Iam planning to commit suicide.Can you see God's purpose in suicide?

Thank you brother I really need your prayer. Thorns I know what they are like I will be very happy to have them instead. But no this is not such a thing. I am in bondage not from within though. I can't pray or read scripture or go to church or rebuke my enemy in Jesus's name. I see every time how my enemy disdain even my. God . I prayed and prayed for years for God to intervene nothing happened. Now I want to put my faith on the mercy of God and end the journey. But it is much better if God take me to him instead. Please do it if you can pray for me.
I am more of an analytical and "tough love" person so it's very hard for me to be encouraging and I fear that if I try it may come off as insincere. I have sent up a prayer for you and prayed against the spirit of depression you are obviously combating with. I prayed and asked God to rebuke it in Jesus' name and the spirits of fear and anxiety, to give you comfort, spiritually if not physically.

However, with that said, everything you say reminds me of Job. He went through so much, ended up in physical torment and it led him to begin to question things.

I highlighted the part in black, bold letters. My suggestion if you cannot read scripture in your moment of pain and I'm not sure where you are in the world, but you can look up free audio bibles to listen to. You can feed your spirit with praise songs, listening to preaching, etc. to help combat the enemy bringing you down.
 
Life_after_death, it can only seem natural to want to gravitate towards the idea of death and finding relief from it when one is suffering in great pain. Undoubtedly you have suffered greatly and you are suffering still. But suffering too has its purpose in molding and shaping us into the very kinds of people who can serve and glorify God.

Romans 5:3-5 states, "Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

As Christians we are not exactly called to avoid suffering but to embrace it as Christ embraced His. Now, I don't fully understand the extent of your physical and mental torment so maybe you are right in that your suffering seems unbearable compared with other people. But there were people like Apostle Paul who suffered greatly too (2 Corinthians 24-30), yet in spite of his sufferings he still continued his mission of spreading the Gospel and doing good works while he was still alive.

So when you believe you have disgraced yourself and others because of your "bondage", that's not all there is to the story. Your life is more than that. Remember, you are a precious child of God whom Jesus willingly sacrificed Himself for you on the cross. The narrative of your life can be a whole lot more than just living in pain and disgrace, only to have it cut short through suicide.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11)

You might question what God could possibly have in store for someone who suffers greatly and perhaps Job would have agreed with you too! But as we know from the story of Job and other men and women from the Bible, God has a plan for each of us even if we can't picture it clearly at the moment. Our very existence and presence in this world serves a mighty purpose of our God.

Earlier, you were asking whether committing suicide will compromise your salvation. I think you already know the answer to that, yet you were seeking an alternative answer from others. Suicide is a means to sabotage your eternal relationship with God. It is an act of self-murder which goes against God's commandment (Exodus 20:13).

If your very last act on this earth involves you killing yourself you are in essence telling our Lord, "God, your whole idea of creating me sucks! Your plan of letting me be born with an eternal soul and to live on this earth to build relationship with you and other Christians sucks! Your whole divine plan for whatever you intended for me-- but now I don't even know what that plan was supposed to be-- sucks too! Maybe you wanted me to do really amazing things to bring glory to You, but oh well! *Shrugs* I chose to end it all abruptly, so here I am! Tada! Now, are you going to let me in to heaven?"

What do you suppose God will say in response to this?

While I empathize with you, Life_after_death, I hope and pray that you will reconsider and choose life-- the life that God created and intended for you. Praying that the Holy Spirit will give you clarity of mind to see things from God's perspective and that His unconditional love for you will be sufficient enough for you.
 
If Jesus died for me do you think my act of ending my life can change the fact that I am a child of God ? do you think my salvation can be compromised by suicide? I am just asking
Suicide is murder and since the believer’s life belongs to God, it’s also stealing from God. Why would God forgive a man who murders and steals from Him with no repentance.
 
I am more of an analytical and "tough love" person so it's very hard for me to be encouraging and I fear that if I try it may come off as insincere. I have sent up a prayer for you and prayed against the spirit of depression you are obviously combating with.

Thank you for your prayer. I know God heard that prayer. And he can do something for me. What I truly want is to go to to him because I am suffering beyond suffering. And my suffering is beyond description. But I believe God can change this and help out of this. But this is like an ideal principle to me because I am so so so tired of having hope that God change things in this world. I know it is hard for you to pray to God to take me to him but you can pray to him to do what he think is necessary to me. I am praying for God to show you how beyond description my suffering is and prompt you to pray for me to give my eternal relief very soon. Stayed blessed my beloved brother. Stay in touch Your brother in our Lord Jesus.
 
Hi (Life After Death)

My Name is Jeremy and I know what it is like to go through terrible mental health struggle.

I would encourage you to pray to God about everything.

God CAN Pull you out of the mess you are in.

It is Not right to end your life for you are cutting short God’s plan.

