How can I stop being afraid of dying?





Here's the answer:

A lot of people are afraid of dying, but God says we don’t have to fear death.

God has promised that we can trust Him. We know God is perfect and good. You can ask yourself, "Why am I afraid of dying?" God’s answers to your questions might help you not be afraid anymore.

Am I afraid of dying because I don’t know what happens after
I die?

If you have a relationship with Jesus, the Bible says that the moment you die you go to be with Jesus. If you’re afraid that you’re not going to heaven with Jesus, then know that Jesus died for you. He wants you to trust Him as Savior and know you are going to heaven.

Am I afraid of dying because I don’t know how it will happen or that it might hurt?
Sometimes people die quickly and sometimes the person is sick for a long time. No matter how you die, Jesus will be right there beside you. He will never leave you.

Am I afraid because my friends and family will miss me?
God promises to comfort our friends and family. He will help them and take care of them when we are gone.

Whenever you are afraid of dying, talk to God and say, "God, I trust you. Help me not to be afraid."
