At the beginning, Lincoln feared that the slave-states of Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland would join the Confederacy. (They all narrowly voted against.)
Next, he was worried that Britain would intervene on the Confederate side, with France likely to follow. (He was able to prevent this by declaring that it was now a war against slavery, which it hadn't been originally.)
In 1864, he feared that he would be voted out in the General Election. (Grant and Sherman started winning big victories just in time to restore his credibility.)
After the election, he worried about Sherman's march to the sea, when all the telegraph lines had been cut. (Sherman reached the coast on December 24th and linked up with the US Navy, sending Lincoln a friendly signal, offering him the city of Savannah as a Christmas present.)
As for his own assassination, he seemed not to be too worried about this prospect, even though he told some friends about a vivid dream that clearly foreshadowed it. (On the famous evening at the Theatre, he employed a bodyguard to protect General Grant, whom he had invited to the show, but when Grant cried off, the bodyguard was sent off-duty.)
