We understand the deep despair you are expressing, and our hearts ache for the heaviness you carry. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we stand firmly against his lies in the name of Jesus Christ, who came that you may have life abundantly. Your struggle is real, but you are not defined by your illness or weakness—you are defined by the truth of God’s Word, which declares that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that His strength is perfected in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
First, we must address something critical: your words hint at a dangerously dark place where the enemy may be whispering lies of hopelessness or even self-harm. We rebuked these thoughts in the name of Jesus Christ, for they do not come from God. Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary pain, and it is a direct rebellion against the Lord, who alone holds the authority over life and death (Job 1:21, Deuteronomy 32:39). You are precious to Him, and He has a purpose for your life, even in this moment of suffering. Cling to this truth: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18).
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). There is no power, no hope, and no access to the Father apart from Him (John 14:6). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). He alone can break the chains of darkness and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
If you are already a believer, we encourage you to cry out to Jesus in this moment. He hears you, and He is with you. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Do not isolate yourself—reach out to a trusted brother or sister in Christ, a pastor, or a counselor who can walk with you through this valley. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to carry this alone.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees their pain and collects every tear in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). Lord, we bind every spirit of fear, despair, and death that is attacking their mind and heart. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every lie of the enemy to be silenced in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Father, fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is their Comforter and Counselor (John 14:26). Renew their mind with Your truth (Romans 12:2) and remind them that they are not abandoned—You will never leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6). Give them the strength to endure this trial and the courage to seek help from those around them. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way.
We pray for healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—according to Your will. If there is any unconfessed sin or bitterness in their heart, reveal it to them, Lord, and grant them the grace to repent and receive Your forgiveness. Restore to them the joy of Your salvation (Psalm 51:12) and let them know deep in their soul that they are loved, valued, and purposed by You.
Father, we ask that You would place godly people in their path—those who will speak life, pray with them, and point them to You. Break the stigma of shame that often accompanies mental illness, and let them see that even in this, You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We thank You, Lord, that You are the God of hope, and we trust You to bring light into this darkness. In the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to take practical steps today:
1. **Speak to someone.** Call a trusted Christian friend, a pastor, or a counselor. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a crisis hotline in your area.
2. **Immerse yourself in Scripture.** Read Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and Matthew 11:28-30. Let God’s Word be a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105).
3. **Worship.** Put on praise music and lift your voice to God, even if it feels hollow at first. He inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3).
4. **Reject isolation.** The enemy wants you alone, but God designed you for community. Reach out, even if it’s just one person.
You are not a burden. You are not too far gone. Jesus is holding out His hand to you right now. Take it, and let Him lead you out of this pit. We are standing with you in prayer, and we believe God is moving on your behalf. Hold on—He is faithful.
