You cannot test God. You don't say things like, "if you don't help me...." That's testing God. It's not by God that you struggle. Bad choices, bad decisions is of our own doing.
We have to learn our way out of bad decision/choices and sinful habits. And its a difficult thing to go through......when you're at your lowest point in life and seems you just can't take it no more. The negatives always outweight the positives in all that you do. It feel like you're born to suffer or meant to suffer.
How do we, then, live day to day, hour to hour, minute by minute? That's the challenge of Faith, Prayers and Believing. It is no easy task like the preachers make it out to be.
Struggle and hardships is as constant as racism in America. It will never change since Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. So instead of crying out to God over things you "can" control, get to know the Bible in order to know God enough to know how you should live.
It's easy to be in-tune with God when we need Him but are quick to go astray once we get what we want. Therein lies our problem. We fall down again and keep crying to God instead of leaning to strengthen ourselves so we don't fall down so easy.
The best way to get to know God is by the quality of our punishment. For the lesson is always two-fold: it reveals your flaw/sin and, what God expect of us to be in His grace. So, bless is the man chastised by God for he shall know the way he must go.
Bless is the man that endures long suffering for his humbleness should keep him grounded and close to God. And blessed is the chastised and humbled man for God shall hear his prayers and strengthens his faith.
I know what its like to be on that edge and fall,it had to be 60 feet.man I was scared,mad and alittle relived at the same time.as I looked around me I noticed no one was around and that made the next step easy I keeped thinking that god wasnt here for me,i keeped thinking why doesnt he stop me .i could feel the air move around my ears but couldnt hear anything,and then out of the corner of my eye I saw a little bird flying my way and mean this thing is moving the closer it got the faster I feel I started to screm and thats when it all stopped.
in response to death has come...I can identify with despare,and this journey is certainly sometimes hurtful, Romans 7 deals with the struggles we have with self, Romans 8 gives us an explanation of how to deal with self. Applying the truth of scripture is the challenge but with Holy Spirits help we can. I too am discouraged with self but im holding on, you do the same my frienf
in response to death has come...If you are tempted with suicide. It will be a mixture of the addiction, and also a spirit of suicide.
When you are tempted. Immediately get medical attention if you choose or CALL ON THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAME'S. THAT IS JESUS. Cry out to him to help you. If you have a heart of sincerity unto Jesus he will never allow the temptation of suicide to over power you.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CALL UNTO JESUS when you feel this way. (EVERY TIME UNTIL YOU HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH IN YOUR LIFE) Jesus will help you.
Offer yourself unto him whole heartily if he will deliver you from the addiction, set you free from the withdraw, symptoms, desire for drug, and to set you free from the spirit of suicide.
Seek Jesus, and use a concordance to find scripture against the spirit realm of darkness. For Ephesian's 6 clearly says that we are not in a physical war, but spiritual.
Read aloud the word of God on peace, fear, and it will assist you in the victory my friend.
Jesus will NEVER leave you. NOR forsake you. HE is with you ALWAYS.
Seek him when you need HIM, and HE will be there WITH you to help you.
God delivered me of drug's, and suicide. He can deliver you, and give you hope to live.

God has perfect timing, keep your Faith pray for strength, wisdom, comfort, peace, and Joy He will provide your needs, He knows your needs before you ask!
MATTHEW 6:7-8 (KJV); 7 BUT when ye pray, use not vain repititions, as the heathen do; for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them; for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.
I wanted to Post several verses that will help you, some are in my (3) Posts/Writings if you need more let me know. I am Praying for you now as I am writing to you, I know where you are as I have been there...
Claim His Blessings/that your needs will be provided!
Please Lord I need financial help today. You have helped me some in the past but I desperately need 500 dollars today. Please Lord, Please, Even my check for my tithes will probably bounce.
