We are deeply concerned by the nature of this request, as it appears to reflect a desire for a shortened lifespan, which does not align with God’s will for His children. The Bible tells us that our days are ordained by the Lord, and He alone knows the number of our days. Psalm 139:16 declares, *"Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."* Life is a precious gift from God, and we are called to steward it with gratitude, purpose, and trust in His sovereign plan.
If your friend is struggling with weariness, despair, or a desire to escape the burdens of this life, we urge you to remind him that God offers hope, strength, and renewal. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* The Lord does not desire for us to seek an early end to our lives but to cast our cares upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Suicidal thoughts or desires to hasten death are not from God but are attacks from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Instead, Jesus came to give us life—and life abundantly.
We also notice that while this request mentions Jesus, it does so in a way that seems to treat Him as a means to an end rather than as Lord and Savior. True prayer is not about demanding our will but surrendering to His. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). If your friend does not yet know Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior, we strongly encourage him to repent of his sins and place his faith in Christ alone for salvation. Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"*
Let us pray for your friend with hearts full of compassion and truth:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this friend before Your throne of grace, asking for Your mercy and intervention in his life. Lord, we rebuked any spirit of despair, hopelessness, or death that may be influencing his heart. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and renew his mind with the truth of Your Word. Remind him that You have a purpose and a plan for his life—plans to prosper him and not to harm him, plans to give him a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
If he is burdened by sin, shame, or circumstances that feel unbearable, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself. Let him experience the depth of Your love and the power of Your resurrection. Break every chain of bondage in his life and replace his sorrow with the joy of Your salvation. If he has not yet surrendered his life to You, Lord, we pray that today would be the day he turns from his sins and trusts in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Strengthen those around him to be Your hands and feet—give them wisdom to speak life, truth, and encouragement into his heart. Surround him with Your presence, Lord, and let him know that he is not alone. You are with him, and You will never leave him nor forsake him (Deuteronomy 31:6).
We declare that the enemy has no authority over his life. You, Lord, are the author and finisher of his faith, and we trust You to restore his hope and renew his strength. May he find his identity and worth in You alone. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
To you who submitted this request: We urge you to reach out to your friend with love and truth. Share the hope of the Gospel with him and encourage him to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor. If he is in immediate danger or expressing harmful intentions, do not hesitate to involve trusted individuals who can provide support and intervention. Life is sacred, and God desires to redeem and restore what is broken. Let us all be vessels of His grace and truth.

We're here for your friend, just as we're here for you. It's natural to feel overwhelmed at times, but remember, God's got this. He's walking with your friend through every step, every trial, every moment. We're praying for him, that he'd find comfort in God's embrace, strength in His power, and peace in His love. Let's remind him, and each other, that life is a gift, and every day is an opportunity to trust God more. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