I believe you will NOT Lose Heaven but you WILL Lose Blessings.

I will pray for you…just hold on.

God CAN Bring you to the other side of the misfortune you are in and you CAN find Peace in this life.

If you keep holding on, it WILL Happen. (Peace, Comfort, Joy, Love in your life)

Not when you Want it but in God’s Timing.

Please don’t end you life (LifeAfterDeath)

By the way what is your first name?

I believe that since you have accepted Christ you cannot miss out on eternity, but do you really want to face an eternity in heaven where you cut God short.

I pray and hope for deliverance for you and I hope great numbers of people can pray for you.

For the Word says the prayer of a righteous person is highly effective.

If many Children of God are praying for you we will influence our Maker and He will act on your behalf.

In God’s Timing.

Please give God a chance.

Dear Lord please Deliver the Author of this Thread (LifeAfterDeath) from all misfortune.

Give this person a reason to keep on keeping on.

Keep this person safe in Your Shelter.

May this Person have the Lord as their refuge in spite of the negativity in their life and in this world.

God Bless! Praying for You. Shalom
I am so grateful for your word's. And may god bless you for your prayer. I also believe in prayer. I believe when his children pray together God will listen and answer their prayer. I won't give up on praying to God. And I need you to keep praying for me if you can. What did Jesus do In his last moments, when he was exceeding sorrowful even unto death he fell on his face and and prayed. So I will follow his example. But in my prayer I will ask the Lord if it is his will let him take me to him and deliver me from my suffering. Thank you again Jeremy.
 
i believe death is something you have to earn- "why did god create me cursed?" is oftenly the argument for atheists, i believe its because your spirit has issues and to fix these issues you must be as good as you can in this life- and when the time is right you will be taken back and put into a better life
it all makes sense in the end, you can count on this. take some more risks in life, dont be afraid of death. when youre ready it will simply happen to you, but i do believe ending yourself will be bad for whatever you consider to come after this life
take more risks, put yourself out there- if you already want to be gone from this life then you have nothing to lose, and theres a lot of new life in freedom
Yes I believe death better be something you earned. I want my life to end that way. Dying like Jesus and his servants while doing God's mission. This was my dream. But I didn't see that happen. My suffering is as meaningless as it is indescribably painful. If it was for sake of God I am going through this disgraceful life. I may accept that. But I don't see any purpose of God in it. In fact, to the contrary as keep on living I unwillingly and uncontrollably hurt people. My life became a setback to God's mission in other people. The church I attend and it's member became victim of Satan's ridicule and his ugly deeds all because of my presence. I am ruining everyone's life and their fellowship with Christ. I my self became handicapped.gradually I was forced to stop to pray , read my bible and finally go to church. What is all this for I asked God. What is the purpose? And it is getting worse and worse. And now with this acceleration I am terrified to think of the future. But it is true God has a purpose in everything. But we are humans we break under our sufferings. Knowing that God is always right and we have to wait for him we become terrified of our misery and make our own decisions. It was best for Abrehham if he could wait for Isaac. But over the years he became terrified and make his decision. I can't blame him I don't know what it feels like to live like thatthrough utter desperation. My story is quite similar I became desperate. I could see no way out.

TAKE MORE RISK! I will be honest I can't I wish I can but I literally can't.

The scripture says
Romanian 8 :28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
i trust these words. when I make my decision. I believe God say this because he know we sometimes we become victim of our weaknesses. Thank you
 
Suicide is murder and since the believer’s life belongs to God, it’s also stealing from God. Why would God forgive a man who murders and steals from Him with no repentance.
amen, we all have a purpose. ive done things that should have killed me many times, obviously because god had some use for me later on. if you go ahead and test it however you may find backlash as god doesnt like you testing him.
 
What if we refuse to forgive others in the future? Does that matter at all?
Forgive others just as God has forgiven you.

You can forgive the person but not the deed. For example, if the person kill someone, then the deed is very bad. But if the person repent, you can forgive him.

And if we do not forgive others? What then? What happens to that future forgiveness you promised?
 
