They are temporary, and help is available. Your life is too important to God and to others for you to commit suicide. If you think someone is suicidal, don't watch and wait.

The situation you encounter may well be one of life and death, and your response is critical. In all our actions, regardless of the circumstances, we are to affirm life because we have the assurance of God's presence and love.

We lack the wisdom to make decisions without Him. Dallas Theological Seminary, All Rights Reserved Copying or use of text or images located on this web site without express permission is prohibited.
