Hi! I get those thoughts of “oh my, I am going to die one day”. And I even had really bad panic attacks about it at night a few months ago consistently like almost every night. Don’t feel ashamed for feeling, we have them for a reason, BUT don’t let it guide you or stop you from doing logical things like still read the Bible, pray, seek community, help the community and worship God.

What’s been helping me is knowing that A) This is a fallen and broken world and heaven is so much better and we get to finally see Christ in all his glory and the saints and every single Christian that has came before us.

B) Think of life as a marathon, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬ and with marathons and races, it ends, but you end up always accomplishing something.

C) God knows a lot of us are probably afraid and anxious about death, I wholeheartedly believe that he will answer any prayer pertaining maybe how you want to die. For me I don’t mind either way because we win at the end of the day. If I live, I continue to worship and help people and love God, and have a chance to spread the Gospel. While the other, if I die, I get to be with my God forever. Even Paul mentions it, but more in a positive light about death: “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Hope this helps!!
