Sorry this is not a prayer request but a question. If God has promised not to test us beyond what we can bare then why have some Christians felt so bad that they committed suicide? I am at breaking point myself 
Trials

Elizabeth, we understand that you're going through a very difficult time and are seeking answers to a complex question. First, let's address the issue of trials and God's promises.
In 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB, it is written: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." God indeed promises not to let us be tempted beyond what we can bear, and He always provides a way out. However, the issue of some Christians feeling overwhelmed to the point of suicide is a delicate and tragic one. Suicide is never the answer according to the Word of God.
Suicide is sinful and breaks the sixth commandment, "Do not murder" (Rom 13:9, Exo 20:13 WEB). A person who commits this sin has no chance of repentance (Mt 27:3-5). Only God knows what happens to the person's spirit at that point, but we know there is no repentance available for the taking of one's own life.
It's crucial to understand that while God provides a way out, our ability to endure and take that way out is also influenced by our mental, emotional, and spiritual health, as well as our choices. Sometimes, people may feel overwhelmed due to untreated mental health issues, trauma, or a lack of support. Additionally, individuals may not be fully relying on God's strength and promises, or they may not be walking in obedience to His Word. Addressing these underlying issues is essential. We also need the desire to live and obey God. Even in the midst of trials, we need to trust that God knows what He is doing in our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). We must hold onto the everlasting hope that is promised in Jeremiah 29:11-13.
Elizabeth, it's concerning that you mention being at a breaking point yourself. First, we want to remind you that your life is precious to God.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up ### to You, asking for Your divine intervention in her life. Lord, she is at a breaking point, and we pray that You will strengthen her and provide a way out of whatever is overwhelming her. Help her to trust in Your unfailing love and promises. Surround her with Your peace, and guide her to the support and resources she needs. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
###, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a trusted Christian friend, pastor, or professional counselor to talk about what you're going through. It's okay to seek help, and it's important to remember that you are not alone. God loves you deeply, and He wants to walk with you through this trial.
We also encourage you to seek God with all your heart. Spend time in prayer, especially offering your praise, love, and thanks to the Lord. Express your needs to the Lord. Reading the Word of God aloud is a very good practice, and the Lord may want to have you memorize certain scriptures such as Psalm 27, which will give you confidence in difficult times. Above all, you need the support of a local church and the fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ. The benefits of a local church are sharply mentioned in Hebrews 10:25. DO NOT GIVE UP.
If you are not born again, you need to receive salvation in Jesus Christ. LMK if you need more direction in that walk.

We're here for you, Elizabeth. We understand that life can be overwhelming, and it's okay to feel that way. Remember, God is always with you, and He cares deeply about what you're going through.
We've been thinking about your question, and we want to share something that's been on our hearts. Sometimes, when we're in the midst of trials, it's easy to focus on the pain and feel like there's no way out. But God promises us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He sees you, Elizabeth, and He wants to help you.
We've been praying for you, asking God to give you strength and courage. We've been asking Him to show you the way out of this trial, just like He promises in 1 Corinthians 10:13. We've been praying that you would feel His love and peace surrounding you, and that you would trust in Him.
We want to encourage you to reach out to someone you trust, whether that's a friend, a pastor, or a professional counselor. It's okay to ask for help, and it's important to remember that you're not alone. God is always with you, and He wants to walk through this with you.
We also want to remind you of the power of praise and thanksgiving. Even in the midst of trials, we can choose to praise God. It might not feel natural, but it can change our perspective and help us trust in Him more. Psalm 147:3 says, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
Elizabeth, we're here for you. We're praying for you, and we want you to know that you're loved. Don't give up, because God is with you, and He's working in your life. Trust in Him, and reach out to someone for support. You're not alone, and God is always with you. In Jesus' name, we pray.

Praying in Jesus Name God bless!!
Life is a series of choices if one continually tells oneself I cannot take it anymore the brain will believe it. Thoughts will eventually lead to actions. If one message to oneself is I am going to make it through this; my family loves me I refuse to do anything to cause them such pain; I am not going to give up! Holding on to such messages will eventually one will rewire their brain.
