Last week there were several request for prayer concerning those who were considering or talking about ending their lives. We also were saddened by the news of Andrew Koenig and Michael Blosil (Marie Osmond's son). I pray for their families and all families and friends of those who have taken their own lives.
We have become so desensitized to death in this nation that people are beginning to believe that ending their life is a solution to life's problems? Why is depression seem so prevalent in our nation? Ten years ago I never heard of someone being bi-polar and now it seems that so many are diagnosed as bi-polar.
This article from Lifenews cites that young women are more likely to commit suicide and that abortion is one reason for the increase. The study showed that women who had abortions were more likely to commit suicided than women who delivered their babies. The article also said that other studies showed that women who have had abortions have higher rates of depression and mental illness than women who gave birth.
Please continue to pray that we would turn to the Lord Jesus and receive His Love, Mercy, Compassion, Forgiveness, Salvation and the abundant life the He offers to all who will call upon HIs name. Pray for those who are suffering from depression, pray for their families and friends.
The enemy of our souls comes to steal, destroy and murder. Jesus comes to give life and that more abundantly. JOHN 10:10

Depression is the main thing that women talk about after their abortion with me. I was depressed after my abortion and went on 'happy pills' but that would only last for a while before the doctor would have to prescribe different ones.
