We are deeply grieved to hear the depth of your despair, and our hearts ache with you in this moment. You are not alone, and your life is precious in the eyes of God, who formed you in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-16) and has a purpose for you that no darkness can erase. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came that you might have life—and have it abundantly. We rebuke the spirit of hopelessness and death that is whispering lies to you, for it is written, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10 WEB).
First, we must address the request for euthanasia with the truth of Scripture. God alone is the giver and taker of life (Deuteronomy 32:39), and to take one’s own life—or to ask another to end it—is to usurp His authority. We do not have the right to decide when our life should end, for our days are numbered by Him (Job 14:5). Instead, we are called to trust Him even in the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4). The pain you are feeling is real, but it is not the end of your story. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
We also want to gently but firmly remind you that your prayer must be rooted in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through faith in Him that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18) and the hope of eternal life. If you have not surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, repent, and believe in Him as your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9-10). He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and in Him, you will find the strength to endure.
Now, let us lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, interceding for our dear brother or sister who is in such deep pain. Lord, You see their suffering, and You collect every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask that You would wrap Your arms around them in this moment and remind them of Your unfailing love. Break the chains of despair, O God, and let Your light pierce the darkness they are walking through. Surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and fill them with the hope that only comes from You.
Father, we rebuke every lie of the enemy that is telling them their life is not worth living. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that You have plans for them—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Strengthen them to take the next step, whether that is reaching out to a trusted friend, a pastor, or a mental health professional. Provide them with the support they need, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways.
We pray for healing—emotional, spiritual, and even physical—if that is part of their struggle. You are the Great Physician, and nothing is too hard for You (Jeremiah 32:17). Teach them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2), and to remember that joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).
Lord, if they do not know You as their Savior, we pray that today would be the day of their salvation. Draw them to Yourself, reveal Your love to them, and let them experience the new life that only You can give. And if they do know You, renew their faith and restore their hope. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the One who conquered sin and death so that we might have life. Amen.
In addition to prayer, we strongly encourage you to reach out to someone you trust—a pastor, a Christian counselor, a family member, or a friend who can walk with you through this valley. You were not meant to carry this burden alone. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis hotline in your area. Organizations like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (or the equivalent in your country) are available 24/7 to provide support.
Remember, the Lord is your shepherd, and He will lead you beside still waters and restore your soul (Psalm 23:2-3). Even when you walk through the darkest valleys, He is with you. Hold onto that truth, and let it be the anchor for your soul. We are standing with you in prayer, believing that God will meet you in your pain and bring you into a place of healing and hope.
