How God saved me from suicide

God Yahweh saved me not only once from suicide but I want to specifically mention the miracle I’ve encountered near the end of last year.

I lost my job in May 2019 due to malicious gossip and an ex-colleague that tried to ruin my reputation and working relationships out of envy and jealousy. I treated her nicely but she still won’t let me off the hook. People believed in her because she disguised her ill intentions very well and made it seem like she just saw me in a negative light. But her true intention was to sow mistrust against me and force me to quit. She spread her negative view about me everywhere and made other colleagues form misconceptions about me. My working relationships were jeopardise even though I did nothing wrong. My character was called into question even by the boss because the gossip spread to him eventually. I was filled with fear and dread every day. Even though I was later found to be innocent I had to quit because this woman was hellbent on portraying me as a bad person to everyone around me. I was afraid she might set me up if I continued to stay.

I fell into depression months later after my resignation. One day I just couldn’t take it. I walked out of my house and then got myself into a hotel so I could take sleeping pills and end my life. I wept for two nights and told God I’m sorry I just don’t see any point in living anymore.

But when I went out to buy sleeping pills from a pharmacy I was told they don’t sell sleeping pills. It was odd, as though they just didn’t want to sell it to me. But I never even told them I was planning to commit suicide. Meanwhile my mom was trying to find me. My phone was off and I was out of contact. There were many hotels and I was so confident that she will not find me before I have ended my life. But she did, and she found me not long after I failed to get any sleeping pills. Miraculously she found the exact hotel I was in. My plan to commit suicide didn’t materialise.

I felt in my gut that it was God who intervened to save me. If not, how could my mom find me so quickly and why did a pharmacy claim not to have sleeping pills? If God did not intervene this way I would have been dead last year.

I’m sharing this to show you people how merciful God has been to me. He does listen to the broken-hearted, especially those who are actively seeking Him for deliverance. So many people commit suicide each day and if only they would have cried out to Him.
 
Hi Enxu,

Awwwww .... poor you. Thank you bro for sharing so graphically and candidly, I really, really feel for you. For future, please please don't allow a situation to get on top of you like that.

Long time ago, my son was a baby and I was going through a rough patch. I was working for a firm of chartered accountants and the police accused me of fraud. I was arrested but never charged. I lost my job but found another only for the police to speak to my new employer to give them the heads up that I was dodgy and likely to do time so of course I got sacked. Therefore I had to go self employed but fell behind on the mortgage and racked up a load of debt. In the end I was never charged and the case was dropped. My business grew and later after a few years I got quite a tasty job. God pulled me through a very difficult period.

I remember during those dark days wishing I could die. If there was a plane crash, I wished I had been on it, it was a difficult time. However wishing you were dead is far removed from actually actively taking steps to bring about your death, so I'm guessing you must have felt like I did, but times ten! Awww poor you brother.

Might I suggest you meditate and think about and reflect upon how you dealt with that situation. What lessons can you draw from it? Where was God in it? Why did that situation come between you and God and almost crush you? I'm not saying beat yourself up over it (it's in the past) what I am saying is having admitted you dealt with the situation so badly, where and why did you go so wrong? By us learning from our mistakes we are strengthened so we can overcome much more severe tests.

I read Psalm 23 and it so sums up these dark situations we all go through. Please keep praying, praising God especially when all around you is collapsing. Acts 16:16-25.

I'll pray for you bro that God will give you blessings upon blessings and that the Holy Spirit will just not allow you to ignore and silence Him like that ever again.

Love you bro, take strength in God, His word and the support of your brothers and sisters.

I am a sister. :) Yes we’ve both felt the pain of slander and false accusation, and the beautiful thing about that is we are suffering in the same way Jesus suffered. To know exactly how Jesus felt when He was being slandered and falsely accused is a privilege.

I came to that point of wanting to end my own life because of what happened before the malicious gossip. The first boss I worked for also treated me badly, even after I’ve contributed to the company. I was sorely underpaid and overworked and she started slandering me of poor performance after I asked for higher pay. I didn’t make any mistake in my work but she falsely accused me of causing financial losses to the company. I was forced to resign even though I was performing well. Then right after that my father got into a nasty situation with his investor who also started to cause trouble for him with slander. My father was the CEO so was actually in danger of being prosecuted, and I was trying to help him out of it. If anything happened, my entire family could suffer huge financial losses way beyond what we could pay.

It was 3 hard hitting events over a period of ard 3 years that got me to that desperate point. I was initially very bitter towards God but He eventually gave me a revelation that as much as my pain was, His own Son Jesus suffered even greater injustice in this world. That switched things around for me because I knew that I was not alone in terms of being ill-treated. It suddenly dawned on me that God was trying to remove idols in my life. I was chasing after my own selfish ambitions and my career was something I worshipped above God. That was why I had to lose it all, just like Job lost everything he held dear.

Now I live with no heavy burdens like I once did. It is ok now if I have no career, no achievement in life, but previously I valued these things more than my relationship with God and was depressed about my failures. I used to doubt God’s justice but now I know that God is absolutely just.
