Are you ever afraid........

[Quiet Storm]

Do you ever feel consumed by fear because of what's going on with the U.S? I mean every time I turn on the news, it's always talking about how our president defiantly wants to go to war for whatever reason, Saddam Hussein basically beckoning us saying "Bring it on", and North Korea starting talk about waging war on us now. And I'm attending college in WASHINGTON,DC of all places!!!!! I've been really stressed out about it for a long time, and I think the minute another terrorist attack or anything close to war-like activity happens in or around the District, I'm either going to pack up and take the semester off, or completely transfer schools back to Alabama. I can hardly concentrate and do almost anything to take my mind off of my worries, and it goes into effecting my schoolwork. Sometimes it feels like I can't handle this. Yesterday I was wishing that I was born in any other generation before this one. Does/has anybody else go through feeling like this, and if so, how do you receive encouragement?

mhhhh not really worrying 'bout that kinda stuff but God is totally in control all the time & he loves you. You're totally 'safe beneath his wings', he's protecting & providing & whatever happens to uhh those who love God ummm is meant for good..something like that (thats in the bible if ya know what I mean !!)
God please set Quiet Storm free from his fear and let him feel all safe & calm & draw him all close to You. Please fill hi heart with your love & help him totally rely on You. In Jesus' name. Amen

Yeah, sometimes that is scary, but remember God placed men in authority, and he knows what's going on. I trust him. Whatever comes my way, I will accept, hopefully without much trouble.

Quiet Storm, I was getting somewhat depressed awhile back about how much evil there is in the world. Then God gave me Psalm 37 to read, You might wish to read it for yourself. It was a great comfort and help to me. Also read Psalm 91, Know that God is with you and will always watch over you.

i live 1 hr from the largest military base in the world. so yes it will get your mind to thinking. If God calls us home then that is what he does. I fear the anger and hate in the world and wished we could all be marry. It is those that push power on people and support hate. God Bless us all and may we Bless God

If any of the boys from the 40s are still around they could answer your question.

Quite Storm, you could think about all the stuff that is happening in a different light. Rather than fear you could be excited. Many of the things that are happening could be the events leading up to Christs return. Think about it this way, you could be part of the generation that won't die. You could be part of the generation that was alive when He returns. Sure what is happening in the world is scary, and the prospect of war is never a comfortable thing. But if this is the time leading up to Christ return, it will get much worse ... but for all those who believe in him, it is a wonderful time of anticipation.
