DEAR earp224
i noticed that you are only 13,from your post . talk to a minister that is close and might know your friends parents,if they have faith in GOD.then prayer can move the soul and encourage,but we have to believe.
Father GOD thank you for providing a way for us to have a relationship with you,by giving us your one and only son to make an atonement for us so that the blood of JESUS would minister to you in SPIRIT and TRUTH for us.thank you JESUS for making a way for us to serve the law of GOD.thank you for LOVE.by the stripes that JESUS took for us when he was in this world as a man,we are healed..........in the name of JESUS........... amen

Seed_time is correct. But there are two questions to ask them. 1). Do you want to kill yourself? 2). Do you have a plan for how to kill yourself?
Many people mistake someone's self-loathing for them being suicidal. If thy are saying something they want help. Technically, they want you to fix it. Let's get this straight. You don't, but you can help. If they are truly suicidal, your best bet is to tell the nearest adult... Your parents, their parents, youth pastor, etc. If the person is in therapy, call the therapist. More than likely you will (meaning someone will) need to take your friend to the hospital. The hospital is
scary. They may be angry enough to spot fire, so tell them you love them and leave them alone. Thy may be very scared. Hold their hand. Give them a hug. Let them cry. Cry with them.
If they are not truly suicidal, but just really hurting then you need to love on them. You have no idea how powerful it is to just be held. Or have someone say, "I'm sorry. I love you. I'm praying for you.". Only Jesus can solve these problems. But friends need to stand by.
Be cautious with your friend in emotional moments. Ask if you can put your hand on them, pray for them, hug them, etc. In both cases (suicidal or not) tell them
compassionately what you are doing. "I love you _____. And I don't want you to _______ yourself. I think I need to _________. How does that make you feel? I know it's hard, but I need to make sure you're safe."
Be super sensitive, but make sure you do what needs to be done even if the person doesn't want it... But use wisdom. If their parents are the source of their
anguish, you may go (or accompany them) to someone else.
1. Clarify what they really want to do.
2. Talk to someone safe for both you and your friend that can help; or accompany them to talk to themselves.
3. Be very sensitive. Ask to touch, and keep them informed.
4. Do follow up if possible. Send a text, or call your friend. "just wanted to tell you I love you and I'm praying for you. How are do you feel?". DO NOT get too
busy just to say, "I'm thinking about you.".
5. It's really ok to say, "I'm sorry. I don't get it, but I will pray.". You can't fix it, and you don't need to try.
6. Do not pass judgement. One persons pain may mean nothing to another. But it is still pain. It may seem petty, but the fact is they're hurt. At this
point, it matters more that they are hurting and less what hurt them.
I know this because I have lived it. I have been on both sides and I can interpret a lot of things that are cryptic. I have been the friend of someone who was suicidal and one who was self-harming. I have been the one who was suicidal and self-harming.

I will pray for them... God bless

their parents aren't christian and neither are they how do i share christ with them?

Just share with them how Jesus's love has comforted you in your life, sometimes the honest heart is the most powerful witness.
Praying for you and your friends in Jesus.

God bless

I will be praying....

LIFE IS LIKE A DOUBLE SIDED COIN. THERE IS A GOOD PART AND A BAD PART. SOMETIME THE BAD PART SEEMS TO BE LIKE A VERY DEEP DARKNESS THAT WANTS TO SWALLOW YOU, BUT WE SHOULD NOT LET THE BAD TO WIN OVER US. ASK THEM TO DESIRE FOR GOOD THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THEM , ALL THE JOYS THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IN THEIR LIVES , TELL THEM THEY ARE ADORABLE AND VERY PRECIOUS AND JUST TELL THEM THEY ARE CAPABLE TO WIN OVER THIS FEELING . TELL THEM THAT THERE IS A VERY STRONG PERSON WHO CAN HELP THEM AND HE WILL HELP THEM ONLY IF THEY ASK , AND HE IS GOD . TELL THEM THEY JUST HAVE TO SHARE THEIR PROBLEM WITH GOD AND HE WILL HELP THEM. GOD IS THE BEST FRIEND OF ALL CHILDREN.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING SO CARING .ASK AND YOU WILL RECEIVE.

I know it is difficult to know what to say, but ask God to fill you with his spirit, and he will guide your words.
God does it many times in the bible, why would he not do it for today's people?


Luke 21: 15
For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.

John 14: 10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Exodus 4:10
Moses replied, “I have never been a good speaker. I wasn’t one before you spoke to me, and I’m not one now. I am slow at speaking, and I can never think of what to say.” 11 But the Lord answered, “Who makes people able to speak or makes them deaf or unable to speak? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Don’t you know that I am the one who does these things? 12 Now go! When you speak, I will be with you and give you the words to say.”

PS: Sometimes someone just being there, or being available, is much more important than words

Subject: Suicidal friends, and How do share Christ with them.

I pray for strength, and wisdom from God for you and a speration of temptation for your friends, talk to somenone you trust about this (Parent, guardian, minister, teacher), and can help you and them.Be of good cheer and pray for them.

Tell them about the good news which we have heard and is a historical fact that a great movement of peace came out of Jerusalem, Isreal 2,000 years ago.Nations changed their ways without a sword being drawn, healings took palce and take place now, no movement in the history of the world took place like this. It was because Jesus, the Son of God was sent to us to convert us into another way of life. He died because he had to take our sins, and ignorance away from us, he did this by raising from the dead and showing many himnself again.This is wy there was such a great movement. We have another life to look forward to because of this.God is with you..Be at peace...

I pray God gives you the opportunities and guidance to share.......it says in Proverbs 28 (I think) that the righteous are as bold as lions, so anyone in Christ Jesus is righteous, and therefore has a promised boldness, shalom!
