What would be the christian way to deal with suicidal feelings?

Well I'm from a christian family and in this family suicide is not an option. Were forced to believe whenever you think about death all you do is think, live live live! But what happens when your mind is soo messed up the thought of waking up the next morning is physically crippling?|||You are not alone with these feelings some of Gods prophets also felt like dying because of the problems they faced. Elijah when running from Jezebel said to Jehovah "It is enough! Now, O Jehovah, take my soul away," He then went up to the mountain to lay there and die,-(1Kings 19:3-8) He was so depressed that he even left his attendant behind. We may feel as he did and not worry who we would leave if we committed suicide. Job Gods servant also wished for death and said "The graveyard is for me."-(Job 17:1) If one knows the reason behind all the problems we face you will be more likely to' want' to endure.(Jon 8:32) The bible calls what were living in 'the last days' and saying that it would be critical.(2Tim 3:1-5) In Revelation it shows that humans are not alone on earth, saying Woe for the earth and for the sea because the Devil has come down to you having great anger knowing he has a short period of time.(Rev 12:7-12) So the only way for humans to survive is not only to claim to know Jesus but also our Creator Jehovah God.(Jon 17:3) Jehovah loves humans and has hope for them in the near future.(Ps 37:29; Rev 21:3,4) He is loyal and promises that he will never allow the righteous to totter.(Ps 55:2)|||Satan comes to kill steal and destroy, I wouldn't be surprised if he was influencing your life.


This is how to stand against him.


Ephesians 6:10-18


10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.





11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.





12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.





13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.





14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;





15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;





16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.





17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:





18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;|||Suicide hotline and counciling from whatever source you trust and can manage. I don't know what on earth Christianity has to do with it. There's not a special Christian way to order McDonalds or walk the dog. Do what's best in the situation, which in this case is to seek help.|||Pray to Jesus with all you heart.
