ok, i've been extremely worried about my friend lately... he's been going through some extremely low points in his life and he doesn't have much in the way of friends or support. he believes in God, but he won't be open to his help and love. the past two nights he's im'd me and been severely depressed. both nights i've been afraid he's going to kill himself. i'm just really really scared right now and i don't know how to help him. He hates it when i bring up God, but it seems like that's all I can do. Please pray for him to open up to God and be vulnerable to his love. He needs the love of Jesus more than anyone else that I know right now. Also, pray for God to speak through me when i talk to him. I need his wisdom and strength to get through this. Thanks guys. I really appreciate it

There is a band called "Seventh Day Slumber" and the lead vocalist/guitarist was a drug addict that wanted to commit suicide for most of his life. His testimony and some of their songs would be nice to send to him, along with prayer for him. I will definitely pray for your friend.

Try sending him these links:

Good luck and may God be with you.

thank you sooo much!!!

he's been feeling better the past few days, but he's got his ups and downs. thank you for the links too. i've heard of 7th Day Slumber... i'll definately have to check out those links and send them to him! i bet it'll help him out even if he denies it (he's just strange like that)

once again, thank you!!!

You're welcome...and remember, I'm always there to help you. It may take you awhile to get ahold of me, but I'm always thinking of you girls and your requests. God bless!

thank you uber-ly lots!!! lol

he's been doing a lot better... he's not feeling as suicidal lately although he still struggles with a lot of stuff. he's been dealing with a lot of purity issues that i've been trying to help him with. that 7th day slumber story is really really cool!!!

If he has problems with purity, tell him to check out this website:

You get assigned an accountability partner who reads your answers to "quizzes" you take each day and they have good devotions about purity and stuff too.

Also, tell him to check out this site too:
http://www.xxxchurch.com
They have some great resources.

Also, if it's an internet problem, tell him to try this filter:

It's awesome and he could get a random person to set up the password. Basically, it kicks you off the internet anytime you get to a site with nudity, violence, etc.

Good luck to you and your friend!

he's doing a lot better guys! thanks for the prayers!!! he's got some self confidence now =)

Coolio! I hope he continues to feel better about himself. I'll keep praying.

Seveth Day Slumber oh I love them! Joseph Rojas (i think thats his name) he created RevGen which is just a really awesome thing I showed it to you once khakigirl. I hope to go there *prayerfully* once I graduate from highschool.
