If there is a God.....then why..?

Question

IF there is a God and He loves me and does not want me to suffer/hurt....then why won't he let me die......?

I tried suicide many times for the past 8 years and obviously still here and suffering, if not worse than before.....

Answer 1

I Tried to suicide 10 times in a row, but I never died. I was annoyed like you. But Then again I thought, maybe I should try to solve and live with my problems instead of just dying. And used all the energy that I used trying to off myself in something useful, like solving problems instead of just sitting around doing nothing but complaining. I didn't solved all my issues and I don't live a perfect life, but I don't give up on life and try to help myself instead of feeling pity for myself.

Answer 2

Before you were born you were allotted a certain number of days and you will die when you are supposed to die. Even if you succeed in taking your life you will still have to wait in a holding space until the real time for your death comes around so you will not be gaining anything by taking your life. How about making things better for yourself on this side of the veil? Life is tough - no doubt about that and I've often thought wish I didn't have to do this anymore but I just take one day at a time and know that it will be all over before I know it - Now what will happen if I then find I am supposed to come down again in another body?

Answer 3

Some people are idiots and have no idea what intense suffering is so don't listen to them. This is the what to hope and pray for.

Matthew 8 (New King James Version)

Jesus Cleanses a Leper
1 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
“ He Himself took our infirmities
And bore our sicknesses.”[b]

Answer 4

Try asking Him.

Pray, talk to Him like He is your best friend. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Tell Him how you REALLY feel. Your pain, sadness, doubt. Ask for help. He does love you. If you were meant to die, you would have by now. God obviously has a special plan for your life, therefore, you need to be alive to carry it out. You might save thousands of lives, or find a cure for cancer. Who knows. Pray, and let God lead you.

Answer 5

He demonstrated His love for you by having His Son take your place on the cross for your sins. Have you ever asked Christ into your heart and asked Him to forgive you for your sins?if not then I would encourage you to search out salvation through Christ by reading the book of John in the New Testament. Once you are a Christian you have a position to serve the Lord, He tells us we are to go into all the world and share the gospel of Jesus Christ that the lost may hear the good news. You do not have the right to try and take your life as the Lord loves you and wants your help.

Answer 6

You are still trying to do it on your own. You need to abandon the way you are coping with the world and seek God in your life. Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life and have Him be your Lord and Savior. Pray earnestly to Him. Ask Jesus to guide you in the way you should go. tell Him your feelings and thoughts. Tell Him you do not want to live like this anymore. Ask Him to change your Life in a way that will remove all doubt that He exists and that You (Jesus) love me.

The Lord will answer You. Get your mind and thoughts calm and cry out to the Lord. If you seek and knock, He WILL ANSWER.

I will also pray four you.

Answer 7

Suffering is a state of mind. Instead of trying to find ways out of suffering like suicide, find those things that make you suffer and change them.

Answer 8

it isn't that He doesn't want you to suffer, it is that He doesn't want you to suffer in the next life.

Jesus didn't come to get us out of trouble, He came to get into trouble with us. He came to make sense out of the suffering. earth is where we are tested and conditioned for eternity. God's work is to make us like Him in the very end, and suffering is necessary to be broken from the bonds of sin. like a father, He knows what is best for us... and we, like children, are fully dependant upon Him wether we know it or not. God doesn't have to take your life away, He can just stop giving it.

all of your hurting is done on this side of glory, so if you're going to hurt either way, why not put purpose behind it and hurt for the cause of Jesus? He hurt for ours.

Answer 9

God wants you dead not just yet. When He wants you dead nothing can save you then. He gives life and takes life. When your time is up you don't have to try killing yourself, you will die without any effort. If then you want to live you won't be able to live.

Answer 10

Why does God make you live?
I don't think he does. It isn't that difficult to end one's life, if one REALLY wants to. I don't think it's your LIFE that you want to end, but rather, your SUFFERING. That was how I felt, too, for the longest time. I finally began asking for help to understand what was bothering me, & was shown answers that just cannot be beat!
