I’ve been struggling a lot with worrying whether or not I’m really saved, and it’s caused me near constant anxiety. I’m aware that we all have shortcomings (and always will), but I can’t shake the fear that my shortcomings could be damning. I struggle to see God as loving, to want holiness, and to feel that I truly hate sin. Could some of this be anxiety? There are times when I feel great and encouraged, but the moments of clarity I have are quickly distorted. I can’t seem to rest in Christ for more than a few days. Might that be the fact that my anxiety makes me overthink everything and gives me too much pressure to be sure I believe in “the right way?”