I send you my prayers. If I had anything to give I would in a heartbeat. This is many months since your post so I hope you are ok. I have medical debts in a collection agency that has garnished my checking account twice now in less then two months instead of my wages (in Boise, Idaho) So now my rent payments and life insurance is not going to go through. I only make $9.00 an hour, paycheck to paycheck as I am going back to school to be able to have a better paying job. So not only can they take your ckecking account funds, they leave you in standing of bad checks bouncing and the chance of legal issues with insufficiant funds and leave you with no money to eat. What a fiscious circle. I have no credit cards at all, but if I was in credit card debt I could receive help. I believe in miracles...this is just a really hard thing to go through and I cannot stop crying. Any suggestions would be great and good faith prayers as well!
I was hoping somebody or something on this site could help me. I have gotten myself into quite a jam, I have been unable to work for 3 weeks due to injury, I owe $915 in rent by the end of the month, I owe $500 in car payments for the last 2 months(which I totalled and have no insurance). Along with various other sink-holes I've found myself in. I am in deep water. I'm about to lose everything I care about, I know I shouldn't depend on other people to get me out of things, but I am struggling and trying so hard not to go under, however I am losing the battle quickly. I am open to any ideas as to how to come up with $3000 to $6000(or at least $1000 to keep me in my house for 1 more month), if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Please know that we will be in prayer for you as you go through this trial.
What I recommend is three things:
1) Remember that God loves you and that God is NOT a liar. God says that nothing will come into your life that you cannot handle. I know that you may think you cannot handle it, but you can with God at your side. I know this to be true because I have been through what you are going through and because I know that God keeps his promises and is not a liar.
Live has thrown you a lemon. Now let God make lemonade from it.
You need to turn to God who will never forsake you or leave you. We are never truly alone.
I was divorced some 25 years ago. I stopped dating about 17 years ago because I saw dating as a waste of time unless I met someone who had at least a remote potential for a relationship. This was long before I became Catholic and then took vows as a celibate brother. I know the loneliness that you are feeling.
Although it is a tired cliche it is absolutely true that time heals. It took me about 5 years to get over the demise of my marriage. Those were a hard five years, but I got through them and you can too.
2) Recognize that your situation involves psychological factor. Since you are depressed with suicidal thoughts it is imperative that you seek professional counseling. The local Catholic Charities should be available to you with fees on a sliding scale. A local Mental Health Center may also be available that also uses a sliding scale to figure fees.
In the meantime, or in an emergency, if things really get bad, especially with temptations to suicide, then you need to call a Crisis Line. Check your local phonebook for numbers to Crisis Hot Lines, or you can check this website for various national Crisis Lines your can call: Crisis Lines Listings
3) Recognize that your situation involves a spiritual factor. Your heart has been broken. When that happens is also effects your spirit. You need to recognize that and seek to minister to your spirit as well as to your psychological self.
Spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Pray. Develop devotions such as to St. Dymphna, the patron saint for people who are experiencing emotional stress and the like.
I would also recommend that you buy the book, God's Psychiatry by Charles Allen. The two chapters I recommend especially is the meditation on Psalm 23 and the other on the Beatitudes.
I have found that many people in trauma and crisis have been comforted and healed through daily meditation using this book. Mediate on Psalm 23 and the Beatitude every single day.
In addition to this, pray daily for God to cast away from you any spirit of depression and spirit of suicide that may be around you. This is a preventative and proactive measure just to be sure those nasties do not try to take advantage of you while you are down.
You can make it through this valley, Hyde. God has not abandoned you. He is with you right now and so is your Guardian Angel. Take comfort in that and trust in God to guide you through this dark valley. You will reach the mountaintop again.
I need help, GOD please help me!!! I am weary and in need. I'm about to give up. My burdens are too heavy for me to bare. If you don't help me soon, I will fade away. So please GOD, I have been pleading with you for a long time now. I know that you are not hard of hearing. Please send my gaurdian angel to help me, for I am at an empasse in my life. This is a matter of success or failure, a matter of life and death of one of your servants, another waisted life. I know that you love me because you said so. I need you to show and reveal your love to me, right now, please Jesus. Help me, physically, mentally, financially, in everyway. I need the every minute every hour of each day. This is my last cry for help, if you won't answer me now, I know that you never will. So please, please...
