Hope Beyond Despair: Finding Truth After A Loved One’s Suicide

DAY 3 OF 16

Saul, the son of Kish, is another suicide recorded in Scripture. Saul was appointed as Israel’s first king. He was a very handsome man (1 Samuel 9:2). He was married to a woman named Ahinoam, and had at least five children: three sons and two daughters (1 Samuel 14:49-50). Saul committed suicide on the battlefield after he was wounded by archers. He took his own life out of fear of torture by his enemies.

There is no heartache equal to that of losing a loved one. Unanswered questions, despair, and perhaps self-blame can leave those left behind with feelings of hopelessness. This 16-day plan examines biblical examples of suicide as well as the smorgasbord of lies we are tempted to believe in a suicide situation. Replacing these lies with God’s Truth will bring healing and comfort to those left behind.
