what keeps me alive is the bible knowledge i have in the bible it says life was given to us by god and therfore is like stomping on god when we want to take our lives i find alot of comfort in prayer i ask for his mercy and love i always ask before i go to bed for him to send me his angels to make a sheild on me against all harm the thought of angels surrounding me brings such comfort i can't explain recently a sister from our congregation took her life she shot herself i could not understand why she did it i was upset at her actions i was saying someone who knows god and what he offers did that it was mind boggling but then i was reminded that god loves each and everyone of us dispite our action i can not judge her she was ill and had no support i look back and say if only i knew what was happening i could have offered her my hand in friendship and helped her through her pain sadly she left behind 3 children to deal with the pain i ask any one who is suicidal to pray and hold on to god with all your might remem ber also that at pc we have eachother backs and best interest in heart .
