Suicide

Some people who have searched this web blog lately have looked up the term "suicide" in connection with a particular soldier's name. 
This is despair

We ask you to pray for all men and women who have committed suicide. 

Father, open the door
to Heaven for those
who have committed
suicide
We ask you to intervene, if you see that a family member, friend, coworker, fellow soldier, neighbor or anyone else is failing and needs help. Reach out and help them, as you would want to be helped.

There was a song by the band "Three Dog Night" in the 1970's, called "Easy to be Hard", in which it was stated: 

How can people be so heartless?; How can people be so cruel?; Easy to be hard; Easy to be cold; How can people have no feelings?; How can they ignore their friends?; Easy to be proud, Easy to say no. 

That about sums it up. Let's not do that. Let us strive to help others.

God the Father, take all suicides to heaven. Amen
