  • Cousin committed suicide

    Last night my cousin hung herself. She had been battling major depressive disorder for over 15 years. Please say a prayer for her family and the children she left behind

          Oh dear Hamster. Having just been through similar (my sister-in-law) I knew how devastating it all is.

          We will be praying for you and all the family.

                        "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                          Prayers for your cousin and all those who commit suicide. It used to be assumed that this was an unforgivable sin, but it is the result of disease, a sickness, an overwhelming depression that warps one's view of reality. I pray for all those who cannot feel the hope that comes from God and his Christ. There is forginess for all.
                          βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον·
                          ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.

                          אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
