Wondering about God and Suicide

Question:



Well I've read the Bible a little bit and it's not as bad as I once thought. I've realized that even though I want to die, God isn't going to let me until He thinks it's time so I've decided to start doing my homework again. My goal is to bring all of my grades up. I'm not happy yet, but I'm hoping to get there soon. Please share some of your thoughts with me.



Answer:



I know that this life can be frustrating and that it doesn’t turn out in ways that we wish it would. But I do want to tell you this, you will not find your happiness based on what you do, no matter how hard you try or how successful you are in reaching those goals. You will find your fulfillment based on who you are in Christ and what He has done for you. The answer is not out there, the answer is right there with you. The answer is Jesus, and you belong to Him when you called out and entrusted Him with your life. The way that you are lead by Him is by allowing yourself to quiet down, and push everything that fills your mind to the side, and you realize that He has your life in His hands and that He will take care of you. When you allow Him to place you in that mindset, then you are ready to be led by Him and find your fulfillment in Him. Following Jesus isn’t always easy, and at times it can be uncomfortable, but it’s the best thing you could ever do with your life. Because you are following a cause, Jesus, that is greater than you are. Truth be told, He is the greatest cause you could ever follow with your life. Please consider what I have told you and consider where you are and what Christ offers to you. He offers true life, the life you were meant to live.
