Where is God at, when a person feels suicidal?

Question

Don't go saying that he or she needs to go to the emergency room.

I am sick of relying on humans. Where is this almighty God to save this person, to talk to him or her.

If God is so real, then why are we relying on doctors, therapists, and priests and pastors.

Where is God at, he created us, He should take responsibility for his creation.

LIke I said, don't tell me some emergency room garbage, I want God, the man who created me.

Answer 1

My sister committed suicide. she shot herself in the head. when she was found, she had a rosary in her hand. she had been trying to find god and gave up. i don't think she was looking in the right place.

I've found god in the oddest places, you'd be surprised. Look at the faces of kids at the grocery store. smile at them. see what happens.

go volunteer at a homeless shelter. see how it feels, you'll be damn surprised.

look in places you've never thought to look. Please do that for awhile first. I'm not going to tell someone to go to an emergency room, if you've got your mind made up, you've got your mind made up. But, try looking inward and outward and for good things for a week. look past the bad. that's where god is.

the world really needs you. you just don't know it.

Answer 2

If God were to intervene then we wouldn't have free will. Instead of wanting God to give you something maybe you would consider asking for these feelings to be removed so that you can bring yourself more in line with what God truly wants for you--- a life of wonder. Why don't you try doing something for someone who has it worse than you do; and if you don't think there are others who have it worse then you're extremely self-centered.I'm not judging--- I tried suicide by laying my arm open from wrist to elbow and someone "found" me. As I was coming back to consciousness I heard a thought say "This isn't your lfe to take--what are you doing"?? But when I asked the four people standing in my room who said it they looked at me as if I was totally insane.It took me many years to see how selfish I had been; and if I had died I wouldn't be able to work with adolescent drug addicts to help them see that life is more than escaping from their feelings, more than letting their thinking bring them to decisions far beneath their own human dignity, and more than they can imagine.
I hope you find some relief from the chaos or your thinking and know that you will be in my prayers.But if you think God is a man, well, that is your FIRST mistake

Answer 3

God is where he always is and always has been, right beside you. God gives us all free will to decide if we want to give up this precious thing called life because of a temporary problem. Call on him for help and put your faith in him. Turn your life over to him and I bet things will turn around. You will have more peace from within just by having meditation and prayer. I have been there, ready to kill myself and God was the voice in my ear, but he was the voice saying you can make it through this. You have to go through bad times to really appreciate the good ones. Good luck. Email me if you need a friend to listen

...Many of the so-called professionals can't really offer much help, try as they might.
...Jesus said in John 10:10b, "I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly (a full, meaningful life).
...If you are not experiencing the abundant life He promises, there are most likely some areas that require change in your life.
...In God's Word, there are answers available for every problem and need. God's strength is available to every believer.
...Have you ever trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin? That is where you must start. You must have a relationship with God, before He can help you.
...God will help you, but - He will not do your responsibilities for you. Getting a handle on your problems and having victory over them involves being willing to change and to obey His word.
...Do you know what He says in His word about depression, anger, fear, suicide? Scripture gives definite things to do if you are having problems in these areas.
... My wife and I have had some Biblical counseling training and would gladly listen to you and try to help you, any way we could. Please email me if we can help you.
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
(Acts 16:31)
...Whosoever will, may come.

Answer 5

When you're standing on the edge of a tall building with emergency services far below telling you you have a lot to live for -

God is the voice in your ear whispering 'do a flip'

Answer 6

I see you've figured out why despair is considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins. The voice of deity - any deity - is something that is heard in your heart, not with your ears. When you're feeling despair, then you aren't listening to that voice, you're listening to the one that says you're hopeless, worthless and weak. Just like you can choose whether to listen to a good friend or someone who likes tearing people down, you can choose which voice to listen to. But despair can talk very loudly and drown out any message of hope and love if you don't make the effort to listen.

Get out a piece of paper and write down all the things that are good in your life. It can be as important as your health, or as simple as a butterfly fluttering by your window just as you turn to see it, but there's almost always SOMETHING in your life that you can consider a blessing, if you don't let despair tell you that it's all worthless and so are you.

Answer 7

fine you want God? HE NEVER LEAVES YOUR SIDE...a person feels suicidal only becouse of the decisions they make in their life and they think God isnt with them when he's right there all the time its just that you're rejecting him or that your expecting him to pull you out of your rut compleatly and you dont want to give up the music you listen to tv you watch or even the friends you hang out with.I'm not telling you to go the ER I'm telling you to get your bible turn on some christian music and do some serious repenting and praying either that or go to a local church and talk to a pastor or a youth pastor.

Answer 8

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, He looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


Hope this helps you.

Answer 9

To blame God for every sin we commit is extremily foolish. Because of Adam and Eve's fall into sin, all humans are born with something called original sin. Original sin causes us to be inherantly sinful and reliant on God's forgivness through Jesus for redemption. As for why Adam and Eve originaly fell into sin: God put the Tree of Good and Evil in the garden for a reason, it was a form of worship. If God made it impossible to sin, we would love him because we had to, not because we chose to. By giving us a way to sin, he allowed us to love him by trying not to sin. That is why God doesn;t intervene everytime some one wants to commit suicide (or sin), if he made it impossible to sin, we would worship him because we had to, not because we chose to.

Answer 10

The same place he is all the rest of the time...in your imagination. Hasn't anyone ever told you that you don't always get what you want. I like the old saying "Sh_t in one hand and want in the other. Then see which one gets full first.

Grow up and stop acting like a child. Take responsibilty for yourself.
