It is very sad when someone feels compelled to commit suicide, the ultimate act of desperation. It is very wrong to end your own life. Instead of protecting the life you received from God, you end it and commit a serious sin. However, only God knows the deepest reasons that caused someone to commit this act. In almost all cases, the person cannot be held fully accountable.
God loves this person too, despite his or her terrible act of desperation. Above all, we can trust in God’s love and mercy, and ask him in prayer to reserve a place in heaven for this person. At the same time, this shows how important it is to support people who have suicidal thoughts, to help them realise the value of life, which we should protect under all circumstances.
If you are struggling with this issue or know someone who is, get help through a lifeline.
