Please really pray.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was fourteen and have dealt with it ever since. Well this morning I wake up to an article about SUDEP which is basically people who have been dying randomly from epilepsy. I have been freaking out about it. I absolutely hate epilepsy, it is so annoying and has caused me to not be able to do a number of things.

I will not die from epilepsy.

It has had an advantage on most of my life and it is seriously driving me mad.

Please pray about all of this. I want to achieve things for God's kingdom and glory.

I am being separated in my thoughts by "God's will is better than our own" and "what if it just happens?"

But I know God will not just "let it happen"

Anyways thank you all and when I say please really pray I mean it...

Too many say they will and just skim over.. I'm asking please please just take a moment to sincerely pray.

I am literally scared for my life. :/

Have you ever had surgery for anything? Tonsils removed? A hernia? Tubes in your ears? Wisdom teeth removed? Have you ever known anyone else who has had these kinds of minor surgeries? Has anyone you known ever died from them?

How is that connected? Because with any elective surgery, (and all of those are elective surgeries), for it not to be serious, it has to have a risk of less than 1% chance of dying from it. Less than 1%. I've had all those surgeries plus one more, (gall bladder removed.) I knew about the 1% risk. Of course it ran in my brain, but it didn't stop me.

The possibility of getting SUDEP isn't 1%. It's .1%. It's not one in 100 dies from it. It's one in a 1,000! Yeah. I get where it hits your mind, but don't let it nest there.

Will you refuse to ever ride a motorcycle too? The chance of you dying from that are higher. 1 in 948.

This is more of a problem of reading the news. The news is into telling us horrible things might happen, but they go for the truly unlikely without bothering to educate us. 1 in 7 will die from a heart attack.

Don't let the news win. Go about your life fully aware that God is in full control. He takes you home when you're ready. It's reward, not punishment. So get on with your life to work on what God wants for us, not against us. God's got no against us anymore, because Jesus took that to the cross for us

Lord, please remind Damara of your perspective so she doesn't waste any part of her life worried about something she can't do anything about instead of continuing doing what you want from her. And remind her everything you do is for her good.

Amen.
