Help me!

The other night I was thinking about how once we die wi will live forever and how awesome it was that God was always there...nothing created him, and then I started fearing dying a lot! And now its not necessarily dying but I feel like I fear God but I know I have nothing to fear. I have been a long time strong Christian. I have almost felt like throwing up I have been so afraid, but I don't get it? Someone please help me!!:help: :help:

At your age you have all sorts of hormones that will send you through all sorts of emotions. Fear is naturally one of them. God gives grace when it is needed. Look to Christ, trusting that He is an all sufficient Savior. If you are in Him there is no reason to fear God. I am much closer to death than you and I don't have dying grace yet. But of course I don't need it yet I am not dying. Those times when it was a real possibility that I was dying, a heart attack and stroke, I had perfect peace with it. If we have Christ the love of God is shed abroud in our hearts and perfedct love casts out fear.

Who gives fear? Satan You can rebuke him in Jesus name.
What are the things we fear with death? being separated from people we love, not being able to do x, y, z, fear of the unknown.
Give it to God :) Tell him your fears. It's important to know 100% that if we die we go to heaven.

Claim the promises of God. :)

"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline."
2 Timothy 1:7

"For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!'" Romans 8:15

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love." 1 John 4:18

"Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught."
Proverbs 3:25-26

"Fear God in the true sense of the word means to love God, respect God, honor God, and all of this can only be done by loving your neighbor, treating him justly and mercifully and in all ways endeavoring to protect him from injustice and cruelty, thus obeying, as far as our human frailty will permit, the great immutable law of righteousness." - Theodore Roosevelt, "Fear God and Take Your Own Part"

"And fearing God, how they should nothing fear;" - Oliver Cromwell

I think it is healthy to fear God, for then you can begin to love Him.
