If we are fortunate enough to die of old age, perhaps we'll be patiently or eagerly awaiting what is on the other side, but one thing we can do right now is have faith. God has not called us to live in fear of anything else but Him, and even that biblical fear is a reverential attitude towards the Lord. Loving, acknowledging, and trusting in His majesty.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Are You Afraid of Dying? By Aaron D'Anthony Brown“In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2) The Greatest Fear I've been told that public speaking is a greater fear than death for most people. Perhaps that is true, but if you told someone they had to speak to a crowd or die at that very moment, my guess is that most people would stomach their discomfort and talk. They may fumble their way through the speech, but they would be alive. So many people enjoy being alive in the physical sense. But that enjoyment is fueled by a fear of what comes afterward. Does that describe you? Are you afraid of dying? I had a chat with a friend recently, and he spoke about his fear of death. Since he doesn't believe in Christ or an afterlife, he talked about how after we die, we cease to exist. Imagine that. It's true that most of us won't go down in history books. The people we know and love will also eventually pass away. Any memory of us will fade. Ostensibly, we vanish into nothingness. This image of death is rather bleak, and I imagine that's the case for anyone who doesn't believe in something more. For them, this life is all there is. Once it's gone, nothing awaits. However, the thoughts shared by my friend are not exactly unique. I know Christians who have been fearful of death. They avoid thinking about it as much as possible and focus on living life. Similarly, I, too, have, at different points in my existence, been afraid of death. However, God has not called us to live a life of fear. Not to death. In fact, God has given us reason not to fear death at all. Intersecting Faith & Life: Jesus conquered the grave. Perhaps the main reason believers should not fear death is the victory Jesus has claimed on our behalf. He died and was punished for our iniquities. The damnation that would have found us no longer will because of the sacrifice Christ made. If you believe in that sacrifice, then reaffirm your confidence that Christ has taken care of you. Death will find you, but Hell will not claim you. You are one of God's children. Scripture talks about Heaven. I remember talking to my mechanic about his near-death experience. He told me that he actually did technically die, but was brought back. Before that happened, he spoke of a field that he was standing in. He said he had never felt so much peace and that he didn't want to come back. That experience reassured him that Heaven is real. Now, I can't advocate for believing in people who talk about coming back from the dead and recount experiences Of Heaven or Hell. Maybe some of them are telling the truth. What we can say with certainty, however, is that the Bible makes mention of Heaven a few times. We don't get the full picture, but we definitely get hints. Jesus Himself talked about His father's house having “many rooms.” He's preparing a place for you and me. Maybe death will catch us by surprise, but not Jesus. God has not given you a spirit of fear. Whether you fear death, public speaking, or something else, God has not called us to live a life of fear. There's a reason that Scripture tells us over and over again not to be afraid. Two reasons, actually. One, fear is a natural part of our sinful nature. It's a consequence of not accepting what we can't control or understand. The second reason is that God wants us to know that he is bigger than our fears. Any fear. We stop panicking when we start trusting. Fear the Lord, not death. If we are fortunate enough to die of old age, perhaps we'll be patiently or eagerly awaiting what is on the other side, but one thing we can do right now is have faith. God has not called us to live in fear of anything else but Him, and even that biblical fear is a reverential attitude towards the Lord. Loving, acknowledging, and trusting in His majesty. When we do that, we realize that this life is meant to be enjoyed, but this enjoyment is but a fraction of what's to come. Heaven is real, and it is so much greater than this life.

Jai-Jagdeesh's journey as a singer began nearly 25 years ago, in a temple in India. Spending her formative years in Northern India - and traveling as a musical representative for Yogi Bhajan's foreign education program - set the foundation for a deep devotion to the sacred texts of the Kundalini yoga tradition & the Sikh faith. Between then and now, her innovative spirit has walked many artistic paths: actress, classical Indian dancer, photographer, and writer. With music at the forefront, she is effervescently expressive. Jai-Jagdeesh’s unique combination of sacred sounds and soulful authenticity continues to connect deeply with audiences as she records, tours, plays festivals, and gives vocal workshops around the world. Her debut album, 'I Am Thine', a combination of sacred mantras and powerful English lyrics, was released in the summer of 2011 to record sales and acclaim. Her second full-length studio album, 'Of Heaven & Earth', climbed up to #6 on Billboard's New Age Music chart within the first few weeks of its release. Her two Kundalini mantra meditation CDs, 'The Expansive Spirit' (2012) and 'Miracles Abound' (2015) are designed as practices, and are full of deep, transformative resonance. With ‘Down Come The Walls,’ a groundbreaking new studio album released in May of 2018, Jai-Jagdeesh continues to inspire great courage in fans around the world, opening hearts and uplifting spirits everywhere she goes.

