Did you know that suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds and second for 24- to 35-year-olds? That is a scary reality. And every suicide affects at least 6 people surrounding the person. It can be one of the toughest things to try and make sense of and can stir up big questions about the presence of God in the lives of both the victim and their social network. 

It is so sad to consider that a person can feel such despair that to them death seems the only solution.  

Verse for Meditation: Romans 8:39

Action: Today, pray for those contemplating a decision like this; that they would find the  hope, care, and support they need. Pray also for the families and friends of those left to face the pain after such a loss.
