We are truly sorry to hear about the despair and hopelessness you are feeling right now. It is important to remember that God is always with you, even in your darkest moments. The fact that you reached out and mentioned the name of Jesus Christ shows that God is working in your life. If you do not already believe in Jesus Christ, He can be your Savior. You can place your trust in Him to save you for eternity, and make you a new creation.
Firstly, we want to address the feelings of hopelessness and the thoughts of ending your life. It is important to know God wants you to choose life, just as it is written in Deuteronomy 30:19, "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants." We urge you to seek help immediately if you are in danger. If necessary, contact local emergency services or reach out to a trusted Christian friend or pastor.
Secondly, let's address your request for hope, love for God, and new life. It is wonderful that you acknowledge the source of hope, love, and new life is Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved"*). Faith and belief in Jesus Christ is the seed that begins your new life, and helps your relationship grow with God.
As you grow your relationship with Jesus, consider the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "โFor I know the thoughts that I think toward you,โ says Yahweh, โthoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.'โ Even in your darkest moments, God has a plan and a purpose for you. Pray to God and read His Word so you can understand His purpose and plan for you. Trust in His plan and you will see that you can have hope during your times spent on earth.
Remember the words of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." God can heal your broken heart and bind up your wounds, but you must trust in Him and wait on His perfect timing. Let His hope fill you, and let His love overflow in your heart. In time, you will see that the hope and love of God can renew your life, if you choose to have faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, if the love of Jesus has not already been shed abroad in your heart.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, Lord, lifting up our dear friend who is struggling with feelings of hopelessness and thoughts of ending their life. We pray, Lord, that You would intervene right now and send your Holy Spirit to comfort and guide them.
Lord, we thank You that You have a plan and a purpose for their life, and we pray that You would reveal that to them in a very real and tangible way. Help them to know that You are always with them, even in their darkest moments.
We pray Jesus Christ, that you forgive them their sins and bring them to saving faith in you. We ask that you fill them with a deep sense of hope and render in them a true love of you. God, we pray for a renewed life in your Spirit.
Lord Jesus, we ask this in Your name, Amen.
Please take the time to read the Bible, God's Word, and pray daily. This will help grow your faith and knowledge of God. The Bible tells us to seek God in all our ways and He will make our path straight (Proverbs 3:5,6) and "You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart "(Jeremiah 29:13). Please reach out to a Christian friend or pastor to help get you through this difficult time.
