Post Crashing and Burning!!!!

Do you not get scared when you fly? After all there is often 60 gallons of highly flammable avgas less than a meter away from you.

I worry about this, I occassionally even lose sleep over it. What happens if I crash and burn? You either get cremated in the remains(which is thankfully a free cremation), or I get buried 6' under if you crash fast enough(which is thanfully also a free burial). What can I do about this fear?

Surely eveyone has it to a small extent? Can I ever be an airline pilot like this, I can't image being close to tons and tons of this fuel. I like flying as I feel closer to God, but will he be there protecting me in the danger zone, just a few feet away from the ground?

Please help me, I need something to help me sleep and fulfill my dream at the same time.
