Attempted suicide... hopefully

Postby Syreth » Mon Apr 28, 2008 12:06 am

Please pray for my friend, her family and her father. Her dad has always struggled with depression, anxiety, paranoia and anger... and lately he has been convinced that he has fibromayalgia, which is basically body pain that cannot be attributed to any apparent medical cause, unless I'm mistaken. Some people don't believe that it exists, and I'm not sure about how real his claims to physical suffering have been... but it's obvious that he's been suffering. He recently tried to apply for social security, but was rejected. Upon this rejection, he tried to kill himself by taking almost a whole bottle of his medication. He's now in the hospital and unconscious, and they're not sure if he will make it. His family is suffering incredibly because of this. Please pray that he will survive somehow, and that he would recover from the spiritual and emotional rut that he has been in. Especially pray for his family. Thank you.

Will pray for him and his family. That's a tough situation. But I know God can do anything, so I will pray.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

I'm praying for them - most definitely. May they all be witnesses to the light which shines even in dark times such as these.

"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
- John 8:12
"Lives are power." - Kamille Bidan
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" - Christ the Lord (John 11:25-26)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.

Remember - the Lord will be with you - always. :)

Will be praying
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Thank you all for your prayers--I'm sure they will help. The last news I received was that he is still alive, now conscious and waiting to be transferred to the ICU. Things are still up in the air.

Thanks everyone. Last I heard, he has stabilized and is recovering. The issue that the family is facing now is what to do when he recovers.
