I read in 1Peter1:6-7 and again in chapter 4:12 that there is a testing time which seems like a "fiery ordeal" to test or prove your faith.
I'm either going through that or I am already being judged for my sins. My prayer won't get through, I feel like I'm going to hell. In fact I feel like I'm already in it. My mind is OCD on religion and spiritual issues. It's focused on the Law instead of Christ, as much as I want it to be all about Christ (since He fulfilled the Law). I feel condemned so strongly my faith is so small and my nerves are ready to snap.
I also have a mental disorder (schizoaffective bipolar type) which could be playing a part in all this.
And my sins are over my head, as David writes in Psalm 38:4. Wow I'm reading the whole chapter of Psalm 38, and it applies to me. Maybe this is where I need to read from. It's just that I've felt this way for too long. Not a few weeks, or a few years, but for 22 years I've felt similar to this. My nerves are on edge.
