Overcoming Thoughts of Suicide and Self-Harmনমুনা

You Belong In Community

Who in your life uplifts you, encourages you, and challenges you to seek God faithfully? Who knows the things you’re struggling with and is there for you in a time of need, no matter what time of day or night it is?

God didn’t create you to go through life on your own. He created you to be surrounded by other followers of Christ to build you up, pray for you, and carry you when you can’t go any further. If you don’t have relationships like that in your life, you’re missing out!

The Bible tells us that when two or more people are gathered in the name of Jesus, God is there among them. Two people are better than one, the book of Ecclesiastes says, because if one of them falls, the other is there to offer a helping hand. And just like a cord of three strands woven tightly together is not easily broken, a group of believers standing together for each other is strong and united. 

If you’re reading this and realize that you don’t have this type of community in your life, we want you to know that we’re here for you! Join us for an online church service at Church Online or submit a prayer request to our team here. We would love to help you continue on this road to restoration and healing. You can belong in our community!

Take a moment now to pray this to God: God, thank You for creating me to exist in community with people who love and encourage me. I know that I can’t go through life on my own, and ask that You would help me have the courage to reach out to others for help and guidance. I believe that You will bring the right people into my life to help me grow closer to You every day. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
