I am 63 years old and lately I’ve been waking up with anxiety and fear of death. I know Jesus died on the cross for me and he loves me but I feel so alone and abandoned. I feel as if he doesn’t hear my prayers or doesn’t really care because I’m a sinner and I still send even though I know he died for me. I have depression and sadness and loneliness and I’m feel so lost and alone. I just want to be me again and I just don’t know what’s going to happen when I do die? I know I’m supposed to go to heaven but what if? I’m just have this weird frightening anxiety I just can’t shake. Please someone help me.

I thank you God for giving the privilege of praying for you, I pray that the father in heaven will enlighten you to find ways to feel better and restore you fully. God is good and is quick to forgive, he calls to repent of our sins and confess to him and he will give us peace and will assure us of being forgiven. Even though we sin every day, since we are not perfect, He paid the price for our sins and cleanses us with his blood, I ask the father to guide you and to teach you to submit to his word and find joy in obeying his word. I ask God also that he will show you to enjoy his presence, seek him in prayer and in his word. Seek also a community of believers so that you will be encouraged and find joy in fellowship, in his son’s name, I pray, amen,

Friend, thank you for sharing your heart. You are not alone in what you’re feeling. Many people who love Jesus deeply still battle anxiety, fear of death, and seasons where God feels far away. Feelings can be overwhelming, but they are not the final truth about you.
God’s Word says:
• “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
• “Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38–39).
Your salvation is not based on how strong you feel today, but on what Jesus already finished on the cross. You’re not abandoned. You’re not unseen. You are loved.
Let me pray with you:
"Father in Heaven, I lift up Your child to You right now. You see every tear, every fear, every lonely night. In the name of Jesus, I speak Your peace over their mind and heart. Calm the storms of anxiety and silence every lie that says they are abandoned. Remind them that Jesus’ blood is enough—that their sins are forgiven, and that You hold them securely in Your hand.
Lord, wrap them in Your presence tonight. Let them sense Your nearness in a new way. Replace fear of death with the hope of eternal life in Christ. Remind them that because Jesus rose from the dead, they have a sure and living hope that will not fail. Give them rest, joy, and the assurance that when their time on earth is done, they will be with You forever.
Strengthen their mind, lift their depression, and send people into their life who will walk with them, listen to them, and encourage them. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen."
Please don’t carry this alone. It’s okay to ask for help and support—spiritually, emotionally, and practically. The Mavis J. Wanczyk Foundation was created to help people in deep need of hope and assistance. I encourage you to visit their website and see the support that is available to you:
Reach out there and let others walk with you. You are precious to God, your life matters, and this dark season does not have the final word over you.
