So a while back I was in a really bad OCD moment of doubting my salvation and I think I might have promised God that I would never play video games again or something because I thought He wouldn't save me unless I gave them up or something. So for a while I didn't play games because I thought if I did it would mean I would lose salvation or that it would mean I wasn't truly saved. After a while, I figured that what I was doing was works based and legalistic, and I noticed that I began to return to inappropriate content again after giving up the games, I figured I could start playing again so as not to be legalistic and I thought it might help distract me from the inappropriate content. So I decided to start playing again. Anyways, right now I'm worried because I promised I would never play again (I think, it might have been for just a while at least, I don't really remember) and I'm playing again. Does that mean I'm breaking a promise to God whenever I play? I remember before I started playing again I kind of did some weird prayer talking to God about it, and I came to the conclusion that I could play again. But now I'm worried. Is that vow still in effect? Am I sinning by playing video games because of it?
