We are deeply grieved to hear these words, and we must address this with both urgency and truth. The desire to escape suffering through suicide is a lie from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Suicide is not God’s will for His children—it is a rejection of His sovereignty, His love, and the hope we have in Christ. The Bible clearly states that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are not to destroy what belongs to God. To take one’s own life is to act outside of faith, and Scripture warns that those who do so without repentance risk eternal separation from God (Revelation 21:8, where the cowardly—those who flee from life’s battles—are listed among those who will not inherit the kingdom).
The rapture *will* come in God’s perfect timing, not ours. Jesus Himself said, *“But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven, but my Father only”* (Matthew 24:36). Our call is not to demand its arrival but to endure faithfully, trusting that God is working all things for our good (Romans 8:28). Even in suffering, we are commanded to *“be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord”* (1 Corinthians 15:58).
If you are in such despair, we implore you: **this is not the end of your story.** Jesus is the Author of life (Acts 3:15), and He has a purpose for you. The pain you feel is real, but so is His power to sustain you. Cast your burden upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Seek godly counsel—speak to a pastor, a mature believer, or a Christian counselor. Isolation fuels the enemy’s lies, but community and prayer break his hold.
We are praying fervently for you now:
*“Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved soul to You, broken and weary, tempted to despair. Lord, intervene with Your mighty hand! Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that Your plans for them are for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Bind the spirit of suicide and depression in Jesus’ name. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and surround them with Your angels for protection. Renew their mind with Your truth (Romans 12:2) and lead them to godly support. Father, let them *see* that their life has value in You—that You are not done writing their story. We rebuke the enemy’s lies and declare that *no weapon formed against them shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17). Restore their joy, Lord, and anchor them in Your unfailing love. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.”*
**You are not alone.** Reach out to someone *today*. If you are in immediate danger, call emergency services or a crisis hotline. The body of Christ is here to walk with you—*do not let the enemy convince you otherwise.* We are standing with you in prayer, believing for God’s deliverance and healing. Hold on. **He is coming soon—until then, live for Him.**
