If God exists, why won't he stop me from killing myself?


Question:
I'm a recovering alcoholic suffering from hopeless depression that I'm certain will only lead me back to a drink. Faith in god is the only thing that has kept me sober for the short time that I have been, but I have yet to experience even a minute of happiness.

I've decided that I want to end this pain forever, as I have no hope for a happy future. I have prayed and pettioned god to put just one single human being in my life, if for no other reason than to just sit next to me for a little while, but god has not seen me worthy enough to do this for.

I am going to wait until saturday, which will be the one year annivesary of the day my ex-girlfriend left, which is also her sober anniversary.

IF god loves me do you think he will put another person in my life between now and saturday so that I don't have to hang myself?

I'm 45, bankrupt, cannot afford any type of medical care whatsoever, and I am placing this circumstance in the hands of god.

Why does god want me so lonely

Other Answers:
freewill, he will not interfere.
he wont stop u as u dont know him . wt do u think ?
He gives us free will. Suicide is way over rated, don't do it.
I am also God's lonely man. But you shouldn't kill yourself. Think about how many more people are suffering than you. Just register at some dating agencies. Do volunteer work. You will meet other people.
If your feelings are legitimate and this serious, I'd strongly suggest you go and seek out a priest or minister to give you some support and comfort. It's also probably a good idea to think about checking yourself into a mental health center or calling a suicide crisis hotline.
Some of God greatest gifts are unaswered prayers

You have a really sad story. I don't think you should blame God for that. I have a kinda same problem that I blame God about. My parents always fight and I have sleeping problems.
God doesn't want you lonely. God was also merciful enough to allow us to have free will, giving us the chance to choose as we please.
He doesn't exist. You must take care of yourself the best you can. Good luck. In the meantime, why don't you read the book "A million little pieces" by James Frey. Then you won't feel so lonely.
God gives man many test during life
Be Strong....
god don't stop you your Faith in god shud
well......why don't you surrender yourself to God and become a monk? No sex, no outside interferences and no need for money....I have interfered...this is your answer....
God gives us choice. It's a gift. Dont play games with God. He loves all people, but let's us all make decisions. God's not going to come to your rescue every time you "test" his being there or loving you. Dont come on yahoo to threaten others with killing yourself. I might report this one....
god loves you. do you forgive him?
I think the general consensus is that God loves you enough to give you free will and an ability to make your own decisions.

I am not a relgious man, and am just repeating what I have heard as an argument.
Well,it is a matter of love and respect of your personal freedom.God is not a binding power,but a gift of life,love and freedom.Nothing is worth taking your life.We can overcome any obstacle imaginable.We just have to believe that we can and try very hard.There is no way that in the end we will smile again.
It is called free will. He didn't make puppets.
There are people all around you. I'm here.
It is when our life is off track that we seek Him. It seems we have to get to the gutter so he can scoop us out and save us.
Call out to the Lord; He is all you need.
help yourself, dont try to make up someone else to do the hard yards, your brain is extremely addicted to felling bad, you need to turn that addiction into a positive, it will take time but it could be fun, remember that your bad can lead to teaching to others, help us evolve by doing wrong so others wont have to, what do you think the whole god story is about anyway, are you dellusional as well.
god wants u in this condition because he is trying to explain you the importance of things which u have lost due to ur alcoholism.

He will not prevent you from killing yourself b'coz u r just a medium for act....he is making u kill yourself if at all u r killing your self....otherwise may wot happen u will be saved....

Forget all these depression thoughts of yours...life is too short for alcoholism and depression...go ahead make a new start and come up....failures are stepping stones of success.
Hi! Forget it .. God is a character in a fictional story book called The Bible.
I take it you are American - why don't you get yourself to the UK get free Medicare and start a new life .. Good Luck
well you ain't dead yet. Besides you sound quite selfish in your expectations of what God should do for you.
There are people in the world in far worst straits than you through no fault of their own and they can love and appreciate God. Stop blaming God and get treatment after all God can help you but you must be prepared to help yourself also and the bible gives sound reassurances that God is with those who call on him in sincerity. You just type a load of, uhhhuhhh God why me? instead of saying why am I doing this to myself?
You are not so special on this Earth that only you can't recover and make a new good life for yourself, stop blubbering and take action and do something positive and upbuilding that will pull you out of the hole and back on your 2 feet and make a life for yourself.
So you have no money - money is not a reason for living. Heck I been penniless and so has many people been bankrupt, get yourself together and get a girlfriend. God is not your personal matchmaker and you need to grow up a bit.
See some counselling and take advice given if you wish to ignore help then maybe you just don't want to know what God tells you also.
cause we have our own will. of course he does but it doesn't mean that he would put another person in your life. maybe you're not just looking around you. you can always ask for help, there are many charitable institutions that help people like you. have faith. don't forget to pray. god bless!
god doesnt want to kill anyone and he sees you as having a purpose later on in life and believes you are a good person. i'm sure you dont see it but i bet if you really think of the pros and cons you have a lot going for you and your not hurting yourself by commiting suicide your hurting your friends and family, stop to think of how they would feel and how they would miss you if you were gone
cause He gave ppl free choice in their decisions
The fact that you are writing to youqa.coms says you are just looking for attention. Any one who is serious about killing themselves RARELY reach out for intervention! They just DO it! You have chosen God as your scapegoat. WHY does he have to do all the work. You need to get over yourself. So you lost a girlfriend, it happens! You could get involved with AA and help others. You could get involved with your church. You are just so hung up on YOU right now, your focus is WAY off!
you should be proud that you quit drinking, that is a feat. i know how hard that is, i have friends who have been in and out of treatment SO many times it's frieghtening. You being 45 you know how much a year can make a difference! If you go to meetings you will make friends there that are going through the same things. You will meet someone new. please know there is hope for happiness. It can be as simple as meeting one person.
you have freewill.

God doesn't make people lonely, people make people lonely.

Suicide is not a smart choice.
God does not want you lonely... you know why you are lonely?? you are lonely because you don't have God... God takes away everything we have so that we will take God as our everything...
there is one saying.. the end of man is the beginning of God... so cheer up...this is the best time to know God... believe me this is my experience... I will pray for you...pray more and seek Jesus... of course you need to seek the true God..
our Lord Jesus Christ.. OH LORD JESUS OH LORD JESUS.. try to say OH LORD JESUS OH LORD JESUS for hundreds of times from deep within inhaling deeply and calling upon exhaling... Oh Lord Jesus Oh Lord Jesus.. LORD JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSS....
grow up, get your head out of your a s s and your life back on track....You think suicide is an answer to anything, that's just a cop out, a way to place guilt on loved ones forever....and selfish! Commit yourself to a psych ward at the local hospital, get the help you need, instead of putting people that care about you through hell. You don't need money, you just need to accept resposibility for yourself and stop trying to hurt those who love you
