Then one day a thought entered my mind. How do you know youre saved? When did you ever say The Sinners Prayer? I tried to tell myself these thoughts were nonsense and that I had nothing to worry about.

Those fears continued to grow. I wasnt able to control my thoughts. Each time I made a mistake I would wonder:

Do I need to say The Sinners Prayer?

Do I need to be baptized again?

Why did I think that? I know that is wrong.

Am I possessed? How could that be?

Very few people knew I was struggling with this. Those who did know were loving, supportive, and prayerful. Yet nothing they did helped me.

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Micah 7:8
