Some thought should be given to the fate of those who commit suicide. The majority of those who take their own lives are so terrorized at the time that they are not entirely responsible for the act. Such people fare on the other side like anyone else. Conscious and intentional self-destruction is a refusal to meet the problems of life, and obviously it cannot be possible to do that successfully. These persons are apt to find themselves in a confused mental state. Of course, they can be greatly helped by prayer, as can all others., Ultimately they have to face all over again precisely the kind of problem from which they have run away.
Like as a Father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. (Psalm 103:13-14).
…the goodness of God endureth. (Psalm 51:1).
Life can seem so unbearable for some that death appears preferable. Or, for some who are facing a terminal illness filled with pain for them and those they love, death can seem a logical and selfless option. Regardless of the reason, suicide most often results from the loss of hope.
For anyone who has lost a friend or loved one in this way, it is always painful and usually fills those left behind with dread and fear for the eternal welfare of their loved one or friend. But we should all remember that this is not the end, and that God loved this soul just as God loves each of us. And we should keep in mind that no human act can overcome the love of God. That is our hope.
Finally, we should all continue to pray for, and send our love the departed one so that their after life might will be filled with hope. We should pray that their conflict be resolved and that they come to know the hope, peace and comfort that is always available through God’s love and is assured by following God’s will. That is their hope.
In prayer and hope for them,
