Asking for prayers

A young lady who is a co worker of my wife. Is here at the house her mother has committed suicide. And this child is in so much pain it just breaks our heart. She is only twenty nine years old. She is our daughters age , I understand that her mother had mental health issues. And as a believer in Christ I feel that and pray that her soul is in heaven. As a Christian I feel if you have mental health issues or whatever it is really not your fault. As some may believe that suicide is a sin I think who are we to judge if a person was in so much turmoil.

My older brother committed suicide when he was just 25 years old. The grief never gets any easier, and neither does the guilt. What signs were missed? Why didn't he confide in me? I can only hope and pray his spirit is at rest, and he knows how much I miss him.

Lots of things are sin.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Jesus came to forgive all sins, I believe.