For a full list of prayers available through this podcast and our website, please follow this link:  https://psalm71.podbean.com/e/full-list-of-available-prayers-1513057365/ NOTE:  This prayer has been recorded TWICE, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating.    The repentance and warfare prayer language of Psalms 79 and 80 has been conjoined, and augmented with additional scripture fragments, to create this powerful appeal to our Redeemer and the Lord of the Hosts of heaven. Thus we come boldly before the throne of grace, to obtain mercy; and before the Captain of the Armies of God, to petition for holy judgment.  The original text is taken from the KJV, but has been adjusted in modern expression. Additions are marked in capitals.   PSALMS 79 AND 80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest YOUR PEOPLE like a flock; thou that dwellest IN THE HIGHEST HEAVEN, THAT DWELLS IN OUR SPIRITS, shine forth.  Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.  YOU HAVE COMMANDED THAT WE BE FED with the bread of tears; YOU HAVE giveN US SORROWS AND STRUGGLES to drink in great measure.  Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.  Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.  How long, Lord ? wilt thou be angry for ever? FORGIVE US OUR SINS OF SELF-CENTERED AND CARELESS IDOLATRY. HOW LONG, LORD, shall thy jealousy burn like fire?  O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily REVIVE us: for we are BEING BROUGHT LOWER AND EVEN LOWER.  Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.  Thou hast brought YOUR CHOSEN PEOPLE out of THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS: thou hast cast THE DEVIL out OF HEAVEN, and YOU HAVE planted YOUR CHURCH.  Thou preparedst room before YOUR CHURCH, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it HAS filled the WORLD.  BUT WE HAVE BEEN WEAK AND FOOLISH AND GREEDY. OUR WALLS AND HEDGES HAVE BEEN broken down, so that WE HAVE BECOME EASY PICKINGS FOR OUR ENEMIES. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;  And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.  Let thy hand be upon the PEOPLE of thy right hand, upon YOUR CHILDREN whom thou HAVE COMMANDED TO BE STRONG FOR YOUR NAME'S SAKE.  TURN US, AND GIVE US PURE HEARTS AND CLEAN HANDS, AND will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.  Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. SEE, O God, THAT the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL HAVE INVADED thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have FILLED YOUR CHURCH WITH MOUNTAINS OF INIQUITY.  The dead bodies of thy MARTYRS have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.  O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?  Wherefore should the ENEMY say, Where is their God? Pour out thy wrath upon the ENEMY that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.  For they ARE DEVOURING THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE, and THEY ARE LAYING waste THE dwelling place OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT. LET THE LORD OF OUR HOPE AND THE GOD OF ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants, AND THE BLOOD OF INNOCENTS, which is shed BY THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW YOU. Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;  And render unto YOUR ENEMIES sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations, IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

Robert Herrick was a Cambridge-educated Londoner stuck with an out of the way vicarship in Devon. He wasn't a fan of rural life, but it was there that he wrote almost all of the poetry he's known for: the volumes "Hesperides" and "Noble Numbers," both published in 1648. This poem sets forth the content of Hesperides. I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers, Of April, May, of June, and July-flowers. I sing of Maypoles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes, Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal-cakes. I write of youth, of love, and have access By these to sing of cleanly wantonness. I sing of dews, of rains, and piece by piece, Of balm, of oil, of spice and ambergris. I sing of times trans-shifting, and I write How roses first came red and lilies white. I write of groves, of twilights, and I sing The court of Mab, and of the fairy king. I write of Hell ; I sing (and ever shall) Of Heaven, and hope to have it after all. bower - A place closed in or overarched with branches of trees, shrubs, or other plants; a shady recess, leafy covert, arbour. (OED) hock-cart - The cart carrying the last load of the harvest, usually decorated in celebration. wassails - Twelfth Night celebrations, basically big drinking parties. wake - a rural church festival, like a fete or celebration of a feast day. wantonnesse - Often a word for lasciviousness. Can also be naughtiness (of a child, for instance), or capriciousness. (OED) ambergris - The base of many perfumes (at least it used to be). You don't want to know where it comes from. Mab - queen of the fairies: she gives people dreams. We'd love to hear from you! Email your comments and suggestions to poetryalivepodcast@gmail.com.
