Living Springs Q&a

1. I have a friend who has been wrestling with self harm and suicidal thoughts because of his anxiety and depression for a long time and he has gone to the hospital lots and they just give him more pills and the pills make him feel awful and more depressed and numb and then he gets more anxious. I believe God wants to help but how? 2. In our current state on earth we have pain, death, suffering, sadness, boredom, and other not so pleasant things. However without pain and death, exploration and adventure in God's beautiful creation would lose much of its excitement. Without pain and the risk of exposure, relationships would not require hard work and could never be as deep and meaningful as they are here. Yet the Bible says that in heaven, there will be no more pain, death, or tears. As good as that sounds, I wonder if an eternity without those things would get tedious no matter how much pleasure and fulfillment in God there is. What are your thoughts on this?
