Aging, chronic
pain, financial setbacks, loss of a loved one or home or job, rejection from a
friend or mate, and a myriad of other issues all contribute to the depression,
which can cause suicidal thoughts.
We want to escape the physical, mental and emotional pain, which is often more than we can bear. We contemplate methods of ending our life, believing the lie that suicide is our best option.
However, suicide is a coping method, which is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Most suicides fail, and some leave us disabled; but if they succeed, they cause our family and friends more pain than we ever experienced in our whole life.

God has an
answer for our pain. If we cast our cares on Him, He takes care of us (Psalm 55:22; 1 Peter 5:7). He will lead us to the perfect food,
medication, therapist, doctor or friend who will help take the edge off our
pain.
For instance, liquid Cherry Flex may relieve your chronic physical pain, prayer may relieve mental anguish, and making new friends or learning a new hobby may just kick emotional agony out of our life.

God created
each of us for a purpose (Ephesians 2:10). He
has the days of our life numbered (Job 14:5; Psalm 139:16). If we terminate our life ahead of time, we
deprive Him of our services for His glory.
God has people for us to meet and ministry for us to accomplish before our life ends. His ways are perfect and He provides for all of our needs according to His glorious riches (Psalm 18:30; 2 Samuel 22:31; Philippians 4:19).

Prayer:
Father God,
life is too hard sometimes, too full of negative issues, which drain our energy
and make us weary and depressed (Isaiah 40:31). Help
us to look into Your face to find the light of life we need to reap and not
faint (John
1:4; Galatians 6:9).
Give us a greater measure of Your grace to lift our soul out of the depths of sorrow and pain, and to direct our life for Your glory (Psalm 130:1). Remind us to lend a helping hand to fellow sojourners on planet earth, to encourage them and to help them to find meaning and purpose in their life as well.

Day:
Our light
affliction is fleeting and temporary. – 2 Corinthians 4:17-18
