What happens now if he grants you your wish to be non-existent forever? Is that what you want? Or, do you want your problems to disappear and to live contentedly without these problems?

Nobody knows the answer to that, so why risk it? You don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. Don't do anything that you can't take back. Think about what you would be putting your family through by taking your own life. Suicide is a very selfish act.God gave you your life and it is valuable to Him. It would be a slap in the face to devalue it so much as to kill yourself. Now that you know that you're not happy with the way your life is going when you're living it for yourself' why not turn your life over to Christ and live the rest of it for him and see how that goes? Seriously, you never know what the rest of your life could be. You may be the father or the grandfather of the person who finds a cure for cancer. Somewhere in yur life a you may get a chance to save a life or at the very least to change someone elses life for the better.Count your blessings and hang in there. Tomorrows a whole new day. God bless!!

I'm sorry but no. The Bible says it's a huge sin to take your own life, which God gave you to enjoy. It's like someone giving you a Ferrari, and you going "nah, I don't like the way it drives, bit bumpy".
God gave you the most precious gift in the universe - LIFE.
You need to pass this test of character - if everyone just killed themselves when they didn't want to live anymore (and we've all felt like that), there'd be no one left.
No matter how bad things look, there will be a time (tomorrow, the next day, the next week, the next year) when things will be fine again. Honest!
Take time off, go do something you love to do. Take a holiday (try Bali - it's paradise!). Life isn't meant to be how we've made it, but we can still enjoy it anyway.
Go to church (a GOOD church where you can FEEL God). Read your Bible. You WILL feel better, things won't look so bleak. Chin up!

Hey Benji:
Good name I like it. You know I struggle with the question myself and it is a weighty one. I do believe he may forgive you but he would be so sad and disappointed because you missed out on all the wonder he had planned for you and you won't be able to do it because you've killed yourself. Believe me I know bleak, but he does too. God knows about how hard and anguishing life can be, his precious and blameless son died an ugly and brutal death on the cross so we could live, every one of us. When you feel like killing yourself you need a friend. I am a good one man, one who's been there, and you know what counselling might help. I know a wonderful counsellor, mine.
Peace be the journey

Don't worry, San la Muerte--I don't give a thumbs down to people just because they are not Christians.
Now to answer the question. I'm a Christian, and I believe that God will forgive you for killing yourself. His mercy knows no bounds. I also believe that you are precious in His sight, and He will weep if you spurn His gift of life. If you kill yourself, I believe that something that God considers to be precious and unique will be lost to the mortal world forever.

Your life is a precious gift from God to you and God has a purpose for you and only you can fulfill that purpose.
I suppose that you are depressed or experiencing a crisis in your life, please hang in there and call someone you trust to talk to, in some time life will not look that bleak anymore and you will feel much better.
Please don't kill your self because there are people who love you and will get very hurt if you commit suicide.
You are in my prayers.

Killing yourself will not end your pain. You carry that with you into the next step in life. You need to solve the cause of your pain here and now while you are physically alive. Please, get some help. There is always an answer. Just because you can't see it right now doesn't mean there is no answer for you. Your problem has caused you tunnel vision and that is all you can see. Please get some help from someone you trust. Life is precious.

Why would you want to make God sad?
He has so many blessings for you, on the other side of the storm you face.
Remember this "Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems."
If you need a new friend I am always available-------I have been where you are now, and I am glad I chose life.

It's not up to you to decide when you will die. He has a purpose for putting you on this earth and He knows when He will call you. You are not to do this most evil sin. Life is worth living, because it's a gift from God.

Well I don't believe in religion so I really don't know about the whole killing yourself being a sin, what I do know is that nothing in this life is worth taking your own, no matter how bad it is there is always someone else out there who have it worse than you.

All difficulties you are going through are not just trials. God has plan and is preparing you for a new bright beginning - if you can make it. Please, God hates suicide so much I tell you. You cannot run away from problems. Keep walking!!
