I guess the thing I'm scared of is the process of death....as in, what is going to kill me?
Yes especially in this world. The good news is, the Lord will give us the strength and courage to endure. When He was talking to the disciples at the end of John, just before the Ascension, He told Peter that his death6would be used to glorify God. So ours too.
This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
