You're thinking about dying, and at times that is a scary thought until you put things into their proper perspective. Death is a natural transition from one form of existence to another. Right now you're living in a corporeal (physical) body; after death however, you'll exist in spiritual form...in that way, the essential you never dies, you just outgrow the shell. You've been dying everyday of your life since the day you were born, it's just that up until now, your physical body has been able to adjust and contain the growth. Hair, nails and skin die repeatedly so you can make room for new growth, cells replenish themselves constantly throughout most of your life, and when you outgrew baby teeth, they fell out and died so that your permanent teeth could adjust to the rigors associated with having an adult body. All of this death occurred mostly without notice, but you're quite obviously different than you were when you were a baby. It was a scary journey at times, but by and large you got through it just fine. One day in a similar manner it will be time to shed this shell and become spirit, and you can no more fearfully hang around in avoidance of that fact than you could have stayed in your baby crib for fear of the outside world. Heaven therefore, is the destination for believers who have accepted the salvation offered by the Creator. It's perfectly natural, and maybe a little bit scary, but as you age, your peace with this concept will deepen and you'll feel more internal oneness with everything. I don't profess to understand it all (no one does), that's the challenge of faith. But I know God doesn't make mistakes, and He would not have created all of the wonders you are to just cast them aside one day like rubbish. What would be the point in that? You're going to be just fine, and one day you'll be explaining this very subject to someone else. Do you know how I know this? Because one day someone explained it to me. Be well.

Hello. I'm sorry to hear you are scared. From your question, you sound young, If you are, than that will give you an earlier start to ask God about it. If not, that's okay. Heaven will be for eternity and that's short compared to any number of years we may live.
Prepare for eternity by praying to God...ask Him to show you the way and what he had planned for you to do in this life.
Heaven is mysterious because God tells us in the Bible we cannot possible understand. He says that no eye, nor ear, etc. can understand what He has in store for those who love Him. It is beyond our comprehension.
I'm looking forward when I am called to the heavenly home...it is promised that we shall see God, and there shall be no more tears. That means no more suffering, fears, illness. There we shall really celebrate all that is good and be protected from evil forever.
This is very basic.
Pray to God, even if you never have. Tell Him of your anxiety and the stress it causes you. If a Bible is too hard for you to understand, ask God to help you or ask Him to have some one please come in to your life or get the correct reading materials to you so that you may know the Truth. You can tell Him, ask Him anything and in some way and at the right time, He will answer your prayers if you are truly seeking His will in everything.
I am not perfect by any means and I get afraid at times too and worry about people, issues, things, etc. I go back to God to have Him give me the peace or directions I need to continue. He may not take everything you dislike away, but He will walk you thru it if it is necessary to Glorify Him and draw you closer to Him. We are told His Love is Unconditional. That is hard for us to grasp at times. That's one of the reasons He is God. Also He tells us He is full of Mercy and Kindness.
Go to Him in prayer and ask for the help you need. And take time to be still to listen to Him. Many people don't find a quiet space or some time to be alone with God.

:) why worry so much about that right now? do what u can to live a Good life right now, in this time.
here's what i learned recently from bible study.. Romans 5-8. once i truly accept Jesus Christ as my savior, i am Justified. i am Not guilty, of any past, present, or future sins. therefore, i Know i am going to heaven. not because i follow the rules and i am SO GOOD... but because i admit that i am Not perfect, but thru Jesus i am clean. i will go to heaven when i'm ready. until then, what i need to do is take care of my life here on earth. i rejoice in the love that Jesus has given me, to open my eyes and learn that i CAN do the right things in life, i Can choose the righteous path again. even tho i made mistakes! even tho i sin! even tho i will sin again! I am already forgiven...so i am allowed to live my life as full as possible. and u know what? i CHOOSE to do the best i can, to be the best i can be, to do as much good as possible while i am here. not so people will think i'm "good Christian". i do it for myself. because it makes me happy...and because i want o share what i've learned, and hopefully they can make a change in their lives to see the Good they can do. they don't have to believe what i believe, but i want to just be able to tell my story and be a happy, positive person. :)

Why don't you research different religions and see what's up? Maybe you're afraid of death because the answers you're accepting now aren't the ones you truly believe.

Don't be afraid of what will be. God has plans for us. In heaven you will have no stress, no worries, you will live in a palace, be at peace with everything.

Death is inevitable for every one of us. No use worrying about it. Live your life here, and live it well. What comes afterwards is outside of your control.

I'd say you should click on that little button that says "Check Spelling".
Other than that, do as you will, you've got to live with the consequences.
