Some guy once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” How true!
You asked several questions within a question.
Fear is being afraid of the unknown. Most everyone deals with the fear of death! Of all the fears, this is the one most people think about on a regular basis. Don’t think anyone can overcome this fear. You have your faith, but we fear that day when the doctor says, “you have only 6 months to live.” You fear that day when you arrive at the hospice house and it is your time to go! Personally, people without faith have more problems with this reality than others. Without my faith, this would be very difficult to handle.
