Title: God’s Promises for Overcoming Thoughts of Suicide
Introduction:
Suicide is a sensitive topic that we need to address. It is a painful experience that affects not only the person who lost their life but also those left behind. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, know that there is hope. In this lesson, we will look at some promises from God that can help overcome thoughts of suicide.
Promise 1: You are valued by God (Psalm 139:13-16)
The first promise is that you are valued by God. You are not a mistake. God created you with a purpose and plan. He knows everything about you, and you are precious in His sight. When you feel like no one cares, remember that God loves you and has a purpose for your life.
Promise 2: God is with you in your pain (Isaiah 41:10)
The second promise is that God is with you in your pain. He understands your struggles and is there to provide comfort and strength. He promises to never leave you or forsake you. When you feel like you are alone, cry out to God, and He will give you peace and strength.
Promise 3: You can find hope in God (Romans 15:13)
The third promise is that you can find hope in God. Suicide may seem like the only way out, but it isn’t. God has a plan for your life, and it is a plan for hope and a future. When you feel like there is no hope, remember that God can do the impossible.
Promise 4: You are not alone (Hebrews 13:5-6)
The fourth promise is that you are not alone. God is always with you, and He also provides people in your life who can support and encourage you. Don’t be afraid to reach out to someone for help. You don’t have to face this alone.
