Why is it that some people I know die before I do, and it seems that??

Question

I might just live forever and never ever die and I would be so
happy to take their place
and yes some people I know have died from cancer or they
are being treated to remove the cancer
or some people die from a disease that is not curable
and here I am the Energizer Bunny I could live and live for
the next 200 years and I will never ever die it seems to me
and I have had my times where I have been so sick and
I have depression and I battle depression all the days of my
life. I would rather just die someday and life gets to me at
times and life is not fair to anybody and I just feel like I cannot
keep going on like the Energizer Bunny I want to check out

Answer 1

I understand depression. I suffered from it for many years.

Think of this, though. God did not give you depression. Satan may have had a hand in it.

At the age of 44, I finally "got it". I turned my life completely over to God, and was baptized into His church. I was not immediately freed from the depression, but that freedom came gradually, in small steps, but rather quickly. Within one year, I just "noticed" that my years-long depression was gone. My life had changed quite a lot. I was able to receive love, where I had been ignoring it all the time before.

I was also useful to my church, also something I had been missing. Sure, I had a job, but I never felt useful.

Over time, everything improved. I was even able to have a relationship with a nice, steady Christian lady, and now we are married, and it is a blast! I had one marriage before that was dismal at best...... but it was certainly not Christian based.

I find that when I live my live according to Christian principles, I have joy pretty much all the time. Sure, "stuff" happens. My wife and I had finance issues at first, but we applied biblical principles to our finances and we are now comfortable.

Our families have suffered death of close relatives, but this time we were the "rocks" of the family, ministering to everybody else (who are not, by the way, Christians.......) People have started to come to us for advice.

So you may be able to use your "Energizer Bunny" life to your advantage, and to God's.

Maybe you are still here to give you more time to discover what I did -- that God is there waiting for you and once you quit carrying around your burdens and give them to Him, you will be a valuable part of His church.

Answer 2

Checking out is a definitely an option. I often wonder if I will go in the rapture or survive the tribulations or die. Now if I am going to die I need a plan. Trust me no health care pro is interested until you have a plan.
Being the obsessive compulsive neurotic PTSD riddled man that I am. I have to have a complete plan.
What to do when to do why to do what to do next and where am I going and what can I expect when I get there. Will I be greeted cordially or is someone going to be mad.
worry worry worry. I'm exhausted take my pills after all tomorrow is another day.

Answer 3

Well here's the way i think of it. God is testing you, plain and simple. He wants you to turn to him for love and support. He's challenging and testing your love for him. God never gives you anything you can't handle, everything he throws at you is for a reason. He has a plan for you and if that means living a long life then so be it. You have no control on how long you live.

First, let me start off by saying I'm sorry to hear about your friends passing. I'm sure you miss them immensely.

Second, for your friends maybe they did their job on earth and they were ready to move on. God doesn't explain his reasons as to why he does stuff the way he does and he shouldn't. We can't help it; we can only hope that we'll meet him after our life on earth is over.

Lastly, we all suffer from something you're not alone out there. But if you ever need a friend I'm here for you.

Hope this helped you out and good luck. God Bless!

Answer 4

I've been in two horrible auto accidents where I was the driver and someone else lost control and hit my car killing one friend in each of these two accidents
I have had the depression you talk about but now realize I must go on and do the things my friends didn't get the chance to do. It would make them sad if they could know I was wasting time feeling sorry for myself. Please get on with your life and try to live every day to your fullest helping others.

Answer 5

You sound desperate and depressed in that question. I felt exactly the way you did until you unloaded that depression thing on all of us. Your longevity is gonna be short lived if your mentally uncapable of staying happy. I think your going to join those other people who you feel bad for. Your digging yourself a hole with that train of thought. Be strong, and be thankful for your physical health, don't let your mental health decieve you.

Answer 6

There have been many times in my life when, in the blackest depths of depression, I have wished that I could take whatever years are remaining to me and give them to someone who really wants them -- a cancer patient, for example. These thoughts were particularly strong when my brother-in-law, who was only in his fifties, died of lung cancer.

I hear you. I wish there were something I could do to take away your pain.
