Having personally struggled with severe depression and suicidal feelings and attempts for over 20 years, plus having counseled many who are on the verge of suicide and counseled parents of children who have committed suicide, I have found that these are some of the most powerful statements you can make to a suicidal person. It should be followed up with much warfare and corporate prayer, particularly pulling down the demonic stronghold of suicide, depression and hopelessness. Suicide is demonic. If you understand this you will begin to fight it very aggressively on the spiritual level. Praying affirmative, pertinent scripture verses, inserting the person’s name, is one of the highest levels of spiritual warfare. Psalm 40 and 23 are excellent verses to confess and speak over the individual. Don’t just pray for them, be there for the person. They feel utterly hopeless and need to know that they matter and that someone truly cares.
