I fear for my son and the decisions he has to make in life.
I fear that I have not been the kind of mother I wanted to be. Peer pessure is so strong. Have I given him the inner fortitude to do what is right?
I fear falling in love with the wrong person or never falling in love again.
I fear becoming a bitter, angry old woman.

There are lots of things that most people are afraid of, like burning alive, drowning, getting killed in a car accident, getting crushed by something really heavy, etc. Some people won't admit it, but they do have that fear; who WOULDN'T be afraid of burning alive? Those are just shallow fears, if you know what I mean. I'm afraid of those things, but then I remember that I have Jesus in me. :) I'm still afraid (mostly of the pain that will likely occur) but I'm not AFRAID - not for my soul. My biggest underlying fear is that I'll for some reason forget about Jesus and have to spend eternity down under, but I pray every day and ask Him for guidance, so that fear goes away. :) I would never want to leave Jesus for any reason (not even if He doesn't want me to become a vocal music teacher).

Truely afraid of many things - but not of talking about them.
I'm afraid of being homeless, and or hungry.
I'm afraid of going to prison/jail.
I'm afraid of fighting, getting badly hurt.
I was afraid my son would forget me when he left to live in Costa Rica, (with ex/his mother) - but this turns out not to have happened! But it's still causes nightmares sometimes.
I'm afraid of not being any help to people - when chips are down.
Worst - is to be alone.
And a few others.

Absolutely! Some things are best left unsaid. One must go through being afraid while the situation is resolved without telling someone.

I'm afraid that when I stand before God ...Will He say well done thy good and faithfull servant.
Just a reminder to everyone answering.
What you fear will be the thing you focus your attention on. It will draw those things to you. I speak this to myself also. Remember Job; the thing I have feared the most has come upon me.

I'm afraid that the person i love doesn't love me back. If this person doesn't love me, I will have messed up one of the best things that ever happened to me for no reason. I really did lay it all on the line this time

I used to fear walking behind people on stairs and having them fart on me. I called it the stair farting phobia. I am so serious. Then it HAPPENED! My husband and I went on a cruise to Alaska and I got stair farted! It was actually really funny! But gross, but funny!
My deepest physical fear is that I will be burned in a fire and will have that horrible scarring. I'm so embarrassed of how vain I am but I really think I'd rather die than live with those scars for the rest of my life all over my face.
I guess you could say that my worst spiritual fear is burning too --- but thankfully I have Jesus, who took care of that for me! I *do* fear doing things for my own glory rather than His and getting to Heaven with regrets. I know that He will wipe every tear away ---but I'm not convinced that there will *be* no tears when we first get there and realize the ways in which we've wasted our lives. I guess those are my fears --- that I do things for myself and not for Him and that I waste my life.

I'm afraid I would not survive if anything terrible were to happen to my children. Did I say that out loud?

i have no problem telling ppl my fears...
i am very afraid that my hunny and i will spend the present working for our dreams and when it comes time to reap our rewards something will happen to either one of us and we'll be unable to enjoy it together (he drives a truck; we're apart for wks at a time in order to make the bills).

I'm not afraid. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world!
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
