I'm not going to do anything to hurt myself, so don't worry, only God can make a decision like that, but just wishing something would happen to me, so I would be gone, I am worthless now, no job, no way to take care of my wife, can't drive my truck, can't pay my bills, can't even put food in the house, all I am is taking up space and being a burden to my wife, at least with the insurance she would have something, I'm certainly not worth anything alive, I just feel like a waste of space. We are going to lose everything and I cant do anything about it, at least when I was working I was contributing something, now nothing

You are a blessed and highly favored child of the one true God! I had to learn to speak to my problems not about them. We weren't made to survive, we were made to thrive. Don't listen the lies the devil is throwing at you. Lift up your head, square your shoulders and fight with everything you have! The bible says to seek FIRST the kingdom of God and THEN all these things will be added to you. Including finances. The bible doesn't say figure it out it says Trust God. Your not worthless and you CAN get through this.

I think it is human to feel that way sometimes. Even John wanted to die (but realized there were people who needed him).
Try doing voluntary work until you get a new job. It will make you feel better, it will help others, and potential employers will see you did something while not having a regular job

Is that how you look at it or how your wife looks at it? I'm guessing that she doesn't see it that way. Don't be so hard on yourself it won't change anything and making your self depressed will make it harder not easier to find work.

Lord, give this man a fresh new revelation of your love for him Father God: let him know that he is your beloved, and that he is wonderfully made, and is loved by you. Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

I'm praying for you too (if you can still read this forum). I'll tell you this much, you are more than how much you produce, and you are not worthless because a problem has gone out of your control. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, butt I will say it's natural to just want the pain to stop and to just get out, of course it is. Across the Bible you see people that wish they were dead when everything's overwhelming. I know I've thought "I want to die" before. But God says that those people will be blessed. He is going to take you in his hand and bring your through this. Promise. Hang in there wherever you are!
