Survivors of Suicide
Vigial for families who have lost loved ones to suicide vigil in Media, PA, September 10, 2014
Dear Father,
Over 10 years ago I considered taking my life. As you know, I gave it enough consideration to lead me to a weekend stay in the hospital.
On Wednesday, September 10, I attended a vigil for the survivors of suicide, hosted by Survivors of Suicide (SOS). The tears and sobbing of those left behind was certainly a reminder that I never want to consider taking my life again. The pain of the surviving loved ones is awful.
We ask you for the following blessings on this charity:
- You will help the leaders of SOS learn from their adversity and then enjoy victory over the adversities they face.
- You will direct, empower, and resource SOS to help the leaders achieve excellence in what they do.
- You will bring those who have lost hope to SOS to be blessed by their excellence.
- You will transform and bless the lives of those who reach out to SOS for help.
- Those whose lives are transformed by your work through SOS will share their stories so others in need can be comforted.
God, please stop one person this hour from committing suicide, somewhere across the country, but especially in Delaware County, the home of SOS.
In Your Name,
Amen
