Is it right or wrong to pray to leave this world and go to be with the Father since a christian can not kill themselves, because they are in a bad marriage?

I believe it is wrong. I don't know scripture enough to give you a verse on it. But I do know God and I believe that if you know his son Jesus, then you would agree with me.

Is there something you like to get off your chest?

To properly answer that question, more information is needed. Also, I may suggest to you that this would be best to be handled privately. Not with me, mind you, but with a Pastor or counselor.

Whatever the problem is, this, in my opinion, is not the place to handle such a serious personal problem.
My prayers are with you.

Elijah did it, after one of his greatest triumphs. I Kings 19:4

But I'd really rather see God heal the marriage (like He healed Elijah's spirit).

That is what God wants; He wants us to desire to be with Him, but most of us will not let go of this world.

John 11:44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.

Psalm 69:4
Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.

Hi Hula, God's blessings on you. To pray to leave the world must mean things for you are pretty bad. God already knows everything before you pray about it. I don't know if it's right or wrong, only God could say. It is never wrong to pray and tell Him that you are in total desperation. Is there anyone who can help you? Is there a pastor you can talk to? I am praying for you, for strength,hope,peace and wisdom. God bless.

In my opinion, it's wrong........... You have other choices.

Hula said 'they' are in a bad marriage; now all of a sudden we are sure it is her?
