One of the ten commandments is “Thou shalt not murder”. Suicide is murder of yourself.  No one is to stop their own life. God decides when we are going to be born, he is the giver of life and he numbers our days. God want us to live and have joy in him. However, there are times when a person becomes incredibly overwhelmed by despair. We live in a world that is full of sin and death which causes great pain.
