Aspen I was once where you are now. My life was shattering around me and I couldn't see any way out. I tried to commit suicide but, thank God, someone found me in time to save my life. Thanks to the friends who stuck by me I came through it. I now have a good life and try to live it for my Lord as I know it was him who sent help that day. I won't lie and say it was easy as it wasn't but I found that through my friends I received the strength to keep dealing with it. In a sense I used my friends to help me at a time when I couldn't help myself. Please remember that people do want to help and they do want to be your strength. The biggest thing to remember is God put those people in your life for this moment so they could give you the strength you don't know you have. I know how dark things look right now but God has His hand in this and is not going to let go. You may not see that right now but help is all around you - please make use of it. There is light at the end of the tunnel even though you might not see it right now.aspen said:Suicide is scary but sometimes I want to do it. I know it is not polite conversation, but it is definitely a private indulgence for me. The hardest part for me is thinking it through theologically. God gets pissed about me wanting to check out of His nightmare?
Aspen, it is hard but you need to try and look at things from God's point of view.aspen said:I need this forum to talk out my pain. This is me reaching out. I am not attacking you I am voicing my pain. This is an anonymous board and I feel paralyzed right now. I am at risk of being fired - 3 day missed - I can't deal with my clients problems. So I am going to post here and I am not going to defend myself.
<<Suicide usually is the ultimate act of selfishness.>>lforrest said:You know the teachings of the church. Suicide usually is the ultimate act of selfishness. I'm not able to speak for God, but I have serious doubts he would be able to forgive that because there is no opportunity to repent afterwards.
Do you know how much God loves you? When I pray for you I can feel the Spirit rising up in me. I think God wants you to lean on him a lot more right now, and in the future. If you are thinking of giving up your life, try dedicating it to God and give him a chance to make it better. He is the only one who can give this life meaning, and there are so many promises.
I will be praying.
