NEW LIFE

One of the most shocking discoveries I've made in the last few months is the number of Christians who have considered, or are considering, suicide. They lie awake nights thinking, "I hate myself...there's no hope...why go on?"

If you are considering ending your life, I beg you to reconsider starting life anew instead... within you.

"(Now) we have this (hope) as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul – it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it – (a hope) that reaches farther and enters into (the very certainty of the Presence) within the veil. Where Jesus has entered in for us (in advance), a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek" (Hebrews 6:19-20, AMP).

You may have no more faith; you may even feel there is no longer any hope left, but at a moment when the only answer appears to be to end it all...God can supernaturally place a tiny light at the end of that very dark, fearful corridor you are in and touch your spirit with a new light and revelation of Himself that will turn that dark hopelessness within you into a growing light of his truth, love, healing, strength and restoration of your own self-worth.

Will you trust Him for this tonight?

Heavenly Father, I surrender all my failings, discouragements, fear and negative thoughts to You. I have only proven that in my own strength I cannot go on. I ask You to cleanse me, forgive me, and touch my spirit with a new hope. I release myself to You right now – every area of my life – and ask You to turn my life around, step by step. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
