Life circumstances, hopelessness and extreme depression can lead people to look for ways to check out of this life. God forbids murder – suicide is self-murder. Jesus offers hope, help and forgiveness and can empower you/them to keep living. In Acts 16 the Philippian jailer thought the prisoners he was responsible for had escaped and out of fear was about to fall on his sword until someone convinced him to stop because it was going to be OK. Many people, even pastors, are cutting their lives short and leaving a trail of pain and loss for all those who cared about them. Listen and be encouraged and equipped through God’s Word plus hear amazing testimonies of those who kept living.
