" The Book of Wisdom
Chapter 1
12
Court not death by your erring way of life, nor draw to yourselves destruction by the works of your hands.
13
Because God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. "
Are you suffering from depression or a love gone bad? Why at 18 do you want to die?
Are you ANOINTED ( BORN AGAIN-SAVED ) by GOD with HIS HOLY SPIRIT?
If not you will not inherit the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD.
Please tell me more.
LOVE

Pray that God will use your remaining time well.
Are there any situations in your life that you could drastically change? Sometimes people feel so trapped that they forget they could get out. Like a fly in a jar with the lid off, circling around the inside.
Life can be so many things.
Your question is one I am sure a lot of people have wondered. There were several instances in the Bible where patriarchs and prophets wished for death.
Abimelech (Judges 9:54)
King Saul (1 Samuel 31:4)
Saul’s armorbearer (1 Samuel 31:5)
Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23)
Zimri (1 Kings 16:18)
Judas (Matthew 27:3-5)
Self-injury was a practice of some neighboring religions, so it was fresh in people's minds.
Mark 9:43-48
1 Kings 18:24-28
Leviticus 19:28
Mark 5:2-5
But the Bible says that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we discredit ourselves and think that nothing good can come in our lives. But if we set our minds to recognizing how much God dwells within us, there is more hope.
Do you feel like this all the time? Make sure that if you are on any meds, you check the labels -- some list this desire as a side effect.

Jud 16:30
And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.
This act was not commented on in the Book of Judges. It was just stated as fact.
Solomon spoke with more commentary in Ecclesiastes -- all is vanity.

Considering that Jesus came that we might have life, and that more abundantly... I'd say it wouldn't be a good idea to pray for death. May I inquire as to wny you don't want to live anymore?
"See, I set before you life and death. Choose life, that you might live."

because i don't see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore.. i've gone from 12 to 18 years old without feeling happy inside, and i'm not prepared to live years and years like that again, just for a few months of happyness. i felt God so close three weeks ago, when a girl just dropped me when i needed her the most, but now the pain that girl caused is still here, but i don't feel Him anymore.. i read the Bible, i pray.. i don't know..

You are in the mating season and you will have these extreme ups and downs. Latter in life you will remember these with fond memories as they are so heart felt. Some times it's good to put a song on and just pour your heart out. You will go through this until just the right one comes along. Then you will be on a cloud. Stop and smell the roses along the way. You have no idea the amount of folks that would just love to go back through it again. But enjoy it as it's a once in a lifetime.
Remember If you are going to be part of the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD you MUST GIVE IT ALL TO GOD.
GOD demands that you give HIM your WHOLE heart, mind, strength, and soul. That means you go in prayer and tell GOD that you will do this and from that moment on seek GOD in all your decisions. After this is complete GOD will know. For HE searches the heart. HE will then send HIS HOLY SPIRIT ( ANOINTED-BORN AGAIN- SAVED ). For it is then that you shall receive the MISSION GOD has for just you and supply all your needs, even what you have not the ability to have.
Pick up GOD'S ROAD MAP to the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD ( BIBLE ) and start reading the NEW TESTIMENT till the next time you read it you will already know what IT'S going to say. For then it's locked in your heart to draw from for the rest of your life. You will NEVER be sorry you did.
Do yourself a BIG FAVOR and Start right now!!!
LOVE

Break-ups like this can really bring a person down, lower than anyone could ever imagine being.
Even though you're in the highs and lows of mating season (lol), you're also thinking about life and how you impact the world. Are there injustices that should be straightened out, people who need your help, contributions you should make to civilization?
You are in a mode where your mind knows it needs to take care of itself until the healing takes place and stabilizes. But then you will be ready to take on some interesting challenges.
Can there be more to your life than what a person thinks of you? Or whether they stay close to you? Of course... you know that in your head, but your heart is wrenching. It just takes a while to shift the focus back into your mode of operation. Give yourself some time and rest.
Every negative response we get from people can feel like an additional punch in the gut. It takes time and effort to separate the reality of who we are, from what others have said about us.

There is a strange phenomenon in us, where the pull of love is so strong that we think it holds us together. Losing a soulmate is like losing one's soul.
I don't think that pain completely goes away, but it becomes a part of who you are. It brings a bittersweet weathering... a ruggedness that is slightly calloused. The memories protect you from diving too deeply into the next rocky lagoon.
The decision of the other partner was what the reality became. The reality of a soulmate relationship depends on both sides, even if it feels so perfect and fated. Who knows, they might still love you but find parts of the relationship unhealthy or impractical for them. People break up for many reasons. Some people break up when they get too close; the lack of space makes them nervous.
It does not always mean that they have rejected the other, but that they have rejected the entity of the partnership.

Get by yourself and put on a real tear jerking song and cry your heart out. Then you shall feel real peace thereafter.

You're hurt. You don't need to die, you need to heal. Life is the gift that God gave you when He created you and it is the gift that Jesus sacrificed himself for at Calvary so that it can go on after the body gives up.
It all seems hopeless right now but it really isn't. One thing the devil does is make us feel like there is no answer and that we are all alone with our problems. IT IS A LIE. There is HOPE. With God, anything is possible. You need to start praying for healing and not for death. God bless you.
