Fear

[Quiet Storm]

Gosh, everybody, I'm sorry for asking for so many prayer requests, but there's so much that I want to get over. Praise God that everything that I've been going through recently has passed, but now I'm going through a fear/disappointment situation. It's like every time I encounter the reality of the rapture and its closeness, I'm either filled with fear or dissapointment. I've always wanted to have long years on this earth, ma....well I won't get all into that AGAIN!! (sorry) The thing is that I know that I shouldn't be feeling like this, because I'm God's child, and should be eagerly awaiting Christ's return, but whenever this dissapointment comes..... I don't know... I see a lot of people saying how they're anxiously awaiting Christ's return, and I envy them because they've got to experienece a lot of things that I want to but haven't yet, and I feel guilty because of a lot of times I want Him to wait until I experience things here on earth.   I've been pushing this under the rug for awhile and pretending like I don't really feel this, but since the past few weeks, I've been learning to deal with everything the moment that it presents itself so that I'll have unrightousness removed from me. This is something hard, though. I'd like to say this is my last time for awhile, but I don't know how true that'll be.

Hey dont worry about it God will expose these things when he wants to it isnt our Job to worry about hese things. Our duty is to worship and follow him in the way that he wants us to. We need to witness to otheres and get the message out if you are worried about the rapture. You have a burden for the lost That is a good thing That is the frist sign of a man of faith!

I am praying for you that you will do what god tells you and that you will find your anwser

I will pray for you.

I know when I think about Christs return I have mixed emotions about it as well. There are still many who I would love to see saved before then, but at the same time my number one desire is to spend eternity with God. So I want him to come quickly, but not so quickly that others can't be saved. I think about how beautiful it will be to be taken up by the Lord when he returns, but also how aweful it will be for those who are left behind.

In a huge way I want nothing to do with this world anymore, I simply want Gods will to be done, and to be able to serve Him. Remember if you have experienced the Love of Christ, that's all that realy matters, for the things of this world will all pass away.

Quiet Storm,

It's NOT God's will that you should worry about the rapture. Your life on this earth is a gift from God, and your eternal life in heaven is also a gift from God. Let your heart be filled with thanksgiving to Father for every perfect gift He has blessed you with! Trust Father with everything, He loves you so much!

Oh, and ask for all the prayers you want, all the prayers you need! It is the will of the Father that we pray for each other.

This scripture might help--

2Pe. 3:8,9 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord
a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

So it is good that the Lord takes his time, as in more people might be brought into the kingdom, that also gives us more time to witness, to pray for, minister to and bless people.

I'm in agreement with all of above..
You're in our prayers.

people are always constantly in fear ... but we as Christians need never fear because we have God's promise!

God'll not go back on His word, it is His to do, not yours to judge. So what can we do? we can only trust in Him, trust in His word!

praying for you.
