Suicidal Thoughts - anonymous1 - 06-07-2022 07:40 AM
Been struggling with suicidal thoughts. Everything in my life seems meaningless. The only thing that seems to give me any purpose is my pets. I am having a hard time fighting the hopelessness that I feel right now. Please pray for me.

Lord come to the help of anonymous1 let him/she look around at their surroundings, and see the wonders you have made for us to enjoy during the day and even at night, when we see the stars and all that we can see in the sky. All this is free for us to enjoy and let your love flow through for us and be grateful for it. May he/her think back from when he/her were kids even if they were a neglected child we can always remember some of our very happy times all through our lives till now. How can we even think of suicide when we know that is a sin, have anonymous learn to enjoy life and be grateful so he/she can be blessed and able to enjoy life in it's fullness, as he/she opens his/her heart up to your love. Lord give him/her your peace and the strength to keep on going with faith in you, knowing you will bring joy and happiness to their life soon. Help him/her out of their depression. I pray in Jesus' mighty name amen.

I am sorry to read about the feelings you’ve been battling. It appears you’ve had a tremendous amount of discouragement and disappointment in your life. I am especially concerned to learn that you often feel no desire to continue living.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline operates toll-free, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just call 1-800-273-TALK. Their TTY number is 1-800-799-4TTY. I also strongly encourage you to seek out a person nearby who you can share your feelings and thoughts with -- perhaps your doctor, pastor, or another caring professional.
In the meantime, I wish there was something I could say to convince you that your life is of great value and that God cares for you deeply and intimately. While I realize that you probably don’t feel it right now, He loves you and is able to carry you through this trial. I promise to pray for you. It’s my prayer that, in the days ahead, the Lord will show you how much He loves you and how valuable and important your life is. May you find new hope and strength as you look to God.

Lord bring this child of yours out of that pit they feel they have falling into as you protect them and let them feel your love for them. May they also remember if their pets lose their owner, who will be there for them to feed, care, and give them love? They will miss their owner and may suffer very much, if anything may happens to their owner. Lord give this person the strength and peace they need to stay there for them, and be able to live to see you have come to help them out of that terrible pit, to give them hope for a better future. In the merciful name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen!
I was there twice in my life, how destitute and helpless I felt, I was so blinded with my pain and misery. Then I heard a preacher on TV say, when there is no hope left for us, we have to cling with all our might to Jesus' love and for His help. I asked Jesus to come into my heart and He took me out of that pit and have also put a new song in my life. That was forty five years ago, since then He has been there for me through my most hard facing situations in my life giving me the strength to face it all and His peace. I praise His holy name every day for He is our only hope and Savior in this life. I pray the same for you.
