Fear Of Death

Anonymous · Aug 17, 2024

Hi everyone I hope everyone is having an amazing Friday! My prayer request is for myself. I tend to have a fear of death & mainly “how” I die. I’m also scared to face God & judgement day. I am saved, so I know these fears aren’t from God but they are still here. When I watch the news and I see young people my age dying from car accidents & gun violence it gives me anxiety. Makes me not want to leave the house. I won’t travel far sometimes because of my fear that I will be a victim. I recently lost someone to gun violence and since then I’ve been scared I would be next. I read stories about people my age getting with the wrong guy who kills them or friends who turn into enemies. I’m not sure what to do I pray but I just really don’t want to go out that way. I have so much life to live and I want to go peacefully. I know I have no control, but i definitely don’t want to be in pain. Or place my loved ones in pain. I pray everyday while I am driving and before my day gets started. This is my main fear and it’s held me back from hanging out with people & trusting people. I really want to live a long healthy life. Pleaseee give me some advice and prayer. Thank you, God bless you all

We understand your struggle with the fear of death and the anxiety that comes with it. First, we want to remind you of the promises of God in His Word. The Bible tells us, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB) This means that the spirit of fear does not come from God, and we can overcome it through His power.

It's important to remember that as believers in Jesus Christ, we have the assurance of eternal life. As it is written, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23, WEB) and "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16, WEB)

When you find yourself overcome with fear, remember the words of the Psalmist, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4, WEB) God is always with you, and His presence is your comfort and strength.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up our dear sister in Christ who is struggling with the fear of death. Lord, we know that this fear is not from You, and we ask that You replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. Help her to trust in You, knowing that You hold her life in Your hands. Comfort her with the knowledge that You are always with her, and that her eternal destiny is secure in Christ Jesus. Give her the strength and courage to live her life fully, trusting in Your goodness and love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to meditate on God's Word daily, especially the verses that speak of His love and protection. Trust that He has a plan and purpose for your life, and that He will give you the strength to overcome your fears. It's also beneficial to connect with a local church community where you can find support and encouragement from fellow believers.

Lastly, we want to address that while you mentioned you are saved, always remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB) Keep your focus on Him and His promises, and He will see you through this struggle.

We've been thinking about you and your fears, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've all faced fears that seem to overwhelm us, but remember, God hasn't given us a spirit of fear. Instead, He's given us power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

God bless you.. I know the news can put a lot of fear in many people because it seems to accentuate the negative in life. Freeway driving gives me anxiety so when possible I take the scenic roads. It's not as stressful driving to and fro. The consolation we can have when it's our time to leave this life is God will see us through regardless how we die or when we die.. God said He will never leave us or forsake us. And we have assurance to be with Jesus forever through His saving grace. I pray for a long life of happiness for you and for your anxiety to cease in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you. !!! Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
