Finding Solution to Suicide
Dear editor,
There have been some high profile suicides recently and they are sad, not because they were celebrities and beloved but because they chose to end their lives in a manner that hurts more than just themselves, while setting a wrong example.
Suicide is not the answer to anyone's problems even though it appears to be a good solution or the only way out. It is not. All it does is end your life and your potential for being a great person.
When one feels that they have no place to go, or no person to turn, one needs to avoid drugs, alcohol, psychiatrists and their prescribed medications for their ``solutions'' only mask the problems hounding a person and lets them fester until one is deceived into thinking they have no solution.
But there is one way out and it can be found with Jesus. Though many will mock and complain He is mentioned here, He is the only person who can solve your problems so that they do not bring you to despair and to the point of ending it all.
He is the only one who will personally be with you through every turn so that you will not be alone and not be afraid. He gives two promises ``I will never leave you nor forsake you'' and ``Come unto me all ye who are heavily ladened and I will give you rest.''
All you have to do is take Him up on it. Find a true Christian to help you discover this solution for suicide or copycat actions will not help you and it hurts those who love you even though you do not realize it.
Don't let your problems defeat you, find the right church, get the answers you need so you can live life like you should.
