FINAL THOUGHTS
If you are dealing with thoughts we talked about earlier, like “I wish I were dead” or "There is no other way." If this you then I want to share some final thoughts with you. If that is not you then I want to give you some advice to share with your friends so you can be prepared if this situation arises in your world.
STEPS TO OVERCOME SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
1) Tell somebody…it is series always…not to be taken lightly
Someone to counsel who is responsible adult
2) Be with people,…don’t go solo, and isolate yourself
3) Sing – make music…it lightens our soul, In fact, Saul had David come in and lift his soul as he struggled
4) spend time praising and thanking God…why, so you can focus on the positive, the hope that you have and great things that are going on
5) Lean heavily on the promises of the word of God
6) Rest in the presence of God’s Spirit (Psalm 42:5)
