Suicide can be defined as an act of self-killing, slaughter. It is an intentional action taken to end your life as a result of self-rejection, dejection, or humiliation, low self-esteem or worth. The spirit of suicide is responsible for suicidal thoughts. It’s often hard to pray when you’re consumed with suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts only survive within an outlook of complete hopelessness. Many people who struggle with suicidal thoughts feel like they are alone. Suicide is the extreme dead-end of hopelessness. Allowing thoughts of hopelessness to control your thinking narrows and darkens your path till suicide appears to be the only option, BUT IT IS NOT.
There are plenty of other solutions; you just can’t see them now because hopelessness has blinded you to them. You would be surprised by how much the Bible talks about suicide. There are several helpful examples of those who took their life and many reminders of hope throughout Scripture. Hope, true Bible hope, is the best antidote for hopelessness. Take the hope that is resident in the promises of God and put it into your heart. Your outlook will change. God has a wonderful habit of raising individuals out of impossible situations. He enjoys doing it, and it brings Him glory.
The Bible is full of stories of people, just like you, that were delivered out of extremely dangerous and potentially embarrassing situations – including His own son, Jesus. You are no different. Reject the guilt and shame, and absorb His love, forgiveness, and hope. You will make it out of this situation! The darkness will not last. That is the real truth, but for it to work, you must see it as truth and believe it.
This is where reading, speaking and meditating God’s promises come in. They will grow hope and belief in your heart. Allow God’s good word to cheer you up. God’s word is the only true source of hope because it shows the will of Him who can help. Allow the hope of a good result to seep back into your heart.
The hope that is resident in the promises of God will open the eyes of your heart, and you will be able to see again. It will get brighter. Suicide only appears like an option when the devil has hidden all your other options. Allow the Bible to open your eyes. Read the bible scriptures on hope, recognizing that God can turn any life around for glory and joy. There is supernatural strength and healing when you claim the power of God and gain support to fight on.
More importantly, pray! It’s often the very last thing you want to do, you will, therefore, require self-discipline, self control and strength that can only come from God.
