The question is not rather from a person that wonders how to find hope without scripture, rather then how do other fellow deists pull through the hard work and still have motivation to do anything, to live, especially those with suicidal tendencies.

Personally, when I start to feel negative or depressed, as soon as I feel those feelings I focus on positive realities such as looking at the stars in the night sky which fills me with wonder and appreciation for their beauty and for my great fortune to be a living, thinking and working part of such a wonderful universe. That's a great fortune we all share.
Another way to combat the feeling of hopelessness is to take positive action. Voltaire had this advice, "An almost infallible means of saving yourself from the desire of self-destruction is always to have something to do."
