Life is beautiful. But I sometimes feel worry about my life in the future. I scare that I can't buy an own house. I can't earn enough to feed my children. I scare poor, I scare illness etc... How are you? Have you ever worried about life in the future?

Many that I fear about my future life, and also the future of my family. If I think about it, I became very stressful. I do not know, the future is like what, which is owned by me, and my family. I can only try my best, and as I could, to create a better future.

I really hope, my future and my family's future will be good. However, I still always worry, because there was not much I can do, for our future.

Oh yes... like all the time. I sometimes scared of losing all the things I have and I tend to worry about how will I make a better living. It is more about money matters. It is hard to save nowadays unlike before and I can really feel that I could get broke soon if I stop working. I am scared that I am not able to help my family in years to come because I need to attend on my own financial problem. I am scared too. But you know I still have fauth and I believe that everything will just turn out right. I let God to decide about my future and I am just here to hassle for my dreams and do my very best to be successful. Happy Lotting!

I'm more worried when I die. I should have made my dreams come true before dying and leave a legacy, even among the circle of people I know. Since I'm not that old yet (O.o), I worried about whether what will happen 5 years from now.

Yes, I think it is because I don't have a stable income right now. If I had, I will never worried anymore mostly things like married and own house because I have my own money.

Oh, my friend. I'm having a stable job and a stable income now. But my income is few. I need more to solve many problems of my life. I hope that you can find a stable income in the future. And you can change to worry about another problems of life

I try not to think about the future. If I do I will worry about it and there is nothing I can do to change it. I have a progresive disease and when the time comes that I need to be in a wheelchair all of the time, I will have to move. My house is too small to get around in a wheelchair, and there are a lot of steps. I also worry about not being able to drive. My driveway is 175 feet long, and the only way I can get the mail is to drive up. Plus the loss of freedom that being able to drive gives you. I live alone so it would be hard to get around. I have no children to drive me around or anything. I feel there is no sense in worrying about something you can't change, so I just try not to think about it.

It is normal to worry about the future. Uncertainties always make us worry. But we should not be worried. If I may quote the bible it says, "therefore I tell you do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow? They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these."

When we're worry about any things, we can say them to our God. I till do this. But I also look for the ways to solve the problems of life. I never sit a place to only worry.

Of course, as a mom I do worry a lot. Especially for my kids' future. I worry if I can get them to a good school and if I can raise them to be good kids/citizens. There's a lot of things to worry about, but as long as you trust that God will help you out, you will feel that you are not alone. There's help if you will just ask for it. And God said that we should not worry about tomorrow. So live one day at a time and put your worries behind. After all, your future is the product of your today.

I do worry at times about my future. I am a single mom and the worry that we're never going to own a home worries me. I am so tired of living in a apartment. I have a hard to keeping work cause of my disability so I worry if I don't get some kind of extra income that our future don't look so bright. I want to move but I know at the right I am going that will probably not happen. Life sure is tough. I try to remember the saying live one day at a time. That's really hard to do when your on a fixed income in a expensive tiny town.

I did scared of my future when i was single. Now i have my own family and the life goes as it is. What i have now is the end result of what i was before. I think what we should do is to equip ourselves for better life or future....study well to get better occupation, decide on a good partner to depend on. Nothing to scare of if you are well prepare for the future.

But how much repairing is enough for the future? I think that we was born to live, not repairing to live. Therefore, If we have some repairing, we'll be in more secure about our future.

Hello friend! Life is something to be enjoyed. Every minute is a gift and every day is something new in which we learn and earn experiences! But, as humans, the hope of tomorrow along with it brings the fear of the future! No doubt everyone worries about the future. But we need to make sure that the worries doesn't kill the happiness of the today's life! Future is just a hope which could be true or not, but today is a fact and we need to concentrate on today than tomorrow! Good day!

Maybe you're right. I hope that I can have many things in the future. So, I scare that I can't reach to them. Then, I feel fear about future. But If we don't dream, we won't have target to reach. I think that I'll think about future fewer in the next time.

Sometimes I do worry about my future. I feel as though I'm getting older but nothing is being accomplished. I guess it's true that you are your own worse critic. I think that focusing on the things we don't have some how out way the things we do. We often forget to enjoy what life has brought us, instead of what we think we should have. If it is meant to be, then it will be. Great post..

I do not worry about life in the future at all. In fact, I am more excited than ever about the future. I am excited for whatever technological and medical advances we will have in 30 years. I hope many sicknesses and diseases will be taken care of by then. I don't think cars will be flying yet, but I am sure the future will be very advanced and exciting.

You're very optimistic about future. You're right that life will be more better and better. But that is general. I want to say my life. There are many difficulties at present, so I feel worry about future.
