I struggle with suicidal thoughts and I don't want them. I don't want to take my life I want to live for Jesus. I have battled with this before a few times and I've been prayed for about this before many times as well. For a time they leave sometimes for several months they are gone and then suddenly one day boom they are back again. I don't want to keep struggling with this. I do my best to avoid things that will trigger these thoughts because I don't want to invite them in but every time the subject of death comes up it starts the ball rolling again. There's only so much I can do to avoid the subject of death it's a part of life until Jesus comes back. Even Disney movies have death in them so I can't just live under a rock and avoid all humanity. I want this battle to be over and I keep struggling with a negative thought that says "it'll be gone for a time but it'll come back" and that sounds like a threat to me. I'm worried these horrible thoughts will just keep coming back over and over nagging me until they drive me past my breaking point and I don't want that to happen. So please pray that the suicidal thoughts will leave me forever and that I'll live for Jesus which is what I want.

Praying you will cast all your burdens upon the Lord (Psalms 55:22) and put your trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6).

If you have not shared your burdens with your pastor or ministry team I highly recommend this.

God Bless!

I am praying for you Jenny, Suicide is never the answer and those feelings are lies of the devil. Please understand that God loves you very much and is there waiting for you to call out to him.
He IS the answer to you problem!!!
Remember the Word is alive and you need the nourishment of it, So read the Word of God.

If you're having those kinds of thoughts it's best that you talk with a therapist about them. I don't know if you've done that already. A therapist can help you find the source of the thoughts and help treat it. If you need to find a therapist please let me know.

I suggest that you spend some time helping others in need. That seems to be the best remedy for fighting depression and suicidal thoughts. Perhaps volunteer at a local hospital or food pantry or homeless shelter? I will pray for you and may God grant you His peace!

Good responses above, and i know from personal experience He can rescue, and heal, and transform. It really is good and needed for us to absorb and meditate on the wonderful, love filled words of Christ (a few things He said everyday is so good for us), in the 4 gospels, and i recommend a clear and accurate translation like the NIV, ESV, NASB or other modern translation that are not too paraphrased (avoid the NLT). Here is a great site

Dear sister Jenny please lay your worries on The Lord and trust that He will deliver you from these temptations. It sounds like you are skeptical of whether prayers will help. You really have to work on trusting in God. Talking to a Pastor is also a great idea. Have faith sister and I guarantee you God will remove these thoughts for good. Praying for you sister. God bless
