Ever felt like you are living in borrowed time?

Question

Hey, so lately I've had this feeling that I'm living in borrowed time. I don't know why, but I have the feeling that my days are counted.
It happened when my mom asked me if I wanted to go to my country on vacation. I've wanted to go so bad for the past two months, but when she told me we could, I didn't know if it was the right choice. I has a weird feeling about going, I don't know why, like scared. (I was scared too because things may not go the way I want them to) and I don't know, I still have a weird feeling when I think about it. I think is a decision that can change my life and I really don't know why...
I think I may be going, I'm not sure yet. I want to go because I don't want to ask my self 'what would have happened if I went?' because I don't know when I'm gonna be able to go again...
Today I was walking in the street and I had the weird feeling that I may be living in borrowed time. I don't know why. And it's not creeping me out because of me, but because of my brother.
I don't know if it's just me being silly because I'll have to face things I may be scared of or is some kind of weirs precaution feeling :/
I know I sound crazy, but please if you know anything help me :(

Answer 1

This may relate. Forgive me if it doesn't.



When I was a kid I was taught that Jesus could come at any moment. Since my church went through preachers pretty quickly, I wasn't sure if this meant that Jesus would come back soon and rapture Christians out of the world then punish the world or just punish the world with the christians still on it.



So as a kid, I had a feeling of dread that Jesus would come back and throw the world into punishment. So I felt like there wasn't enough time. And in fact I was taught by my grandma that Jesus would definitely be back by the time I was 30.



So guess what happened when I turned 30? I freaked out. But nothing happened.



I'm 34 now and believe I was religiously screwed over by my church, my mom, grandmother. Instead of enjoying the time I was in I was dreading the time that was supposed to be coming.



Hope it's not that way for you.

Answer 2

Realistically, all of us are living on borrowed time. God is the giver and taker of all life. We don't know when that time will be up. You have to live your life and not be in fear of what's going to happen tomorrow. Jesus said don't worry about tomorrow because today has enough troubles of its own.



That being said, sometimes people do have a strange premonition about getting on a plane and things like that, but unless that feeling is really strong for you, try not to worry.



One of my favorite sayings is "Have no fear of what the future holds for God holds the future."



Nothing will happen to you unless God allows it. Your life is in His hands. There's a lot of comfort in that if you spend some time to think on it.



Is it possible that you are feeling anxious or worried about going for some other reason? Dealing with someone you haven't seen in a long time? Is the culture way different than here?



Try to think of any reason that you are having these feelings and if you come up with something, try to deal with it so you have a nice trip.



Wishing you a safe journey to and from your destination!

Answer 3

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

Creeps at this petty pace from the day to day,

to the last syllable of recorded time and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the path to dusky death.

Out! Out! Brief Candle!

Life is but a shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.

It is a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing.

Answer 4

Well, everyone's days are counted here. The day we're born, the countdown to our death starts. Every moment, every second we get closer to our death. There is no escape from death for anyone. What is born is bound to die.



If death is so imminent for everyone, what are you scared of? Don't get scared of anything. Everyone will die, some sooner, some later. As long as you live, live like a king. Fear nothing.



Do what your heart tells you to do.

Answer 5

I had a friend once, many years ago, who went to a psychic, a palm reader....who told her that she would die at the age of 40. It scared her, and she believed it.



She did die...but at the age of 60. Twenty years later.



No one lives on borrowed time. How can you "borrow time"? It is there, now. And when you die, you just die.



You cannot die '"before" it it time, how could you.?



You could live another 50 years or so. Who knows.?



All people think of death, at some time or another. But you cannot be born years before you are born, and you cannot die, years before you die....so how can you....'BORROW TIME??"
