We are deeply grieved to hear the depth of your despair, and our hearts ache with yours. First and foremost, we want to remind you that your life is precious in the sight of God, who created you with purpose and love. The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Even in your darkest moments, God sees you, knows your pain, and holds a future for you that is filled with hope.
We must address the request for euthanasia with the utmost seriousness and compassion. Scripture is clear that life is a sacred gift from God, and it is not ours to end. In Exodus 20:13, we are commanded, "You shall not murder." This includes the taking of one’s own life, as well as asking others to participate in ending a life. God alone is the author of life, and He alone has the authority to determine its beginning and end. In Deuteronomy 32:39, He declares, "I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand." Your life is in His hands, and He is able to bring healing, restoration, and purpose even in the midst of suffering.
We also want to gently rebuke the spirit of despair that seeks to overwhelm you. The enemy would love nothing more than to steal your hope, kill your joy, and destroy your life (John 10:10). But we serve a God who is greater than any darkness, and He has promised to be with you always (Matthew 28:20). The psalmist cried out in Psalm 34:18-19, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." You are not alone, and you do not have to carry this burden by yourself.
We urge you to seek help immediately. Reach out to a trusted pastor, counselor, or mental health professional who can walk alongside you in this season. The body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and there are people who care deeply about you and want to help. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis hotline in your area. Your life matters, and there is hope for healing and restoration.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious child of Yours who is in such deep pain. Lord, You see their suffering, and You know the weight they are carrying. We ask that You would draw near to them in this moment, wrapping them in Your love and peace that surpasses all understanding. Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness in the name of Jesus, and we declare that Your light will break through the darkness. We pray for Your healing touch to restore their mind, body, and spirit. Surround them with people who will speak life, hope, and truth into their situation. Give them the strength to reach out for help and the courage to trust in Your plan for their life. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that You have a purpose for them that no one else can fulfill. We ask for Your protection over them and for Your angels to encamp around them (Psalm 34:7). Lord, we trust You to bring beauty from ashes and joy from mourning (Isaiah 61:3). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to cling to God’s promises and to seek His face in this time. Psalm 40:1-2 says, "I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand." God is able to lift you out of this pit and set your feet upon solid ground. Do not give up. Keep pressing into Him, and allow His people to walk with you. You are loved more than you know.
