Hi there,

I'm not sure what to do about my obsessing thinking. I think about God, and heaven all the time. I wonder if there is a god, and a heaven. (I used to believe, and still do, but for some reason I'm starting to question it) I'm scared of God, I'm scared of dying, I'm scared of never seeing my loved ones again. I want to stop thinking about this, but how do you turn something like this into a positive? or even make it funny? We don't know what will happen to us when we die so how can we write something that is true? I'm 26, and thinking about death, and God, and heaven. It doesn't calm me, it makes me sad. Anyone else like this?

Amanda

Amanda...I think that you may the wrong perception of God. He is the most, kind, gentle, loving, caring God. He is not distant and angry...He is full of love and compassion. He loves us more than we love our children, and that is hard to imagine.

Dying is just as natural as living...It is just as natural as breathing, eating and sleeping....
I think it is the unknown that is scaring you so much...I also think it may be an issue over which you know you have no control...A control issue...

I suggest you get to know Our Savior...I really think you need a "born again" experience to help you alleviate all of these fears......

Here is a video that may help you understand what kind of God we really have watching out for us... Father's Love Letter-Video

I know exactly what you are talking about. My biggest fear is death(my main source of anxiety)and I too have been questioning if there is a God or Heaven. It makes me sad to think that there may not be and that I will never see my loved ones again. I often obsessive over this and death too. Especially death. It scares me so much. Sorry I dont have any advice for you, but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone on this one. Good luck to you.

Dear Amanda and Chrissytina...The Bible says, "Far better is it to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord!"

Hello, I just wanted you to know that almost EVERY christian doubts their faith at some point or another. Do not let this bring you down! we are human, God created us, he knows that we will doubt him. If there were no doubt, then there wouldn't be faith! Just continue to live your life for him, thats faith. Faith is pressing on no matter how you feel or how much you doubt. Remember, one of of his own diciples denied his name, and he STILL loved him. He created us so he knows how our minds work!
