For the first time ever, I am truly afraid

OP sounds like an agent. All these types of posts sound the same.

Well I'm anonymous AND a coward sooooo I got nothin.

Encouraging and comforting verses for troubling times.


Isaiah 41:10 "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."


Matthew 6:25-33“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Nahum 1:7 "Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble: He knows those who take refuge in Him"

Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and He will sustain you: He will never permit the righteous to be moved."

Isaiah 40:28-31 "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God (Yahweh), the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint; and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint ."

John 16:33 "I have told you these things so that you would find comfort in Me. In this world, you will suffer; but be courageous, for I have overcome the world!"

Revelation 21:1-4 "And I saw new heavens and a new earth, for the first ones had passed away; and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, that is, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And then I heard a great voice from heaven, which said, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them, and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."


Isaiah 46:4 "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you."

:footrfootp:


Have a beautiful day!


Deuteronomy 31:8 "It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Psalm 55:22 "Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved."

John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

John 16:33 "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Romans 8:6 "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace."

Philippians 4:6-7 "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Colossians 3:15 "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful."

Thank you for the pin.

Thank you to everyone that has replied. There are some extraordinary responses. I haven't made it through all of them. I had no idea I would receive such support.

One thing I do want to point out. I am in no way narcissistic or seeking attention. I apologize if I came across that way. They aren't good qualities to have. I guess I just wanted to express what I am feeling at this moment. Based on the responses, I appear not to be the only one that is apprehensive.

Thank you all again!

Damn... a PA gal too ?

Nice.

Which end of PA are you in ?

You are all truly wonderful people. So many kind responses.

To the person that asked if I am concerned that I haven't done enough. Yes. I think that is the root of all of my worry.

I need to do more and if nothing happens, I need to remember how I have felt prior to this and do something about it.

It will be a second chance. Blessings to all of you.

I don't know what it is or why but I have an anxiousness that I cannot shake. While part of me believes nothing will happen in the next few weeks, another part of me is worried and nervous.

I am a tough broad, haha. I have faced many trials throughout my life.

Some that I look back on and wonder, what was I thinking?

Like the time my oldest daughter was being bullied and 15 girls showed up at my house to "confront" her. I ran out onto my lawn with a baseball bat ready to swing at anyone that attempted to harm her. Needless to say my psychotic behavior that night paved a better road for her at school because no one wanted to mess with the girl with the lunatic for a mother.

I faced sickness, almost losing my home, raising my girls alone, and countless other scenarios. It is life, nothing spectacular and nothing that no one else faces. But I faced it head on, never backing down and with no fear. I believe in God, heart, body and soul.

I am afraid. I don't know what to expect and I don't know if I have done enough in my life or helped my girls enough.

I mean that's what it is all about, right? Doing for others. I hope I have done enough, I hope I have taught my girls so that they have done enough. I hope I haven't wasted too much time because for once in my life, I am afraid.

Lisa*Lisa, thank you for the verses. I will definitely read them later.

To everyone else, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I want to respond to each and every one of you but there are too many. It's nice that we aren't alone.

Some say doom, some say enlightenment. I truly have no idea, but my switch was turned on 9-10-11 and to this day there is no other thing that has occupied my thoughts more than that something is coming. If nothing happens, then I have alot of catching up to do around the house.

I live in the southeastern part of PA.

Wow...u mad dude?

So this lady shared some of her life, and that she is indeed a badass mom...in case you've been livin' in a damned cave all your life, most moms I know are extremely protective of their young, hence the survival of the species, you penis-owners included.

How is it wrong that someone start a thread, with a subject that is quite common amongst many of us humans in the world right now? Many of us are at the least a little apprehensive about what might be comin' in the next few weeks. I know I am!

If you think all women, and women alone, really really possess sucky personalities, you must never have found one of us good ones. Poor thing.
