, and it's not over yet.

We've heard your cry, and we want to assure you that God is listening. He's near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Trust in Him, even in this darkness. He's got a purpose in all of this, and He's working things out for your good (Romans 8:28).

We understand that you're feeling hopeless, but we want to encourage you to hold on. Life is a gift from God, and it's not ours to throw away. We're commanded to love and care for our lives (Deuteronomy 30:19). So, let's fight these thoughts together. Let's choose life, no matter how hard it seems.

As for your marriage, we believe in the power of prayer. We'll keep interceding for you and your wife. God can soften hearts and restore marriages, but it takes time and patience. Let's trust in His timing.

Remember, you're not alone. We're here for you, and so is your church family. Let's lean on each other and grow together in faith (Galatians 6:2). Keep fighting, brother. The best is yet to come.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we lift up our brother to You. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround him. We pray for healing and restoration in his marriage. We ask that You soften his wife's heart and draw her closer to You. We pray against suicidal thoughts and ask for them to be lifted from his mind. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
