I am saddened by the fact that it is obvious that our souls need God. Counseling? People really think that works? no.



Only Jesus. Look to Christ! He will set you free, he promises!



Pray without ceasing, it will pass!



God seriously loves you.



John 14:27, Jesus says: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."



Jesus gives us peace that passes all understanding!

Life is full of cycles, sometimes things are very good and sometimes they are so horrible we wonder how we will make it to another day. Most of the time it falls somewhere in the middle.



But most of the time, it is our own perceptions; our own attitude and our own actions (or inactions) that makes what is happening to us and around us seem good or bad.



There are so many times that if we could or would look at things objectively we would probably see that things really are not that bad and there are ways to make them better.



I remember a very old poem:



Life is a Gem, some seem to be greater than others, but ALL are unique and have great value.



Sometimes in the darkness one can hear the calls of a better life; a chance to trade our gem for a better one.



But are the calls echoes of the Music from within the Gates of Heaven or the Moans of Tortured Souls?



Alas, one can never know for sure until one steps through the door. And after stepping through it is to late to turn back.



If life is a Gem, an item of great value. Why would anyone willingly trade a very valuable gem, no matter how bad it looks, for what could be nothing more than a worthless empty box?



---



I do not know what the future holds. None of us do.



Sometimes there are just no good, simple or easy answers; Only the long, hard and difficult ones.



But if life is that bad now ... can staying alive ... and trying a different direction really make it worse?



Remember my friend, it took time to get in this mess, it will likely take a long time to get out.



May Our Creator watch over you and your family.

Seriously? First of all you are 24, if you do not get hit by a bus you will live another 56 years or so. Why end your life over problems that are, trust me on this one, fleeting. When I was your age I was in jail for a being a stupid teenager (drug charges at 19) I thought that life was horrible, I couldn't imagine it getting better, I had a kid I couldn't see, a girlfriend that wasn't being faithful, not her fault I was in jail, and no freedom. It passed, now I am happily married, have 2 kids, a great job and some awesome toys.



Look, I am not sure if this is a serious cry for help or simply attention, it is on Yahoo answers after all, but either way you have to realize that you are in charge of your own life, if you don't like your life then leave, move to a different city or state or country, pretend to be the person you have always wanted to be and eventually you will become that person, make new friends, break off all contact with everyone in your life if you have to but the world has SO MUCH to offer beyond the limited amount you have seen in such a short time. Maybe you are unhappy with every single detail of your life and who you are but all of it can change, absolutely nothing in this world is permanent except death and once you do that you can't change your mind.



By the way, I am not sure what belief in God has to do with this unless you are referring to the sin of suicide. I believe in God but I don't think you NEED to in order to live a fulfilling life. If you expect religion to answer your problems and you want God to lead you through life, remember that He helps those that help themselves and that there are many, many, many people both with and without religion that are lost in life with no direction, man I have a pretty good life (one that I had to fight for and basically change every aspect of my life to get) and I know what I want to get out of it but I still struggle, everyone does.



2 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple Schlerosis, I went into a very depressed funk over it, bad things happen, it is up to you whether you allow these thing to defeat you or you fight and try to make things better, sometimes it takes a while, and sometimes you know that no matter what you do, eventually something you cannot control will still take you down. So what? I will keep enjoying life as long as there is nice entertainment and I can still think for myself and so should you.



Plus it helps to stop worrying about the rest of the world, become a bit of a sociopath and concern yourself with only your own happiness, screw everyone else.

That is not true, I care for you. Your a fellow human being. You are special because only special people survive the fight to be conceived.



Please dont end your life.... try to find a place for yourself in the world. Do you like animals? Get a pet.. they will love you unconditionally and be there for you on your journey to feeling better about yourself.



I dont know your situation but if you end your life.... its over.... there is no afterlife... you just took something precious.... the world is beautiful... I am not talking the people in it.... I have little use for society myself.... I am talking nature... the sun.... water.... perhaps go for a walk to the park... watch the wildlife.. see how amazing life is... be part of that... dont worry so much about fitting into society... its totally screwed up.



Please go see someone and build your confidence...... if you dont have the money, tell the receptionist your suicidal and you need to talk to someone and that you cant afford it.... they will either give you an appointment or direct you to someone who works with people who dont have the money for a counselor. You need to talk about this... figure out why you have no confidence.... and fix that..... everything is fixable, even those things that look impossible..... right now it all feels bad... but in time, it wont.



Again, please dont end your life....

you would have put at least one of the things that you think are not in favour of you, I would have gotten a little bit of idea. Well since last week, I have been thinking weird too but I am planning on seeing a therapist or something because just like you I feel nothing is in favour of me either but I dont want to end my life, NO! Go see a therapist, seriously! Instead of a straightup lecture they engage you in activities that really help plus they let you talk and analyze what could help you, trust me talking to someone who doesn't know you at all but its their job to help you(a therapist) is way better because you can tell them every single thing. Well I haven't been to a therapist before but I have seen it on TV a lot.

Why bother dying when you haven't really lived?! Take a bite out of it!



Oh, and for some weird reason this quote from Conan came to mind:

"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you! "



Oh, and more serious quote:

“I still see my hands coming off the railing,” he said. As he crossed the chord in flight, Baldwin recalls, “I instantly realized that everything in my life that I’d thought was unfixable was totally fixable—except for having just jumped.”



I kinda think we get suicidal when we aren't living our lives the way we really want to. And if your problem is no one seems to care, maybe you just need to find people who do.

Come on, Darling!

You are alright!

Whatever happened - either someone has hurt you badly or rejected your friendly offer, or you are heart-broken, please, step back and give yourself a break!

