Woke up this morning and did my normal check of FB messages. I scrolled a few posts and then saw an alarming message from a FB friend. This friend seemed to be dealing with depression and suicide. It literally took my breath away. Why this person? I inboxed the friend and also sent messages, praying and hoping he didnt take their own life. I say that because he posted the message 6 hours before and I was asleep. I begin feeling guilty and wondering what could I have said to help my friend. I begin to pray and cry out to God on his behalf. Sending angels to take charge over him and keep him safe. I was wondering was I so caught up in my own world that I didnt hear the cries of my friend. It made me think about all the other friends that I have that might be dealing with things that they feel they cant handle. So many thoughts were going through my mind. I sent many messages to my friend hoping that he didnt take his own life. I even enlisted another friend to help contact him as well. To make a very long story short, he is still ALIVE. PRAISING GOD FOR THAT. I made him promise that he would never take his own life. I encourage everyone reading this to reach out to those that you love and let them know you love and care for them. Dont assume that they know it. Lend a helping hand if you know they are in a tough place. If they come on your mind, call them, spend time with them. You never know how that act of caring can help them make it through some rough places in their life. It was truly a wake up call to me. In pursuit of your place of peace and prosperity, dont forget those that are around you. Praising God that he is still here and able to LIVE a life full of purpose and meaning..... He needs much prayer... so please keep my friend lifted up....
