EMERGENCY HELP

If you are in immediate physical danger or thinking of suicidal plans, please call 911 immediately. Please tell the 911 operator "I am in physical danger" or "I am thinking of suicidal plans and I need help immediately." Give the 911 operator your physical address and remain on the phone until help arrives for you. Problems are always temporary but suicide is eternal. Persons who are thinking of suicidal plans are very close to commiting suicide and need immediate help. If you are thinking of suicidal plans you need others to help you now, so please do not hesitate to call 911. Calvary Baptist Church provides pastoral counseling and relief, but we cannot provide rescue services.

We do provide a number of resources to help individuals struggling with difficult circumstances. We understand that life is complicated and painful at times, and it's okay to ask for help. Any and all help we provide to you will be kept in the strictest respect and confidentiality.

Helpful Verses

"My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your paths." (Prov. 3:5-6, NIV)

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28, NIV)

"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (Jer.29:11, NLT)

“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?  And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing,  yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today."  (Matthew 6:24-34, NLT)

"The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is admirable or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received...put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:5-9, NIV)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." (2 Cor. 5:17, NIV)

"Casting all your anxieties on him because He cares for you."
(I Peter 5:7, NIV)
