Hello, I have a question regarding my mental illness. I'm on meds for it but recently was switched to something else. Without it, I am in mental torment and pain and fear if I have committed the unpardonable sin. Judas who betrayed Jesus suffered mental torment when he betrayed Jesus and committed suicide right? It's so scary. I don't know if my mental torment is spiritual or just mentally sick. I've been reading and memorizing bible verses and found this list:
Psalm 39:9- I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is You who have done it.
Jeremiah 15:17-19= I sat alone, because Your hand was upon me, for you have filled me with indignation. Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
Psalm 88:6-7= You have put me in the depth of the pit, in the region dark and deep. Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you overwhelm me with all your waves. Read verses 13-18.
Jeremiah 15:18= Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
Psalm 130:1-2- Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
Psalm 40:1-4= I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me and heard my cry. He pulled me out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.
Psalm 119:67=Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep your Word.
Psalm 119:17= It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
I found encouraging verses such as:
2 Corinthians 4:17- For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, esv
Romans 8:18- For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!
1 Peter 1:3-9 on suffering and there's more but I'll stop there.
I know Scripture memorization helps. The book that inspired me to do so is called, 100 Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart, by Robert J Morgan. Just 50-55 pages tells why we should and his stories and illustrations greatly encourages and inspires me to do so before he shares the 100 verses.
But I had a medication swapped which made my illness worse before my doctor corrected that. So I'm feeling stuck if my suffering is mental or spiritual and it's awful not knowing which and if I'm saved or not.
