Will i spend eternity with God if i take my own life? I'm in so much pain, have recently lost my small family ( mom cancer and brother killed by drunk driver ) I'm so depressed and cant deal with life. I have lost everything due to my depression, after living a normal God loving life, i'm now at the end..can't take any more pain. Have been homeless for months, and its all to much for me to handle. I just want peace, and want to be with my family again. I have given my soul to God, but my answers for peace have gone unanswered. Cant find work, shelterand food is a struggle everyday. I'm not a drinker or drug user, just depressed and about to give up. I love god and pray every day he will guide me. Will he take me with him if i take my own life? Pray for me. And for those who will say..."homeless and on a computer", i'm at a library..the only place i can find some sort of peace and rest...again please pray for me.

God has a purpose for your life, no matter how much suffering you are undergoing. He says, "my Word will not return to me empty." You are not just a person, you are a Word from God, which will not return to Him empty.
Hang in there - even darkness is light to Him, and NOTHING can separate you from His love. God will never leave you nor forsake you.

Dear,
I'm so sorry for your loss, and there is nothing i can say to relief you. all i can say is that you know and must be sure that God is the most merciful and he does nothing without a reason. This is a test by God my friend to see how much you believe in him.
I'm a Muslim, and God told us in Quran (our holly book) that he created us in this life to worship him and that must be the reason of your life. no matter how much pain you will endure in this life, God will compensate you with eternal life in paradise where you will feel no more pain or sadness.
pray to God my friend with all your heart to give you the power the endure this life and all the pain you feel, and give you the strength to move on and get over the depression you feel.
I pray for you my friend from all my heart. please don't give up, this is not what your mother and brother would've wanted you to do. be strong and find a job. the life is yours and it's your decision to survive and wait for God's reward.

Well I dont know the answer to your question but it sounds like you need to reach out for help. There must be support groups for people dealing with grief that you could go to. There have been two periods in my life when I wondered whether there was no better option than suicide. I simply had to persevere for a while, while I struggled to get a better handle on what it was I was coping with. I actually managed to get through it and today Im stronger than ever. May you find the strength to persevere too. Maybe one day you could give hope to others going through a similar situation as you are today. By the way, books have been a major help for me. Try going to the library and looking for books on how to handle grief. There are authors who understand what your going through and can give you insight into how to handle it.

You know I been where you are at... I want to chat with you but you will need to contact me privately. Do not lose hope... God did not put you here for no reason. There is help out there. I know... I was like you except the difference was... I was a run away.
Libraries dont let you email people. You will have to send me a letter.

For someone who wants to spend eternity with God what better time than now to get to know Him? Do you know who God is? Do you know what He expects from you? Why don't you ask Him for His help with the problems you are facing. Trust me, if you can't talk to Him now you won't find it interesting spending eternity with Him!
Some religions and cults do encourage suicide as a short cut to God. Nothing could be further from the truth. God is the author of life and the life we have is a gift from Him. What would you think of someone who does not value the gift you give to him. You would feel like taking it back, right? God of the Bible prohibits murder and suicide is self murder.
What about the things going on in your life? We do not always understand why certain things happen to us because we (humans) are not alone in this universe. There are spiritual powers at play watching and controlling our moves. The classic example is the story of Job. But I would present another perspective. Why do students have to take tests? Is it to make them feel they cannot study or studying is not worthwhile? On the contrary, it is to make sure what they have studied sticks with them. Those who love studying face tests with confidence. For them it is a challenge, an opportunity to prove themselves. Only those who shy away from studying think of tests as a burden. Life is much the same. The tests come to make us stronger because it teaches us to rely on God's strength since we are weak. He who has made us knows us better than we know ourselves. So just lean on Him.

please don't take your life, it is murder and it wont solve the situation.
The best advise i can give is start believing that things can change and change them. Everything starts with your thinking if you believe that you cannot make it then you will have a hard time making it but if you fight those negative feelings and thoughts and try your best you can make it.
Think of people that have started from nothing and have accomplished something, it all started with a positive mindset. don't look at the circumstances around you and start focusing on what you want. A positive attitude will get you on your feet, applying for jobs and working again. Its all in your determination to change everything in your life against all odds.

No.
When I read ur message, I immediately thought of these verses only,
19 The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison. 20 I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed.
21 Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: 22 The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue, 23 Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. 24 The Lord is all I have, and so in him I put my hope. 25 The Lord is good to everyone who trusts in him, 26 So it is best for us to wait in patience—to wait for him to save us— 27 And it is best to learn this patience in our youth. Lamentations chapter 3 (Good News Bible)
I will Pray. Our God is there and He will lift u up like He did Joseph, Daniel, David, Job. We serve the same God, so hope and trust in Him who lives.
Here's my testimony of how God changed my life,

I read your story. First of all I would suggest you not to get demotivated or feel depressed. If you really want to realize god inspite of experiencing miseries, understand one thing that you need patience to understand the concept of eternity. Try to build your confidence, if you want to get deviated from one thing then you must concentrate on another thing. Try to be positive, energetic these will bring you closer to god.
Make some good friends, read some books, try to love nature. Then you will be out of depression.
Cheers...
Will pray for your betterment.

Suicide is not the answer. That is murder and you know that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments.
You need to call a suicide prevention hotline right away. You need to talk to someone. All seems bad right now, but you need to keep hope. I know the number of a great prayer line. Please e-mail me directly and I will give it to you. Go to my profile here on Yahoo! Answers and you can send me an e-mail there.
My heart goes out to you. Hold on and God bless you!