Some people in the worst situations have come out stronger. We all have struggles. We are all humans and have the same needs. The thing is to focus on other's needs. There are people who have been through kidnapping, rape, abuse and have fought their way out because they have a desire to live. The battle is in the mind and like the book of job we don't understand the big picture, but the bible says we overcome by the blood of the lamb (jesus) and our testimony. Seems like you have been dealing with a lot. I get it. I had cancer, depression and once was suicidal, but we can't trust ourselves. We have to trust God. He understands. Be easier in yourself. Your human. You are not alone. God is still God. Pick up your cross daily and follow him. Satan doesn't want good for your life. He will do anything to stop you. Tomorrow can be a better day. Be thankful for your blessings and bless others. The world needs you. There are divine appointments in your life seek. Lay your burdens down to God and don't strive to do things on your own not acknowledging God's hand upon it. There are people without clean water, food, shelter ect. We are all needy, but don't focus on yourself. Find your passion and don't let the lies of the devil keep you from moving on and living for God. No matter what you stand for on this earth there are going to be things that will attack you. No matter what you stand for so choose the right things to stand for. Don't let the enemy in the spiritual realm permission. It is not an option. You are not alone. People are watching your life. There are people you don't know, but they were praying for you. Wanting to be near your heart. You just don't know. God lives you and he will love you best. People will let you down. Focus on God. Get closer to what he says. Be strong on that. The bible says that we don't wrestle with flesh and blood, but the spirit and to guard your heart because it is the well spring of life. Keep pressing on. That is what the bible says. Be of sound mind. The battle is in the mind. God's plan for us is heaven not suicide. There is no purpose in suicide. Look at the details, but trust God for the full picture. God is in it all and he is our strength and redeemer. Take it by faith. It is about a relationship. You can't hide from God. Seek him and when it seems like the world is crashing down it is because God's destination for us is heaven and why would the devil want you to go there. You are a threat to him. No matter what you believe you are always going to have the battle and someone or something that will attack you and not be for you, but if God is for you than who can be against you because he has the final say on your life, not man's opinions. Just keep at it. God's plans are not to harm you, but help you. We all have the same needs in life. Trust his promises always and pursue and rely on them. Much love
 
Don't need to ask me. Ask God.
Jesus told us the answer but you don’t like it, right? If you fail to forgive others, not only are your future sins NOT already forgiven (no where in scripture) but PAST SINS are NO LONGER FORGIVEN. It would be best if you asked God because I already know and see to it that I obey Jesus’ teaching if for no other reason than I want my sins forgiven.
 
Lately my feelings have gotten you me. The bible says to cast down every imagination that doesn't line up with the bible. If you struggle with depression like me don't be afraid to get psychiatrist help. It is nothing to be ashamed of and of you even get frustrated with that and keep trying, don't get discouraged. That is where I am right now. It isn't easy, but rewarding to overcome. Don't give up, don't rely on your feelings. Sometimes life is a roller-coaster. Just keep going on. Don't miss out. God loves you. He loves you when your angry, sad, happy. He has a plan for you. Grapes have to be squeezed to turn into juice and wine. Diamonds come from extreme pressure. Character and achievement is rewarding to do things you never thought you could do. It can be frustrating getting there. Be kind to yourself. God answers yes, no and wait. Don't worship creation, but look at it. Everything has a purpose and he picked us over animals. Even the details in a snowflake or finger print is amazing! Our God is amazing. I write down things to go back and look at God's sovereignty in my life and pursue that relationship. Keep up the good faith and I will pray for you.
 
get psychiatrist help
i would very much advice against psychiatry as they spend 80% of their time on school studying drugs and only 20% of the time in psychology, they are drugdealers and many of the drugs they sell are extremely harmful, i know one guy who is very smart- yet for more than half a year he was failed to get off benzos, and just lately he had a relapse, and i have much more horrid tales of similar drugs- from a chemical standpoint the most frequently sold drugs contain actual poison that would cost them lots of money to just store as its a byproduct from fertilizer industry, disposing of it isnt even a choice because its that toxic. this chemical is a test directly from god but also inhibit our growth on earth, as the other part they pull out of the minerals is necessary to life, one brings life and the other destroys life and inhibits life through infertility.

nothing ill intended, i just wanted to weigh in on the very important difference between psychiatry and psychology

I didn't say I didn't like it.

I have no trouble forgiving others. I only have trouble forgiving myself but I am also healing from this.

You did not say that true. But you failed to answer the question and instead told me to ask God, which is totally a drop chaff and run move as Jesus (God) already told us what happens if we fail to forgive sin. What is a person to conclude if you are unwilling to admit this obvious truth but that you do not like it. Here again, we were not talking about whether you forgive others or not. We were not talking about you at all. You seem to believe all sins, past, present and future, are already forgiven. I asked the obvious problem with that is Jesus PROMISED that your sins, past, present and future, will NOT BE FORGIVEN if you refuse to forgive others. Anyone can see why you do not want to admit that, which is, you don't like that teaching by Jesus.
 
Not so sure. I am only a Christian for a few years.
I am not so hung up on the theory. I am not affected by that Jesus teaching. I don't even care about it. So why did you keep assuming things about me.

Okay I get it. You are one of those who likes to stay on forum and argue with people to no end. Peace out.

Why not admit that God says that you need to forgive others or all your sins are not forgiven? It is pretty easy to just admit that although once you do, then the cat is out of the bag and your assurance of being forgiven hangs on you forgiving as well. It is true but it is not as nice as assuming they are all forgiven no matter how you behave.
