For my friend

Two nights ago, a really close friend of mine attempted to commit suicide, I don't know what stopped her, but i saw the scars earlier today at church, and they we're seriously pretty bad. my youth pastor suggested she be admitted to a hospital to get help, because it surfaced that she had been cutting for a while, and no one knew, not even her best friend.

Just pray that she listens to that advice, because our small group couldn't handle another loss like that. (last year one of her friends hung himself, most of my friends knew him.) and truthfully, I don't know how I would handle such a loss.

Thanks.

I hope your pastor is doing more that simply suggesting help for this person. This is one of those times that direct interference is considered a good practice. If someone has to drag her to counselling, then do it. You can appologize later. Praying.

Having been in this situation, I agree. I'm also praying.

I'm definetly praying for him or her. Please whenever you get the chance show her she is not alone, that you are there for her, and most importantly that GOD is there for her. I'll pray, MAY GOD KEEP YOU AND HER SAFE FROM THE TEMPTATIONS AND CRAZY THOUGHTS THAT ENTER OUR MINDS FROM TIME TO TIME.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!
