I THINK AM DONE! THE BEST IS TO END MY LIFE

I was compelled to put this up going by the increasing number of suicide in our society. To everything there is surely an end. Life is hard, full of suffering and pain. We live in a world of great anxiety, disappointment, Failure, Terrorism, unemployment, divorce, economic problem, Confusion, gang-up against one destiny and despair. Life is indeed unfair! We live in a world where most of our dreams do not come to pass and even the few that came to pass were through hardship and in the midst of turbulence. To make it worst, Human being has been a major contributor of this shenanigans by being inhumane to man. Robbers coming to a house stealing the belongings, killing one of the parents thereby leaving the family in despair and even going to an extreme of raping one of the daughters, causing emotional trauma for the victim. Teachers failing students so as to force them to sleep with them, siphoning them or just as a deliberate act of wickedness. The disappointment here and there, from loved ones, parents, spouses friends and acquaintances. Delay in marriage as a result of the difficulty in early establishment. I am 37 years old. Yes! I can't even feed myself not to talk about getting married. Oh I am established but I cannot just deal with the problem of getting the right person for me. I am doing well and I have gotten the right person but I don't even know how to lure my parents to accept my choice because this my partner is against the religious and social-cultural background of my parents. It seems Failure is my second name because each time I make an attempt my efforts abortive. This life is just too difficult! Is that the reason I cried immediately I was born? Nobody seems to be free from needs. Nobody seems to be free from the wahala of life. What should I do to be free from this palava? I THINK AM DONE! THE BEST FOR ME IS TO END MY LIFE. Suicide! The act of intentionally causing one's death (Google) It's quite painful when life seems to be the opposite of what we desire, it is painful when the perceived love of our life disappoints us, it is painful when the sickness seems to be incurable, it is painful when the time of my manifestation seems to be too long. Despite all these should I still attempt to kill myself? NO! In the midst of the most difficult situations comes the best of life. The training of a giant always comes tears and much pain and before the corn can pop the frying pan must be heated up. “for every trial there is always a crown waiting for whoever that succeed”. It does not matter how many times you fell but matters most is your ability to pick up something. Every successful person on earth was once a product of failure, disappointment, hardship, pain and suffering. SUICIDE is never an option stop to thinking about it! Many who wrestle with suicidal thoughts and tendencies often feel all alone in their struggle. But the truth is, it’s more common than we may even be aware of. And it’s not a new problem. It’s been an issue for many years, even from in biblical times. Different Accounts in the Bible of Those Who Took Their Own Lives: King Saul – Because of defeat by the enemy and great fear after being wounded, Saul chose to end his life Armor-bearer to Saul – Out of hopelessness and terror after seeing that Saul was dead, this assistant to the king impulsively took his life as well. Samson – In his great drive for revenge, Samson was willing to die when he killed the Philistines in the crowded temple that day. Braced between two pillars, he used his final strength to push them down, and take his own life along with his enemies. Abimelech – This king over Israel was ruthless and cruel. His evil knew no limits, and after killing many people, and even taking the lives of 69 of his 70 half-brothers, God allowed one woman to stop him. After she dropped a millstone on his head, he was so injured that his pride led him to take his own life. Ahithophel – As a one-time close companion of David, and grandfather of Bathsheba, Ahithophel eventually took up the cause of Absalom’s rise against him. But when he noticed that his advice had not been taken to lead to final defeat over David’s army, out of possible fear, rejection, or complete hopelessness, he chose to go home, “put his house in order, and then hanged himself.” Zimri – As an evil king of Israel and facing utter defeat, Zimri saw no way out, except to take his own life. He set the palace on fire and died in it. Judas – In great despair and guilt after betraying Christ, the burden Judas carried led him to choose suicide. Always recognize that we have a real enemy whose mission is to steal, kill, and destroy. But the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and to saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. Be sure only God plans for your life shall stand “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. ”He is always ready to help you through “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” Choose not to be fearful. Don’t be afraid to reach out and help someone who is struggling, or to reach out for help if you find yourself struggling. God won’t ever let you go. And He’s given you others in life to help shoulder this burden. There’s support and counsel available through many who understand or have walked this road before. There is power in God’s Word, and in praying it back to Him. He reminds us that it won’t return empty, without accomplishing great things. Even in the deepest struggles, He is able to bring us throug by His healing and strength. PRACTICAL STEPS TO EASE OR AVOID SUICIDE ATTEMPT. 1.
