    Pray for me. I live in fear everyday. I fear life itself. Any tragedy I hear about, I think it's going to happen to me. God is always here for me and I have not had any majo tragedies in my life. I just can't shake this fear of life. It's a miserable feeling. I know it's all about trust and faith in God. Please pray for me

    Lynn, I responded to your prayer because I have the same problem you have at times and life gets me so down and worried also. I you have God in your life then as fast as we will pass through this life it will be no time before we are ready for judgment day so turn it over to God and stop worrying! Take the best and happiest day you have ever had in your life then times that by 1 million and that is what Heaven is going to be like for ever and ever so why worry about everything all the time and just look ahead for the day you enter heaven and think about what that is going to be like! Please stop worrying about this life and start thinking about the next one! I will pray for you.my Good luck my Friend!!

    Dear Lynn,

    I'm praying for you.

    Have you read this verse from 1 John? You might consider reading that chapter.

    It says love casts out fear. The opposite of fear is love. This means that if you practice love, including loving God and loving others, then you can loosen your fear- it won't grip you as much. How can you practice this? You can worship God with praise songs, prayer, meditate on the truth of his words in the Bible. You can also volunteer to help others with acts of kindness. Maybe you help comfort others and help reduce their fear by showing your love and kindness. Write encouraging letters to others or spend quality time in person, or do acts of service to help those in need. Giving gifts. There are different ways to express love and fill your life with this, and in turn, help build up others. Also, practicing gratefulness. Making lists of positive things you've done, have experienced, and look forward to. Even the simple things, like if you have a 2 arms and 2 legs, can talk, or write, or have a computer, or a place to live.

    PHILIPPIANS 4:8. God bless you!
