Matthew 6:27
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
Christ to the multitude at his great Sermon on the Mount. How well he illustrates here the application of Ps. 139.16:
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
If God has ordained our days —and he has—then what good will it do to start worrying when they might end. The end is in God's hands (as well as the beginning and middle for that matter).
Christ enjoins us to live here in light of this grand truth. God controls all things, so stop worrying about when we might die.
