Thank you, HT.

The message at our church service yesterday was about repentance. With a new year kicking off soon, it was reiterated on numerous occasions that without repenting the rest of the spiritual journey or practices for 2020 would be irrelevant and meaningless. We were told that repentance was not...

Thanks Mari. I requested to join the group. Looking forward to the support.

Thanks Mari17. I have read countless blogs, books, websites, etc. regarding Scrupulosity. However, if you have suggestions I will gladly take them. I could really use some relief from this agony.

Thank you fwGod. I am often plagued by thoughts that I am like King Saul or Judas instead of being like David. I have prayed Psalm 51 with all my heart several times to try to "prove" my sincerity. I certainly have anguish and anxiety--which to your point means I am not as hardhearted as...

Thanks Tolworth John. I unfortunately cannot afford a counselor and I know that would really help. I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. I have told God about all of it...several times. I just need to accept that He has forgiven all of it. Thanks for the encouragement.

I was diagnosed with Scrupulosity OCD eight years ago after a terrible bout of depression and anxiety over past sin. I am now facing a similar battle, only this time I am being tormented regarding the fact that I only have Worldly Sorrow and not Godly Sorrow. I have confessed many things to...

All the time. My salvation doubting/worry is the first thing on my mind as I awake, it remains with me all day, and I fall asleep thinking/crying/wondering/worrying about going to hell. I have asked God to save me hundreds of times in the last 30 years and never once have had peace about it...

This is a common hurdle that many Christians (myself included) face in their walk with God. You are not alone. For many Christians, doubts creep in and many times our desire for God fluctuates as we journey along. Several of Christ's chosen 12 disciples had doubts and fears and Peter even denied...

MuddSaw, how does one know if their "heart is right?" On dozens of occasions as a child and now an adult I have prayed similar prayers to the one you wrote. However, there was/is often a thought that I wasn't genuine or real so I continue on this cycle of trying to be sincere. I have never...

Thanks niceiceman. I have been to that Net-Burst Site but need to go back. And you are spot on about not reading other posts about non-scrup stuff. I have done that on that very site and that was a big mistake! Thanks for the Luke 18 reference. Reading this now I just realized that I feel...

Thank you Noah03. Praise God for revealing Himself the way He did to you. I love the fact that your experience was "the kind of thing that can change the course of a person's life." That is powerful! As I said to niceiceman, I am sorry you have had to face this but thankful that we are not...

Thanks for responding man. Your story is an encouragement to me. Sorry you have faced this as well but glad in the sense that I am not alone in this fight. You are spot on with the self-analyzing...its a terrible habit. I am reading "grace" books and books on "forgetting the past." As...

I was raised in an IFBC and clearly remember the circumstances surrounding what has been my pain and fear for 30+ years. As a 5 year old I heard a Sunday night sermon about hell and that night I was unable to sleep. I ran to my parents' room in tears with unbearable fear and begged my dad to...
