Have you ever considered what you fear most? Most would say public speaking, but perhaps in broader terms, it's the matters of life and death themselves.
There is plenty for a believer to do while on earth: worship, working and waiting for the Lord's return are three broad categories in which our sanctification takes place prior to finding our home in heaven.
What do you do when your fears seem to be winning the day? What if you pray and God still hasn't come through for you? If you are like most people, you begin to lose hope, and you wonder why you bothered to pray in the first place.
