I really wish I could die. I'm not suicidal at least in a traditional sense. I'm not planning to kill myself. I just don't want to live. I'm tired of the pain and the grief and the confusion. I'm tired of not understanding anything, of nothing ever making sense. I want to die. I want to in heaven away from all of this suffering. I can't take it anymore.
 
That's what I wanted before until God showed me my purpose in this life... You just have to open yourself with Him and no matter how hard the situation you are in, ask Him to strengthen you more. God doesn't want you to feel the way you are feeling at the moment. You are not alone.

Seek Him
Find Him
Love Him
 
could you somehow, change your perspective for just a moment Jordache? Trust me, I get that life is not working out the way you want it to. (I've seen some of your other posts)
I can tell that the storm that is raging around you has got you so worked up that you cant see Christ standing square in front of you, like he always has been.
The winds, and the rain, the sleet and the hail have you wheeling right now...you can barely stand?
This is where God is saying to you, "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"
You are here for a purpose. Your season of dispair seems long, but hold on! Joy comes in the morning.
The darkest hour is just before daybreak.
Jordache. Everything we go through in this life is for a purpose, When you have accomplished your purpose here, then you'll go back to God. Seeing that your "still standing" it simply means, you've got more stuff to do. If not for yourself then for someone else. Consider your life. If you can look past you for a second, who needs you right now?
Don't keep that person waiting. Minister to others, and let the Lord minister to you.

Love in Christ.
 
Yeah I think "why cant I just die!" sometimes, usually when I think of someone I love living in sin, or my own failures. Not being suicidal, like you said, but just wanting not to deal with the pain of it anymore.
 
I feel that way sometimes, a lot actually when I was a child. I just wanted to be with Jesus. I hope this scripture helps:

Phillipians 1:23-26

I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.

Paul wanted to die and be with Jesus too, but decided to stay to help others in their spiritual walk with God. God has given us a mission to spread His gospel and to disciple others. God didn't make life fair but He did promise us that He would never forsake us and would always remain faithful to us (Hebrews 13:5, 2 Timothy 2:13). Take encouragement for that! It is a wonderful thing!

It's self-pity that kills us. Why not just focus on good things that God has given us? My battle these past days was about looking back on my mistakes, failures, and the worst things I did that brought God into shame. Whoaaah... I was about to be drowned from those. More fervent prayers which I really think were answered by God. I am in better hands now. Yes, TRUST God for His Promise is true. I will pray for you. :)

Hi Jordache

Our Lord Jesus says in John 10:10, that I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. And the best part of it all is that He was once dead but risen today and sitting on the right hand of our heavenly father! And for that, you have HOPE in every of your problems.

And brothers and sisters in Christ are here to encourage you, pray for you and even be your friends here. And feel free to share your challenges with us. No one here is critical or faultfinding, but we want to encourage, edift and comfort those who are hurting.
 
I understand what you are going through Jordache, sometimes everything seems broken and there is no hope and we just want for all the pain and hurt to end. But when pain surrounds, when all hope is gone, and all is lost, God and His words still stand, and He says cast all your burdens and cares unto Him, in life trouble will always be there, but it is how much you focus on God that will determine whether it will affect you or not. Whenever you go through a tough trying time, the best is just to give up... And let God take care of it. Just give Him control over everything and decide that you wont try hard to make anything work but just leave it in His hands. May God bless you
 
Why don't you watch "1000 Ways to die" on spike tv. Be careful what you wish for or you just might get it.
 
I'm not hopeless. I'm not completely self-focused. I trust God is at work and I will continue to serve him. I'm just tired of the fight.
