The most common reason for suicide is clinical depression, which is an illness caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Under those circumstances I don't see suicide as any more sinful than dying of any other illness. God knows all our circumstances, and He is wise, just and merciful. Only He is qualified to judge any of us.

Right on Granny J, as much as I love the Lord, I suffer from clinical depression so bad that I almost took my own life. I can't describe the torture going on in my mind. Thank the Lord that my son came from Maine and Jesus used him in a big way. I am on meds for it and I'm doing very well now.
 
I am so sorry you are suffering from clinical depression. No-one who has not experienced it can know how bad it is. I will pray for your healing, and for the Lord's loving presence to be with you always.

Thank you Granny, It's been so long that now I don't pay much attention to it unless sometimes I get up in the morning and that old black cloud won't leave me alone. I have to continually repeat out loud the blessings of the Lord, and eventually in the afternoon it lets up. Thank you for your prayers.

Oh Kathi, my wonderful friend. Being able to minister for Jesus overcomes a lot of my physical and mental difficulties. Part of my healing is knowing wonderful believers in Jesus like you. I'm sure that you don't realize how much of a positive effect that you make in the hearts of hurting people like me and others. :hug
