Perhaps my current challenges make me understand better why people commit suicide.
WHen you suffer alone and silently nobody seems to care, but when you've taken your life people wonder why you didnt seek help, but who do you ask for help, in this worls overfilled with persons who could actually help, but almost empty of persons who will actually help...
Dub me "King Obvious" of the Christian Dating Forum, but the clear-cut answer is we turn to God.
eMDi, four years ago, as a non-believer, I was forced to say goodbye to a woman who I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Letting go of her and that version of a dream I had brought me to my knees. For a good while I was limping along; feeling utterly helpless and alone. Eventually, I had no alternative other than to cry out to God..
I've thought about that a lot, what caused a faithless man like myself to beg for assistance from a Divine Creator, who I never believed in?.. I did it because God gave me a soul; made in his image, so during times of unprecedented trouble, I couldn't help but call out to Him. The fact that I wasn't religious or didn't believe in God at that time was proven to be irrelevant! We were all created by Christ, through Him and for Him, and He'll always come knocking at least once. I've witnessed other instances of such a happening too, where a (wo)man of the world, is stripped of all the hope they had misplaced in the world; causing them to turn to God during times of severe hardship.
I don't the know the specifics of your personal struggle, but this I can say - When the rug is pulled from under our feet, the ground we come into contact with is Sacred. When we are rejected, despised and betrayed, we are uniquely positioned to share in an intimate part of God's character. I write this from experience; through heartbreak I was redeemed. And in the process, God gave me a glimpse into who He is. I will never receive another blessing such as this until I take my last breath and stand before Christ.
The thought of taking my own life never crossed my mind, but if it had done so and I acted upon it, I'd have lost out on the opportunity to discover the Truth that I'd saught since I was a child. Nobody should ever contemplate suicide. It's not an option.
Don't put your trust on any human being.look upon God in times of trouble.Some hardships come to us and lead us to Christ so they are a blessing in disguise.
Turn to God brother,pray and have faith in Him.
Always remember there is no DUSTBIN for prayers.God hears every prayer that comes from His people.Even when we pray in foolishness He answers us in His great wisdom.
God bless you and may He show some light in your dark hour.
