Streams of Comfort

The topic for the month of February is suicide. This is a very sensitive and heart-wrenching topic that most of us have been affected by in some way. Either personally, or through the stories of those around us. I was inspired by the testimony of a mother who had lost a child in this devastating way, and found strength and comfort in God to keep pushing through the dark space she found herself in. After prayerful consideration, we agreed that this would be a good topic to write on. Our hope is to provide some additional comfort to those who have been affected by suicide in any way. We understand that this topic is sensitive in nature. If you feel that you might be negatively affected by reading writing on this topic, please take care of yourself and feel free to check back in next month with our new topic. If you are personally dealing with any suicidal thoughts or ideations, or know someone who is, please reach out to someone you trust. There are also pastors, crisis and suicide prevention hot lines, and mental health professionals that can help you navigate through this difficult time. We pray that the Spirit of God will fill you with both hope and peace as we go through this month.
