We must not be preoccupied by death, we must be preoccupied by what is coming after death..Bro Eli
few days ago I was having this exact same discussion with a friend of mine and that is living with eternity in mind always, believers really are finding it difficult to do this there by allowing the cares of life to choke them up and by so doing they worry and fall into depression and anxiety....
that is why the Bible said in the book of phillippians 4:6 ...
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
.....but in "EVERYTHING" by prayer and supplication let your REQUESTS be made known unto God... so This is God's assurance to us all that no matter what let our minds be fixed on him Cause his able to do much more than we ask think or imagine, so if a believer understands this then why worry over what to eat wear or what is to come?, is your heavenly father not more than these? if he's able to cloth the beautiful lilies of the field which today is and by evening is thrown into the fire how much more his children...

in another scripture the Bible said if you evil fathers know how to give good gifts to your children how much more God who is loving compassionate caring and merciful, will he allow us to suffer?
moreso we are hunted by the fear of death and so many negative thoughts that seems to preoccupied our thoughts this teaching is very enriching and full of wisdom, remember Jesus already told us let your heart not be troubled believe in God believe also in me , he knows our feble nature, our weak frame we are only humans that's why the whole scripture is filled with God's promises to us, like he told Joshua be strong and very courageous because we would need that for the task ahead,
been a believer does not exempt you from tribulations rather they will come all negative forces of life will rise up against you but be strong and be of good cheer for Our savior has overcome the worl and has given us victory .
