Amen brother. That’s so encouraging to hear your faith. You’re absolutely right, God is in control and we don’t need to live in fear.
Sorry to hear about your loss of loved ones. It’s interesting how God communicates sometimes. I use to be really afraid of dying when I was young, but since I came into relationship with Jesus around 17 years ago, I now have hope and dying doesn’t bother me any more. But the main thing is that through life and death, our lives would glorify our Saviour.
