No, not necessarily David. What suicide does is immediately ends any opportunity for you to please the Lord while still in the flesh and as it is written, we are all here for His pleasure. From what you stated, you have not been nice, but naughty. You might want to change that before seeing your Creator. Just a thought. My blessings.

Would it? Suicide is actually a selfish act. It leaves scars on those left behind, wondering if there were anything they could have done to help you. My son's best friend committed suicide about 5 years ago and my boy still imagines he might have done something wrong. Besides, your own troubles would really be just beginning. L'Chaim!

Guest R.Barlow Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Just thought I'd mention that. Never noticed this section before. Is it new? David can you tell me how long you have been having these sucidal ideations. These are a symptom of depression. When the depression ends so will these thoughts. [edit] The mind can take us to some wonderful places, but it can also take us to some horrible places. Make a list of ten good things to think about, and when a sucidal thought pops into your head (called an automatic thought) swithch to one of the good items on your list. Please go see a psychologist and a psychiartrist to get some anti-depressant medication. Remember, they will go away as soon as the depression starts to get better. [edit] Hold on. Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. If you don't have money go to the Mental Health center in your county they are not concerned with money.

I've been going through the same things you are though at different times and different situations. Along with all other advice given: My senior pastor gave me a book from Neil T. Anderson during my interview to join the church. At first I was wondering why he gave me this book when I first started reading it. I stayed with it though and, wow, it has helped me out a lot with the source of my past thought life for one. The Bondage Breaker Trust me, this book is very enlightening as a help alongside The Scriptures to expose the subtle wiles of our Enemy. It really exposed the spiritual warfare waged for my mind. The only thing more that I can say as advice from a newbie to forum is to pray to God as your Heavenly Father who deeply loves you and just pour out your heart to Him; even pray back the Psalms that match what you are feeling back to Him with whole-hearted feeling. He loves it because He wants all of you. This book from Larry Crabb will help out on above-mentioned God as Father. The PAPA Prayer I read that too. It exposed a bad lie that I had always believed about my Heavenly Dad thanks to a legalistic beginning to the journey to Heaven. Hope this above helps you out brother in your journey to the City of God as the Lord Jesus intends you to travel. He is your Rock and Refuge.

Realize that in these last days satan will do whatever he can to distract you and hinder your work for God's glory and will. Surround yourself with believers in Christ, share what you have shared on your post, and soon we look forward to a post that shares your testimony of how God delivered you from this despair. Blessings and shalom to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
