This choose life or death scripture has been very important to me.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”
(Deuteronomy 30:19, KJV Bible Verse)

I listen every year and recommend it soooo highly.

I was in a life threatening situation. I was rarely sure that someone would turn up to feed me. In terms of both my physical ability to sit up, chew and swallow and with limited help available, it was hard to get enough food in my body to stay alive.

Often I found myself thinking I might die. I replaced the thought with,
“I choose life. I choose blessings.”
Often I found myself desperately trying to work out how to stay alive, I replaced the thought with,
“I choose life. I choose blessings.”
Sometimes death felt like a tempting option - a chance for rest. I replaced the thought with,
“I choose life. I choose blessings.”
I repeated this scripture about choosing life again and again and again.
Gradually, my world started to change.
Carers started to turn up.
They then started to turn up on time.
Then I got carers who adapted in a way that allowed me to talk, so that I had a better chance of asking for what I needed.
My survival was becoming less precarious, but I was still in a life-threatening situation. I persisted in choosing life.
Although my circumstances said this wasn’t my choice...
I chose to believe that as I changed the thoughts in my mind, I was giving God access to change my world.
I kept choosing life over death using this and other healing bible scriptures, and today I am happy to say that I have a life that is far safer and full of many blessings.
I could still do with it being easier :-) and so I continue to say....
I choose life. I choose blessings.
If you have a hard life and you tell yourself that the life you have is the life God wants you to have, then be gentle on yourself, accept this thought and then practice a new thought. "I choose life".
In the scripture above God asks us to choose between life and death.
In Genesis, the Bible tells us that we have been given dominion over the earth.
"Let them (mankind) have dominion over the
fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle,
and
over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth."
(Genesis 1:26,
KJV Bible verse)
The story of Hezekiah tells us that a change in our thoughts changes our world.
Over and over again we are told in the Bible that our job is to pay attention to the thoughts of lack in our mind and bring them in line with the thoughts of
abundance
and provision of God.
A Course In Miracles tells us even more clearly to take responsibility for changing the thoughts that keep God out.
Life has definitely been hard for me at times, but within those hard
circumstances I have had powerful experiences of the Life of God flowing
through me.
The most important life is of course not the life of the body.
So even if your body seems to be failing, keep choosing life not death. Keep choosing blessing not cursing.
You may see changes that allow you to live a longer physical life.
You may see changes that allow you to experience a richer LIFE within the life you have.
As you align your thoughts with God's in this way, you are also helping to bring life and blessings to everyone.
The Power of The Word
Dear God help me.
Use these words to move my world to be the world you would have it be -
I choose life.
"Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".
Amen
Here are some more wonderful bible verses if you have suicidal thoughts. Elijah feels like he has had enough and wants to die.
All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”
So
he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled
forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. "
There may be times when you need to say to yourself "Get up and eat" - or if you are bedbound ;-) "Eat".
Sometimes doing the next thing you can to stay alive is a massive achievement.
Please keep going.

"One thing that struck me was the stripping of ego in the work. Most of us have a comfy ego façade, but weakness and disease tore Katherine’s away. The poems in Be Loved Beloved come from the heart."
Dana Taylor, Author of Ever-Flowing Streams: Tapping into Healing Energy
These poems about flowers speak of their beauty as a sign of hope and their fragility as a reminder to seek God in the present moment.
Spiritual beliefs often draw on the idea that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. We remember, we awaken, we allow God to be present through us
