Suicide Is A Lie 🙏🏻😇🙌🏻

It’s not what you think it really is

Many have contemplated,
while many others have never tried
Many others have attempted,
while many others have died

Many people just don’t understand,
what you feel inside deep within
It’s very hard to express in words,
because you have no idea where to begin

There are just so many days,
that we really just cannot cope
Then there are so many days,
that all we really have is hope

All of the feelings of sadness,
and the feelings of fear,
All of feelings of doubt,
and of uncertainty appear

Holding on tight, sometimes for dear life,
and the feelings of being all alone,
The feelings as if no one really cares,
and the feelings that you’re all on your own

You have no one else to turn to,
and you have nowhere else to go
You have no where else to run and hide,
and you have no one else who cares to know

The truth is that these are all lies,
that many of us have been told
For having faith, hope, and trust in Him
our lives will begin to make sense and unfold

It’s always in the trials and times like these,
that we must learn to trust Jesus most
Because living life is just simply a test,
to test our trust and belief in the Holy Ghost

Just know that no matter what happens,
God will always be by your side,
Once you decide to give it all to Him,
His arms will always be held open wide

His love for you is unlike any other,
and He gives us no more than we can bear
So learn to simply let go and let God,
so He can show you just how much He does care

Beautiful. May I write a poem for you?

What an affront to those who've died
In other ways, is suicide.
To those who never wanted death,
Who struggled for just one more breath.

It seems so wrong for one to just
Trample God's gift, LIFE, in the dust.
If only they could realize
How precious they are, in God's eyes.

Shorter, but I mean it with all my heart.
Peace be with you.

I’ve suffered from MDD since 2005, and so I know a lot about suicide, as I have experienced it first hand. All of the poems are written due to personal experiences in my own life, in hopes that they might help or inspire others about God.

THis is beautiful really is thanks for sharing
But what if one has a mental illness scizophrenia and is a christian and suicides.
what then? what are your thoughts on that that she cannot live like this anymore
that its too painful to remember the way she was or has losther way with God
what then
there are lots of grey areas no black and white all the time. However i enjoyed your poem thanks

I believe that, if someone is in such dire straits as you describe, heartfelt prayer will help them find a way to cope.
I have survived two different near fatal illnesses, so I believe that with all my heart.
Also, I don't believe one can lose their way home to God; not really. If they truly want to go back, they need only sit right down in the very dirt and cry, like any lost child; "FATHER! Come find me, I need you," and He will be there. No exceptions. As Mark 9:24 says, "I believe! Help my unbelief".

Well if the schizophrenia was that severe yes and they don’t ask or know their own mind that is the exception

Anyway I was just curious what he thought thanks for your input angel x

I understand more than you know. In the last year, I’ve learned about spiritual warfare, and specifically how to identify it, and combat it. I’ve had someone help remove a demon spirit deep within me that was creating this mental illness in me. So with the grace of God, I found a website called www.testofbelievers.com, run by Lloyd Chin. There is a prayer there that I think you should try, as it helped heal me with the powerful hand of God. It has helped change my life, as well as always looking to GOD for protection from the demon spirits that cause a lot of our illnesses and sicknesses. If I remember it correctly, it’s called the ONe Warfare Prayer. I’ll oray for you as well, but would love to see you try this, and let me know if and how it has helped you as well. God loves you Sister. Never ever forget this. God Bless 😇
