We will all die someday. How do I prepare myself for death?

3 years ago I discovered a lump on my body and I was instantly terrified. I went to my doctor and he said it wasn't anything to be worried about. In the past month I went back to get it checked on and again he said not to worry about it, but I have the option to get it removed. No matter how many times he has said that it's not cancer, I am always worried about it though, not a day has gone by these past 3 years that I haven't thought what if that lump is going to be the thing that kills me?

Anyways, that got me thinking most people are afraid to die and don't accept the fact that one eventually one day they will experience their last day of their life.

I have just come to the realization that no matter what we do, we will never be able to avoid death no matter how far away it can seem. Heck, I could even die an hour from now or a month or maybe I still have a good 50 years left.

It intrigues me how so many human beings have died in the history of... well, everything! And yet no one can be for sure what really happens when we take that last breath. What will be waiting for us on the other side, that to me is the greatest mystery of life.

I'm scared of dying I will admit that, but what scares me even more is leaving my loved ones behind. Especially my mother.

I am Christian but I am not a very strong one, I have told people my doubts and they all say that it is normal to question my beliefs. I want to become closers to God but I find myself not going to church often or even thanking him for giving me my life. I worry that what if I haven't done enough to make it and I will be judged negatively based on what I have done in my life and how I have wasted it on pointless things.

My question is how do I prepare myself to die. I don't want to be one of those people who live their life selfishly and wait til' the last minute to come to God. I have just been thinking about it recently and I don't want to waste anymore time being doubtful and know that I will definitely have a place in Heaven.

Sorry for making this so long and telling random stories! I just wanted you to know what has been going on my thought process.

Thank you!

Should We Come To God Out of Fear of Hell?

Scared to Heaven ? Focus on the journey not the destination Faith is the journey that so many of us have been missing. In its place Christian leader’s seem to be focused on selling their followers on the absence of the destination of hell. Should this be the focus of the christian community? So many of us have heard ministers talk about the topic for years. This seems logical right, no wants the burn in flames for ever. Nor would they want a loved one to suffer such a fate. However there is something very lacking with this type of thinking. Imagine a man about to propose to his sweetheart. He gets on his knees, and looks deeply...

Yoda is RIGHT on this one! ATHEIST and Many Churches should realize Nicolo Machiavelli was WRONG! Better To Be Feared Or Loved?

Nicolo Machiavelli tutored kings on this topic concerning ruling their people. It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both. - Nicolo Machiavelli Machiavelli came to a conclusion that fear was better than love. He reasoned love was a reciprocal relationship, depending on others to continue to love you in order to rule over them. He believed fear could be sustained due to the relationship being one sided. Machiavelli maybe should have had a talk with a Mr. Yoda from the Star Wars movies before he came to this conclusion. The Character has a famous quote from the movies regarding fear, and well he...

Why Your Valley Is Your Mountian Top

Valley of the Shadow of Faith We have all felt as if we were down in a valley at some point in our lives. More then the a few times for must of us. Truth is however the appearance of the valley is nothing more then a test of our faith. When things aren’t going our way its natural for us to wish things were more idea. This however is not God’s plan or else things would have been as you wish. Not to say at some point the destination your praying for won’t be realized. But at the current...

Richard Dawkins May Believe In Intelligent Design. Also Doesn’t Know Why He Believes In The Big Bang and Other Theories.

Never fails to amaze me when I hear atheist tell me how evolution, the big bang theory, etc are fact. I am told how great minds agree on them so they obviously have proof. When atheist leaders are pressed to explain such theories a very different conclusion is obvious. They don’t know why they believe what they do! Not I but Richard Dawkins sentiment . Don’t believe me watch Ben Stein interview Richard Dawkins himself. Some complain that the video was edited. Truth is he said he didn’t know why he believed some of the very fundamental basics of atheist beliefs. Such as the self replication molecule! Can’t blame that on editing. Yeah...

Is Swagbucks Legit? Read my review to find out!

Swagbucks at first seems too good to be true right? They are just going to give you free stuff for just searching for a word in their search engine, watching videos, answering a few simple questions. Well it turns out that is exactly how their site works. Swagbucks is no Scam! I know have been using their site daily for the past few months. I don't make a ton of cash but hey its money. I usually take in anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 a day. Again not a ton of cash, but that more then pays for my cell phone bill each month. And most of what I am doing I would be doing anyway somewhere else for free. I...

ILLITERATE IRONY

Ah the great irony of atheism. Its a basically an anti-religion religion. A religion that says no one can tell me what to think. Let think the same exact things as everyone else in their religion. Make fun of others for believing in a book, but believe in books themselves as if it was written by the hand of God. They claim to have found the greatest form of happiness, but let have the highest rate of suicide. Not to mention for some odd reason seem very angry almost all the time. Claim man kind is finally intelligent enough to figure out there is no God, but for the first time grandparents are now more literate then their grand...

Faith Explains it All

I view faith as one of the most misunderstood terms in of the christian faith its self. This is very strange giving the term faith is so obviously vital to the description of our belief. However whats more startling is its grand importance to being a true believer. It would be like a race car driver not knowing what a car is. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be counting on that guy doing well in the race. In the same way can a christian do well in the race of the christian faith without the understanding of what faith is? I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy...
