• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hello. This is the first thread I have ever made here. I am worried that my sins are unforgivable. I know this is not true but I would like some reassurance. Everyday I pray that I can have forgiveness and I feel like I receive it. I feel like a perfectly clean towel after praying and very peaceful. But there is always a hole in my stomach that comes back from self doubt. When I was 14 or so I identified as a levytan satanist. I cannot spell it right because I do not want to look up up again out of fear. This means I did not believe in god or the devil I never participated in any worship or prayer that I can remember. It was really a bad form of rebellion to my parents a really regret. This only lasted for a few weeks and ive always looked back on it thinking it was cringe. Recently my faith has been restored I am going to a christian therapy but we do not talk about religion alot. Can I have some reassurance I can be forgiven? I pray with all my heart and I am deeply sorry for my sins. I have infinite gratefulness I have this second shot at having a good relationship with god. I was a believer for most of my life until the ages of 14 or 15 I cannot quite remember but my faith is back now. Also can someone recommend me some prayers? and also I was in another thread about someone anxiety and someone mentioned that sabertooth has good recommendations for churches/counseling I am also in Wisconsin so I might be able to go to the churches he recommends. Thank you for reading this and sorry for the blogpost.
Edit: I will be going to a church soon and going back to youthgroup

I can assure you that when you seek salvation for Jesus you have it, no matter how small the faith.

As for reassurance that you can be forgiven, you need to understand the power of the cross. The bible says:

Heb 9:27-28 We die only once, and then we are judged. So Christ died only once to take away the sins of many people.

This means that as we have one life, christ was offered once for our whole lifetime of sins, and mistakes.

1Jn 2:1-2 My children, I am writing this so that you won't sin. But if you do sin, Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us. Christ is the sacrifice that takes away our sins and the sins of all the world's people.

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Jesus' promise goes out to all without exception:
Repent and believe for the Kingdom of God is at hand!
Take heart and cast all your cares upon God your Father for He cares about you!

I did worse.

But I compare myself now and before and I see a lot of improvements, even though I never attempted to change myself. This reassures me it is the power of God and not because of my effort.

And this is the only assurance I have that God is working in me and that means He has already forgiven my sins in the past.

I am worried that my sins are unforgivable.

Only those who have rejected Jesus are unforgiven.

May I suggest two things.
That you investigate what Jesus went through in order to save you, learn the historical facts.
Dr g habermass and william lane Craig are two I would recommend you read, listen or watch.

second, rather than keep on asking for what you have that you spend that time thanking and praising God/Jesus for what he has done.