Spend some time alone, STOP ACCESSING YOURSELF AS IF IN A PERPETUAL EXAMINATION!!!!!

You are still maturing, you are still climbing up the hill of experience, success, understanding, love, care and stability in life.

Just look at yourself from the point of view of a parent:

Would you throw to a street your son only because he is not a super star in everything, but just is doing as good as he can? Will you?

Look at yourself from a point of view of a disabled man - he thinks, "if I would have just known, I would never try to suicide" (which has resulted him being stuck forever to a wheel-chair, and becoming an unfair burden to the family)...

Look at yourself from my point of view - I would give everything to get my husband back to life (he died of cancer at the age of 28, when our daughter just turned 7 months old) - why do you want to end yours just because you are under some stress?

Please, get yourself together, do things which distract you from being so downhearted - music, travelling, helping others (orphans, elderly, forsaken pets...).

There are SSSSSOOOOOO many things in life that can cheer you up!

And, please, remember, happiness starts in a positive and clear mind and heart.

As for faith in God - if you want it much, you will find it in no time!

why would you want to kill yourself if you don't know how many people really care about you? there are people out there in the world who care about others suffering as much as you do. killing yourself will solve nothing to your problems and its a one way street to confront a temporary problem. its just an excuse to not deal with your problems permanently. every day I count my blessings to be alive even if I'm in your shoes I will not kill myself. it a scary, selfish, and immature way to deal with problems. life is full of favor and opportunities. if you want to die happy I suggest you live your life to the fullest so that one day when you look back after you leave this earth you will say "Damn I lived a pretty good life huh?". if you kill yourself right now you will never rest in peace and be happy when you are gone. do you really want to roam the earth as a sad spirit wishing you lived your life? Don't kill yourself!

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.”

John 5:24



“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.”

1 John 5:11-13



Suicide is not what God wants for anyone. We have a God who loves us and cares for us and promises to meet all of our needs if we place our trust in Him (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Please don't do it! You are still young and a whole life ahead of you. Do you think God will be happy if you end your life. God brings good things and bad things to people. He has a good reason for it. Just trust in him, pray to him!!!!!



Just don't end your life, ok?? Be strong! God Bless!

try taking one day at a time and things will look up as they did for me. if you owe money pay a small amount out each pay. if looking for work go to the same places every week at the same time and ask, but remember one day at a time and if you have the chance stop and have a chat to someone you dont know, best of luck

You probably don't need to kill yourself. Just lower your expectations, and don't put faith in God. Trust me, God is NOT present at your darkest hour. It's a false belief.

You'll wake up staring satan in his beady little eyes.



This is an absolutely incredible interview with Rick Warren, author of "Purpose Driven Life" His wife now has cancer, and he now has "wealth" from the book sales. In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: "People ask me, 'What is the purpose of life?' And I respond: 'In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.'



One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body--but not the end of me. I may live to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act, the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.



Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.



I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems. If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, 'which is my problem, my issues, my pain.'



But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others. We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her. It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people. You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.

It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease. So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.



First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church. Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call 'The Peace Plan' to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free. We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?



When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, 'God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.' God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.



Happy moments, PRAISE GOD. Difficult moments, SEEK GOD. Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. Painful moments, TRUST GOD. Every moment, THANK GOD. "



Take care and may God bless you spiritually. ♥ † ♥ ☺

Debilitating emotions are experienced by many at some time or another. Questions brought to mind when one is in an emotional pit are, "Could this ever be the will of God, who created me?" "Is God too small to help me?" "Are my problems too big for Him?"



However, if you will take a few moments to consider letting God truly be God in your life right now, He will prove just how big He really is! "For nothing will be impossible with God" (Luke 1:37). Perhaps scars from past hurts have resulted in an overwhelming sense of rejection or abandonment. That may lead to self-pity, anger, bitterness, vengeful thoughts or ways, unhealthy fears, etc., that have caused problems in some of your most important relationships. However, suicide would only serve to bring devastation to loved ones you never intend to hurt and emotional scars that will have to be dealt with the rest of their lives.



Why should you not commit suicide? Friend, no matter how bad things are in your life, there is a God of love who is waiting for you to let Him guide you through your tunnel of despair and out into His marvelous light. He is your sure hope. His name is Jesus.



This Jesus, the sinless Son of God, identifies with you in your time of rejection and humiliation. The prophet, Isaiah, wrote of Him, "He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all" (Isaiah 53:2-6).



Friend, all this Jesus Christ endured in order that you might have all your sins forgiven! Whatever weight of guilt you carry around with you, know that He will forgive you if you humbly repent (turn from your sins, to God). "…call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). Nothing you have ever done is too bad for Jesus to forgive. Some of His choicest servants in the Bible committed gross sins, like, murder (Moses), murder and adultery (King David), and physical and emotional abuse (the Apostle Paul). Yet, they found forgiveness and a new abundant life in the Lord. "Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin" (Psalm 51:2). "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).



Why should you not commit suicide? Friend, God stands ready to repair what is "broken"... namely, the life you have now, the life you want to end by suicide. The prophet Isaiah wrote: "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, a to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor" (Isaiah 61:1-3).



Come to Jesus, and let Him restore your joy and usefulness as you trust Him to begin a new work in your life. "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise" (Psalm 51:12, 15-17).



Will you accept the Lord as your Savior and Shepherd? He will guide your thoughts and steps—one day at a time—through His Word, the Bible. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you" (Psalm 32:8). "He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure" (Isaiah 33:6). In Christ, you will still have struggles, but you will now have HOPE. He is "a Friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24). May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with you in your hour of decision.



If you desire to trust Jesus Christ as your Savior, speak these words in your heart to God. "God, I need you in my life. Please forgive me for all that I have don
