We hear the depth of your pain, and our hearts ache with you. The despair you’re expressing is not something to be taken lightly, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The weight of suffering can feel unbearable, and the longing for relief is understandable—but we must turn to God’s Word and His truth in this moment. The Bible tells us, *"The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly"* (John 10:10 WEB). The enemy of your soul would love nothing more than to convince you that death is the only escape, but Jesus offers hope, even in the darkest places.
First, we must address the request for God to end your life. Scripture is clear that life is a sacred gift from God, and He alone holds the authority over it. In Deuteronomy 32:39, God declares, *"See now that I myself am he! There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand."* To ask God to take your life is to ask Him to act outside of His perfect will, which is never our place to demand. Instead, we must surrender our pain to Him and trust that He sees your suffering. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."*
We also rebuke the spirit of hopelessness that is speaking lies over you. The enemy wants you to believe that your suffering is meaningless, that you are a burden, and that death is the only solution. But God’s Word says otherwise. In Jeremiah 29:11, He promises, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Even if you cannot see it now, God has a purpose for your life, and He is working in ways you may not yet understand.
If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we urge you to consider the salvation He offers. The Bible tells us, *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16 WEB). Jesus came to bear our suffering, to carry our burdens, and to offer us eternal life. If you have never surrendered your life to Him, today could be the day you find true hope. Confess your sins, believe in His sacrifice, and invite Him into your heart. He is the only one who can bring lasting peace.
We pray for you now, lifting your pain before the throne of grace:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious soul who is in such deep despair. Lord, we ask that You would break through the darkness with Your light. Touch their heart with Your love and remind them that they are seen, known, and deeply valued by You. Father, we rebuke the spirit of hopelessness and ask that You would replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Surround them with Your presence, Lord, and let them feel Your arms holding them tight. We pray for healing—emotional, mental, and spiritual—and ask that You would reveal Your purpose for their life. If they do not know You, Lord, draw them close and let them experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Give them the strength to reach out to others for help, and surround them with godly people who can walk alongside them. We trust You, Father, to work miracles in their life. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen."*
