Scared to die

[Phx0808]

When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Ok seriously, a line a song called Home Where I Belong by B.J. Thomas express how I feel about death.
One I'll be sleeping and death knocks on my door, I'll awake to find, I'm not homesick anymore. I'll be home, home where I belong.

This physical life on earth is a just a moment in time and compares nothing to the eternity you will have in heaven.

I may have many fears in this world but being scared to die isn't one of them.  By the grace and mercy of the Lord I have peace in my heart and am looking forward to being in His presence on day.  Man wasn't originally designed to die but due to sin in the mortal life, death became a punishment.  However, the Lord loved us enough to provide comfort for that punishment ~ eternal salvation in heaven.  It is so comforting to know there is something better to go to than this life.  It makes this life so much more pleasurable to bear.  My heart breaks for those who don't share this view because it would be very scary thinking this world is the best it gets!  If the Lord doesn't come back first and I do die in this body, I pray I go quickly.  I will pray for you that you can find some comfort.

The process of dying is scary becuase we dont know how it will happen...of course no one wants it to be painful Im not scared only because I know where im goin after I die..iv sealed the deal with Jesus and I have to trust him...Iam scared for ppl who do did who dont know him...now thats pure pain

No...not afraid to die but I wouldn't want to suffer or experience overwhelming pain.  Everything and everyone has a life cycle.  We are born. We live. We die and hopefully we enjoy the experience of life.

I view death as a graduation of this life time and the beginning of a new chapter.

Later...

Wow.  You say why are we hear if we are just going to die.  I can't look at it that way and don't even understand looking at it that way.  They way I look at it is that life isn't worth living if you are going to live scared.
