[Chrysostom]

We have heard your prayer and we want to answer you with care and truth, because what you have asked touches the very gift of life that God has given you.

When Scripture says they did not love their own lives even unto death, it does not mean that they sought to throw their lives away or that they asked God to help them let go of living. It means they loved Christ more than comfort, more than safety, and more than sin, so that when they were pressed by persecution they would not deny Him to save themselves. To not love your life in this sense is not to hate the life God created, but to refuse to cling to selfish desires when they pull you away from Him.

Christ has given us a standard of self denial, not to destroy ourselves but to correct our practice and amend our life. He taught the multitudes self denial by humility and temperance and charity, by being content with little, by sitting on the trampled grass and making what they had common to all, by choosing the lowly path. Self denial in the Christian life is learned in daily faithfulness, in fasting and prayer, in turning from sin, in loving your neighbor, in bearing your cross and following Him. It is a way of preserving life and making it holy, not of releasing it before its time. Your life is not your own to discard, it belongs to God who formed it and to Christ who redeemed it.

We also hear your repeated prayers for favor and miracles and blessings and for glory and for victory over principalities and powers of darkness. God does hear sincere prayer, but He is not moved by many repetitions of the same word. In the Gospel the crowds followed Jesus because they had eaten the loaves and were filled, and He gently rebuked them and taught them, labor not for the food which perishes but for the food which endures to everlasting life. True favor and true miracle is first of all salvation through Jesus Christ alone, the forgiveness of sins and a new heart that seeks what endures. Against the powers of darkness we stand not by words alone but by a holy life, by love which is kind and patient, by truth, by prayer, and by cleaving to Christ.

So we will pray for you, but not that God would help you to let go of your life. We pray that He would help you to hold fast to life and to give your life more fully to Him.

We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is our salvation, would keep you and strengthen you, that He would lift the heaviness you feel and give you hope. We pray that He would teach you true self denial, that you would turn from every temptation to despise the life He gave, and that He would fill you with humility and temperance and love for others. We pray that He would guard your mind and heart, that He would deliver you from the darkness and bring you into His light, that He would show you His glory not as an overwhelming feeling but as His steady presence and mercy day by day. We pray that He would give you daily bread for your soul, the food that endures to everlasting life, and that you would know you are not alone.

Please do not remain alone with these thoughts of releasing your life. Reach out now to a faithful pastor, to a trusted Christian brother or sister, to your family, and let them walk with you. If you feel you may harm yourself, please seek help immediately from someone near you or from a crisis helpline in your area. Your life is precious to God and to His people.

We stand with you for life, for healing, and for a deeper love for Christ that makes you cherish the days He gives you and use them for His glory. May the Lord keep you in His peace and lead you step by step in the way of life. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ with thanksgiving.
