Has anyone else prayed for death?

[symphony]

I'm an atheist but I still sometimes do this. How pathetic is that?

 

[Muse]

I pray all the time to be dead even if I am an atheist.

 

[Maaizr]

im a christian and i do this lmao, you should never feel bad for it..

 

[eternalflame]

Peaceful death in sleep, yes.

 

[savoytruffle]

I walk down the street silently hoping some drunk driver swerves off the road and hits me. That's not praying but close enough, lol

etimes do this. How pathetic is

yes i do pray for death , natural death , everyday before going to sleep i pray that i do not wakeup next day . i intentionally stayed unvaccinated for a 1.5 year after corona outbreak to die naturally by contracting CORONA , and then i had to travel to somewhere and got vaccinated .

 

[Lost Magic]

Yep, I used to pray that I would take a heart attack and die in my sleep for weeks. I lost so much weight due to starving myself but my heart must be strong, so it never happened. Damn, you strong but also broken heart! waves fist in air

 

[UnravelingWinter]

I've begged for death and nonexistence.

 

[MegaGordo]

Yes. Fervently. For the death of certain others. Unfortunately, all to no avail. God is so disappointing.

 

[Skullomania]

Yes. Obviously I was not listened to, also because God does not exist. There is only the life that has been assigned to you by nature, which as in my case, can be a nightmare.

 

[rationaltake]

I so get this.

 

[FuneralCry]

I do not believe in religion, but every night I hope to fall asleep and never wake up. All that I want is to peacefully pass away and be free from all suffering. More than anything I wish that it was easier to exit this world. It hurts me that it is so difficult to leave.

 

[Symbiote]

Every night before I wake, I pray my soul they take, peacefully in my sleep, and cast me in oblivion deep.

 

[thedaywillcome]

I do scream for death!

 

[fox_wannabe]

Yeah... I did.
This method is trash.

 

[Skullomania]

think how nice it would be if there was a button to die instantly.

 

[Freedomindeath4me]

Yes, when I was a Christian I prayed for death. One of my most consistent prayers really. Many prayed for my health but I wanted death. And then when God didn't answer either for enough of a time my brain turned against him. Then I read more about bible contradictions and read scholarly sources about the bible and came to feel stupid for ever converting in the first place.

 

[hopelessgirl]

Every night lol

 

[Huntfish34]

Many many times I pray for death,. Sadly I'm still here staring at my phone. =\

 

[elbjr]

Yes, my condition is living torture. I prayed for healing or death. Every day..

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

From reading the posts I am surprised so many do what I do and pray to never wake up.

Although it might not be something people talk about openly, I can say with some conviction I've never met anyone who also feels this way. I hold the belief that if I could meet such a person there would be some solace for me.

 

[Hurt]

I do that everyday

 

[13_reasons]

I pray to God often, and pray for death in a roundabout way.

Every day I'll read something in the news about a baby being born with an inoperable brain tumour, or a young person in their 30s being diagnosed too late with advanced breast/ colon/ ovarian cancer and i'll pray to try and make a deal with God- I tell him that I'm ready to die, that I don't want anything else with this life.

To see people who are clinging to hope and so determined to live against the odds- it breaks my heart. I tell him to do a swap- that I'll very gladly take that inoperable brain tumour, so that baby has a chance to grow up with his parents who love him so much. It doesn't seem fair that he seems to allocate death to the people who are the least prepared for it. I struggle to understand the bigger picture, and worry that his plan for me is to live to a ripe old age in great physical condition just because he can.

 

[I need peace]

Yes, I'm aghnostic but I have found myself crying and praying to die a few times

 

[MatthewV3]

I remember myself 7 years ago. I graduated grade school and I was going to highschool. First day at school with all these new people. Social anxiety hit hard. I knew that I don't belong there, I knew that once the lessons are over, I'm gonna come back home and never go there again. So I came back home, locked myself in my room, cried a lot and prayed for a peaceful death. I said "Lord, please take me to you already, I don't belong here, I just can't, I'll go to sleep and I will never wake up, please make it happen". 7 years later I'm still alive..so I assume that either God doesn't exist at all or he just doesn't give a shit.

lol

 

[Pol]

i was raised a catholic.
but the only times i really genuinely sincerely prayed was when i asked to not wake up.

 

[Graytaichi]

Why, are u afraid of anyone who looks at u with pity. It be only a while maybe 6 months. Chances of recieving it is close to 10%, cancer whould drag another few years and this is not what this forum is all about

 

[Socaku]

I had.... To Demons and Gods.....No one answered though.....

I don't exactly pray, I'm not religious, but there are times I lie down in bed and hope my unhealthy eating habits will just kill me already.
