[sweetlambofgod]

My biggest fear (other than bugs small enouph to fit in my ears touching my skin) would have to be that the world would run out of its' supply of starbucks carmel apple cider.

Starbucks rocks

Hi all

I'm new to this board, and what better way to introduce yourself then to tell a bunch of strangers you deepest and darkets fears.

I have but one ture fear (except catching myself on fire, but that's a whole nother story)

And that's to have lived a meaningless life, God has a purpose for each and everyone, I'm truly arfaid of not being able to fulfill the task He has set out for me. Of messing it up because of my own pigheaditness.

Money, fame, power

those things have no meaning when your 90odd staring up at some med intern telling you you have a week to live, and wondering if your life made any sort of difference.

I'm arfaid of standing before God on judgement day and having no meaningful works to offer up to him.

I heard a quote once, "die empty" everything God has given you, all your gifts, tallents, ablites, empty them all out, and use them here on earth, so when your in the grave looking up you know you have nothing more to give, you've done everything you possibly could.

I am arfaid of dying only half empty, or in the worse case full

--I'm afraid of scary health stuff. It sounds stupid, but I always get freaked out watching those TV medical dramas. Tracheotomies, eye operations...yuck. It grosses me out so much! I get squeamish with certain stuff like that.
--spiders. I don't like spiders.
--losing a loved one. I'm always afraid something bad and unexpected will happen.

These aren't in order, by the way! I'd put number 3 first, of course.

What's your biggest fears? I want to know what fears this age group has, you know. Why is it your biggest fear? How did you become afraid in the first place?

My fear: Dying a slow, painful death, whether by poison or otherwise.
Why: Do I need to explain why? Cause...I don't think I'd be able to take it.

When I was younger I had a big imagination and I was very gullible. So I was afraid of a lot of things. It took me a long time to grow out of it.
A while ago I started to fear the fact that I am going to die eventually. When both my grandmas' passed away while they were lying in bed and when they both went their breathes start getting slower and slower and then there was nothing. It was so peaceful and everyone had tears of joy because we just knew they went to heaven.
I also had a cousin that had cancer and he was 14. He was lying in bed with his mom just before he left. He told his mom that he saw Jesus and that he wasn't afraid. All his pain was gone and then left with Jesus.
There was another cousin of mine that had been battling a disease for 18 years and she was 30. She wasn't doing good and in the hospital awhile away. I infact got to see her before I left for a missions trip. I didn't have long to see her as visiting hour were near finished. When I went in to see her they were just getting ready to give her a bath, so I just got to say 'Hi' and then had to leave. She wasn't saved BTW. She was happy to see me and everything. I wasn't able to say what I wanted to say though. So I left for my missions trip, the night I arrived to where I needed to be, I was told to call my mom. I did, and she said my cousin passed away a few hours earlier. She said she was so afraid before she died. That really bothered me. I felt I was my cousin's last chance for her to come to know Christ and I wasn't able to.
So when you die, I believe your going to be so at peace regardless of the circumstances involved. I remember I used to be afraid of dying but not anymore. God helped me to handle fear and not let it control you.
God Bless

Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm sorry to hear about the complications your family has had. That part about your 14 year old cousin brought tears to my eyes. That was really powerful, thank you so much for sharing that.

[Weasel7711]

Sometimes I get a little scared that I wont make a very good husband one day or a food father. I just have to trust in God to work through me.

 

[Jadiell]

Cockroaches!

oh, and doctors...

 

[underthesouthercross]

the fear of the lord...
but l would say...
Heights..ohh too high up
spiders...creepy
snakes.not a big fan

 

[Squeejie]

spiders
i have no clue why. i love pictures of spiders and spider like items. i'm wearing a venom t-shirt right now which sports a giant spider on both sides. girls that wear spider web and spider type items i find really attractive.
i just can't look at real spiders.
i have a completely irrational fear of them.

 

[haya]

My biggest fear - hands down - is that my family will go to hell.
My mom, dad, and brother haven't yet accepted Jesus as their Savior.
My nightmare of a fear is that they won't ever and that they will end up in hell.

 

[Tuffguy]

My biggest fear is that something will happen to those close to me. To me there is nothing worse then something horrible happening to a family member or gf and not being able to do anything about it.

Anything else, i feel i can handle or deal with in some way.

 

[Rebekka]

My only big fear is losing my husband. He's 10 years older and I am afraid that he will die before me. I hope to see him back in heaven of course, but I really cannot miss him here on earth. So I really hope I will die first.

Small fears are: heights, crowds (I'm shy - so also to speak in public), changes, small rooms (I'm claustrophobic), needles (though I'm getting over my fear of needles actually), cars (I'm afraid to drive, don't have a licence, don't want one - it's the speed that scares me).

 

[SanctifiedKitty]

I have a couple.
-losing my husband
-being and idiot and losing faith
-mosquitos(only living thing that I kill and only slightly feel bad)

I know that God would guide me through all of this so I dont even have a reason to fear.But,since I am imperfect my fears remain.
I pray that I hold strong to God and to stop killing His poor little creations-the mosquitos.

 

[SanctifiedKitty]

And I mourn/fear for those who have/will never know Jesus.
