I need help please. I'm Christian I know I am. I'm on hospice with congestive heart failure and COPD. Yesterday I I had an attack like never before.,. I could not catch my breath and I was scared. Had a terrible childhood I had one describe me that would be fear! But since I've been a Christian my fear has been better and I'm ready for heaven I can't wait to see Jesus in my husband. So why was I so scared? Somebody please lift me up. Thank you
Jesus has felt every emotion we have ever felt. So know you are not alone in feeling scared, as I'm sure even Jesus had fear in dying even though he knew he'd be reunited with His Father. Praying for you!
You are human, and anyone in your position would feel fear. Thankfully, you accepted Jesus, and I pray that God puts people in your life that will come along side you in your fears. When we feel alone, fear can intensify. I've struggled with anxiety and depression throughout my life. I also had an unhappy childhood. Unhappy childhoods are breeding grounds for fear.
(Continue to be prayerful. Below is a scripture on prayer) And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens.
(Cleave unto Christ) 14 Yea, verily I say unto you, if ye will COME UNTO ME YE SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Behold, mine arm of mercy is extended towards you, and whosoever will come, him will I receive; and blessed are those who come unto me. 15 Behold, I AM JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name
Forgive everyone and you won't need to be perfect because then you know you are forgiven. "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. "
Christians teach that we are all born with a sinful nature. We are predestined to sin according to Christianity. Is being born one of the greatest sins? If there were no births there would never be any sins correct? The only way to escape our sinful nature is to believe in Jesus Christ and repent to keep oneself from eternal damnation. This presents a catch 22...if you don't believe in Jesus you can never be saved. It is literally impossible for your brain to believe in something it doesn't! Try! For example, no matter how much I would like to believe Santa Clause is true because that would be really cool, my brain doesn't allow it. So now to try to save myself from eternal damnation I honest and truthful say the following prayer: "Dear Christian God if you exist please forgive me for being born...sincerely me". Am I now saved from eternal damnation?
