Hi

I'm a new Christian. I got my first bible late last year and I'm making my way through it. I've been learning a lot online too. I'm loving learning everything but there's one thing that is holding me back. The bible says many times, do not fear. However everything I hear about the end times is terrifying. I can't help but worry for my daughter. About being able to protect her and provide for her. Everyone seems to think that we're in those times and I can't help but worry. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
First of all, may our Lord GOD bless and keep you and your family, and give you His protection
Amen.
Keep this with you: The content of the Bible is the Word of GOD, the Word of GOD is from everlasting to everlasting, understand? The Word is GOD-John 1:1, GOD Himself, the Father, self-executing, LITERALLY. Hebrews 1:1-3:-> 1 GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE of His Person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
That said, what matters and prevails is the pure Word of GOD, the bread of Life: JESUS said: John 6:29-35:
29 This is the work of GOD, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. 32...my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.33 For the bread of GOD is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And JESUS said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 5:39-40:-> Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life?
John 7:38-39 -> 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive..
But remember: Psalms 34:1-9
1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
JESUS is His prayer to the Father, said:John 17:11-17
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept them...
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Amen
