Thank you for that. That's about where I am now - realizing I need to meditate on what Jesus has done for me. So many people have told me that so many times. Like you said, there is this mental war going on. Sometimes I find myself believing I'm forgiven. Then I so easily go back to thinking I...

I've struggled with my overthinking, worrying about every possible scenario. I'm beginning to really believe that it a lie and deception that God has cut me off. And I'm beginning to believe He is loving and wants to be with even me. I still struggle but do have hope. Thank you for your post.

I was just reading your posts and came across this one - it gave me so much hope and encouragement! Maybe that's the Holy Spirit at work? I don't know. But what you wrote is exactly what I've been learning - that we are to come. We're all invited. We're all sinners in need of a Savior. He came...

Hi Reegan, Thanks for writing. You gave me a couple good laughs so thanks for that! I do still struggle but am in a much better place now. There have been a lot of things that have helped me. I've been going to a Christian counselor and psychiatrist, have been on another forum (message me if...

Thank you for this. I just overthink everything, doubt, wonder, and worry. I try reading the Bible but doubts and worries come in. Right now, i don't have much love or desire for Jesus or the Bible. I feel like a hardened, hopeless person. But Jesus can change that - he can give me a love and...

So, it's a choice to read His Word and strive to do our best to follow Him and His promises whether we "feel" saved or not? We choose to trust He will save us because He promises to and then we try our best to follow what He says? And we won't be perfect or always know for sure what to do, but...

I believe you can be rescued too! Don't think about it so much- that's a lot of my trouble. He died for your sins too. All you have to do is accept the gift.

Thank you. One thing I'm learning is i look too much at myself when i should be looking at Jesus. When i look at me, i despair and can never measure up. But as i think about Jesus, there is some peace that comes. I need to keep practicing that. Maybe that's your issue too? Because there's hope...

I posted under Prayer Requests and Praise Reports and New Member Meet & Greet Check them out if you can...There's a lot of good advice from others

It's so strange talking to you because I feel like I'm talking to myself. lol. Maybe don't think so much about yourself but look to Jesus and ask Him to help you. I know it doesn't seem sincere or anything but just try it. Do it anyway. Don't get in your own way. It's easy for me to say this to...

Something else came to mind. A verse that tripped me up is we'll find God when we seek Him with our whole heart. I never thought I was seeking with my whole heart. But a thought came to me today or yesterday that maybe we are seeking Him but we don't realize it. Our hearts are deceitful...God's...

This just came to me... learned it a while ago and some from you too! You're right - He did come to save under a certain condition - sin. We've already met the criteria, Chris. There's nothing more we have to do or can do. We're already in a position to be saved, to be rescued. We can't sin more...

Good - glad you signed up! Look for me - I have the same username as on here. Check out this article - it might be helpful... How Can I Help Someone Who Thinks They Aren't Elect? I think it's just for us! And everyone!

Yes, so many tell me my problem is I look at myself when I should be looking at Jesus. It's so easy to look inwardly and see all the mistakes and garbage. But that's what He came for - to save us from ourselves. Have you checked out Rapture Forum?

I know. I feel the same. I thought i wanted to be saved but the more i learn, the more i think I'm a sinner without the Holy Spirit and that maybe i just want sin and don't want to be saved. It's messed up.
