Wanting To Die?

Q:  What is the difference between wanting to die and actually performing the act, such as what happened to Jeremiah?

A:  Your question is insightful.  Desiring to hurt yourself or to die can be a natural emotional decision that does make us vulnerable but does not condemn us.  What is required under any temptation is the faith to trust God's way over the "natural" response. So what we do is more important that what we considered doing.
