Depression
Asked God to take my life last night
The fact that you are here, with us, reaching out now is proof that you have a desire to open up about what is troubling you. Given that, I cannot recommend scheduling an appointment with a therapist enough. Our brains tells us all kinds of things we should not listen to, a therapist can help you to understand your feelings and cope with them. I think they just have immense value. For me, I was completely lost a year ago. Existing, but not living. While I am not anywhere close to where I’m trying to get to, I have come such a long way in that time, and you can too
Sean, I wish I had words that could make things better for you, but I know that Holy Spirit can minister to you far better than I ever could so just know that I’m praying for you my friend.
Sorry you’re going through this, I’ve done this many times over the years. I told God that I was just done and ready and too just take me in my sleep. But he’s not done with me and my journey is not over. Yours isn’t either obviously keep your head up. Keep your faith and roll on

Praying for you now.
Oh Sean, I’m very sorry you’re going through this. 🫂 But please know it does get better, really. I don’t know your specific circumstances, but I swear to you- nothing in this life is permanent, not even our problems and feelings. Do you have people in your life who you can share this with? A friend, pastor, counselor, group of buddies? When I was at this point a few years ago, the LAST thing I wanted to do was tell someone, but thank God I had a good counselor- with her help, a LOT of prayer, and good community I was able to see the light. To see that God really had a purpose for my life and any belief that ‘my life means nothing, this is pointless, I’m damaged beyond repair’ were literally lies from Satan that I was believing. Sometimes we need an outside voice to speak some truth to us. So let me say this. You’re worth fighting for. God made you for a reason, He cares deeply about you and there’s a way out of this darkness. 🤍 Love you, brother. And I’m earnestly praying for you today.
Sean i understand where you’re coming from brother. In the past i have felt and done the same thing. This was before i had an intimate relationship with him. Once i found him he gave me the strength to live for him and no longer myself. When i put my trust and reliance on him i am made strong. When i live for him i have purpose. He’s calling us to spread the gospel the good news. He is returning. This life is temporary but heaven is eternal. Being separated from God the Light in this dark world is forever is humbling and not worth ending my life. I must live to honor him and bring as many people as i can to him!
So did Elijah, Moses and Jonah. God’s response was no. God’s not done with you, even if your heart is broken and you’re falling apart. God has a purpose for you even if you can’t see it now surrounded by darkness. Force yourself to pray and read the Bible. It will be hard because your flesh will fight you with everything it’s got but force yourself to. You got this Sean. Don’t give up
God values you so much don’t listen to the voice of the enemy.
You are asking God the wrong thing. He can only give Life, Guidance, Creation. Pray for a new mindset Sean
