CARLOS SANTANA - CHRIST SAVED SANTANA FROM SEVEN SUICIDES

CHRIST SAVED SANTANA FROM SEVEN SUICIDES

Guitar great CARLOS SANTANA was saved from suicide seven times after splitting from his wife of 34 years in 2006 - by the voice of Christ.
The deeply religious rock star admits he struggled to get past the grief the failure of his marriage caused - and figured he'd be better dead than alive.
He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "There were seven times when suicide was knocking. It got to the point where I really thought that death would be sweeter than the pain.
"But each time I would go light up a candle, and I'm still hearing all this inner stuff, a thousand voices screaming at you, accusing you... but then I would just look at a picture of Jesus and say, 'Help me,' and then, very clearly, inwardly, I would hear this one voice that's softer and louder than all the others, and it would say, 'I'm sitting next to you. Isn't that enough?'
"Once I heard that voice, something would shift, and I'd be able to find joy again in food and breathing."
