First of all there's far too much hype about Russia. While the nation has a formidable military it is not in any position to start a war with the west. If Russia's recent activities were being backed up by another powerful nation or two (say of China or Pakistan's size), then there could be cause for concern. By itself Russia can't take on the west. President Putin has complained about the west's efforts to bring former Soviet states under its sphere of influence. He doesn't like the idea of western missiles being positioned so close to Russia's borders. His actions in Ukraine are probably intended to create as big a buffer zone as he can from western interests. He might not stop there. The same kind of stuff might happen in other former Soviet states, but it's not about starting a war as much as it's about re-establishing some distance between western and eastern Europe.

Second, I understand how overwhelming anxiety can be. Although this sounds like a simple answer, there are things in life that we cannot directly influence by ourselves. Some of these things are bad. If we spend too much time and energy focussing on them we risk missing out on things that we can control. It's better to focus on you and your life. War might come again some day, but then again it might not. Tomorrow is going to happen for you regardless. Focus on what is best for you today and tomorrow and let things that are out of your control happen as they will. The more time and effort you put into yourself now the better prepared you'll be for anything down the road.

You're young and you have a great long life ahead of you. Just focus on your life and you'll be fine.

Don't worry about things that you can't change or need to get too involved in do the things a 15 year old should be doing and have fun with your friends and read and do things that make you happy.

I doubt we are headed for wwIII but the world is in a sad state unfortunately..

Let your Doctor know what bothers you.

This is nothing new; in the 70's and 80's Russian planes used to always "test" our responses etc to their incursions. My friend's brother in law was in the RAF then and he used to tell us this sort of thing happened nearly every day.

There's absolutely no point in worrying about things you can do nothing about is there? Concentrate on things that concern you that you can do something about.

It seems to an old wheezer like me that you (your friends or anyone else who you may know) is more likely to die, or be critically injured texting on your cell phone while crossing a walkway into the path of a car driven by a bloke who is texting his girlfriend at the very same time.

So seize the day, and enjoy life to the fullest and leave the nutcase politics out of your life.

No, there's no way there will actually be a world war that results from Republicans and Russia, lol. Stop worrying.

WW3 will happen sooner or later. Just live everyday like its your last. Tell the people in your life you love them everyday. Enjoy your freedom now it will not last forever. Every major superpower in history has fallen America is no exception.

If ww3 starts I hope Russia wins, or it just doesn't even happen

Develop Your Heart to Fear God (Jehovah)

“If only they would develop this heart of theirs to fear me and to keep all my commandments always.”―DEUTERONOMY 5:29.

FEAR has haunted mankind for centuries. Fear of hunger, disease, crime, or war keeps millions of people in constant anxiety. For this reason the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights expresses the desire to bring about a world where all humans will enjoy freedom from fear.* Happily, God himself assures us that such a world will come―although not by human efforts. Through his prophet Micah, Jehovah promises us that in his new world of righteousness, ‘no one will make his people tremble.’―Micah 4:4.

2 On the other hand, fear can also be a positive force. In the Scriptures, God’s servants are repeatedly urged to fear Jehovah. Moses told the Israelites: “Jehovah your God you should fear, and him you should serve.” (Deuteronomy 6:13) Centuries later Solomon wrote: “Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13) Through our witnessing work, carried out under angelic supervision, we likewise urge all people to “fear God and give him glory.” (Revelation 14:6, 7) In addition to fearing Jehovah, Christians must love him with their whole heart. (Matthew 22:37, 38) How can we love God and at the same time fear him? Why is it necessary to fear a loving God? What benefits do we derive from cultivating godly fear? To answer these questions, we must first understand what the fear of God means and how this type of fear forms a fundamental part of our relationship with Jehovah.
