I’m scared God is going to kill me in a plane crash

Not long ago (a couple of months ago) I was scared to get on a plane and my a vow with god basically like “hey God please don’t kill me in a plane crash and I’ll do... yada yada yada” well I’m unhappy to see I’ve don’t “yada yada” plenty of times. It was (having sex/masturbating by the way). That was the only “really” sinful thing I thought I was doing at the time. Now I’m scared to death to get on a plane and fear I’ll be the victim of an aerobatic accident due to not keeping my vow. I’ve “repented” and the fear still lingers in me. I realize that in the Bible God is claimed to be merciful but the stories I’ve read (Golden Calf, David’s adultery and Ananias and Sapphira) it seems God isn’t that merciful even when one is repentant (David’s son still being killed). I don’t want this fear to stop from living my life and traveling but...

Jesus said when the adulterous women was about to be stoned "he who is without sin let him cast the first stone". The thing is Jesus was the one that was without sin and he did not condemn her. If God wanted you dead avoiding plane travel won't stop him but we have another answer than fear because Christ is not in the business of hurling stones so if you want forgiveness seek Christ and he will forgive your sins.

Would God murder others, who are innocent people to destroy one who has sinned?
Your fear is gone if you repent, God promises to forgive us.

Bind the spirit of fear..its written God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind PERIOD. Fear.. not of God.. if God is talking to you.. WHAT are the FRUITS of the spirit? "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

If we sin..confess.. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleans us from ALL ALL ALL unrighteousness.

Why would god kill you in a plane crash for your sins when he can let you live the rest of your life in which you can atone and face judgement at the end of it?

I think this an extremely rationale fear. If God can save some he can also choose to do nothing. Should we or should we not struggle against the notion that God cares for this world?
The Bible says we must not test the Lord but we believe all this time despite not seeing his muscle where it counted in our century. Stopping wars, plane crashes, rapes, shipwrecks, murders, sex trafficking, political appointments, hateful and overreactive behavior from police, corrupt and dishonest businessmen and women, industry titans poisoning food and products while blurring their crimes and paying morally weak people to find words other than the truth. Ridiculous federal leniency on violence and high society privilege. Elevating socially reprehensible and fatal ideas like gun control instead of banning them like other countries have done.
Americans give a stage to ignorant and foolish agendas and those agendas stir up a love for the devil, his enterprises ( love of money) and his exploits. who waste their money in front of millions-who will never see similar funds, spoiled and rotten celebrities, excesses building up for the few and the masses being charged with funding the most corrupt engines of capitalism in this nation.
It baffles me that we do not put his inactions under trial for the simple fact HE is notorious for allowing things he could easily right in this world. God can change hearts and minds, seas and winds can he not? Yet these are all fine words while millions lay dead all around the earth since he spoke of great care for us. Since he is the greatest power revealed to our psyche… to see others perish and yet call ourselves blessed ignores the possible truth that we are loved but not promised his protection as history cannot lie. It must repeat itself or be changed. So my question is when is Gods power coming to change the ink in todays stories as he did eons ago?
