Dear Pastor,

I am 23 years old and I am planning to kill myself. There was this guy that I was in love with and he cheated on me, so please give me some advice.

Dear Deeply Saddened,

In relationships, not all spouses are faithful to each other. Some lie and cheat. Some are arrogant and abusive. Some are kind, while others are unkind, some are considerate while others are not.

That is why young couples should try to get to know each other very well before committing themselves to each other and should pray and ask God to help them and to keep them true to each other. They should also seek the help of pastors, family counsellors, etc.

As a young person, I want to let you know that I am sorry that your boyfriend has disappointed you, but with God's help you will overcome the stress and disappointment he has caused you. It may take some time, but you will get over him. Don't even think of hurting yourself or committing suicide. God is going to help you. Make an appointment to see a pastor or a counsellor as soon as possible. I love you and I will be praying for you.

Pastor
