Is it normal that i want god to take my life?

14 Comments

I recently saw the news report about Amanda Todd, and I feel for her. I have just about reached the point that I think the best way out is suicide, but I want God to take my life naturally. As a Christian, I totally believe in heaven or hell, that if I bravely live out my life and try my best, I will be rewarded in heaven, and if I take my own life, it is murder and I will go to hell. I know as a Christian that I should pray and give my life to the Lord, which I have, but I feel all I am getting is the same ugly stuff everyday with no way out, and I just wonder if my way of thinking is right or I should just do it, but...all this metaphysical stuff is confusing...just please help me...

    I was suicidal two years ago but since then Ive experienced so many good things Id have missed. Speaking from experience no matter how horrible things seem they will get better.If youre a Christian then let it up to God do decide when to take you home.
    Its not like you will miss out on death, it will happen eventually anyway.

    Religion is the reason you feel like you do and Religion is all laid out in front of people for one simple reason which is to "CONTROL" groups of people! give it up and live your life free, healthy and enjoy it. Evolution.

    I think its normal, although im not 100% sure if there is a god, i want him to kill me, just so i can see that smug look on his face and wipe it off myself, the guys a twat, thats if he lives, but regardless if he is real, i wouldnt worship him.

    There is no god. That is why prayers are never answered and he can't take your life but you have to do it yourself.

        Is that all you've got? Another unproven made up entity got me by the neck since I don't believe in the other unproven made up entity. Fail.

    God wouldn't want you to give up on life. I'm sure he wouldn't do it.

    It's ok to not fear death. It's ok to hope for a martyr's death. If you're wishing for death, that may not be a sin, but it's a sign of depression. I'm a Christian, and I was in that state for a while, and therapy and medication helped a lot.

    Remember the parable of the talents. God has given you specific gifts, and it's your duty to use them well. The servant who got in trouble was the one who tried to return the talents rather than do something with them.

    I hope this doesn't cause you to take your own life, but once God forgives you for your sins it's done. There's no exception, "oh but if you die sinning, you go to Hell." If Jesus is your savior, then you won't go to Hell no matter what. This shouldn't be a reason to commit suicide though. It's an extremely selfish thing to do. Even if you think nobody would care, it's not true. You have family who cares you, and hopefully friends too. And God has a plan for you too. You're going through whatever you're going through for a reason, but it will get better.

    Christians are supposed to be the happiest people on earth because they know God. They know that God is with them.

    "Ask and you shall receive."

    Where is your faith?
