anybody else?

it seems that i get these really awful feelings insde a lot, and i cant think of any unconfessed sin that could be causing it - and i pray that God would take it away, or show me the reason behind the feeling. i get so frustrated because i dont understand it, and so i cant fix it.

does anybody else ever have this happen to them? if so, what was the cause? i really need to figure this thing out!

Yes!!! and it's almost always unconfessed sin, for me anyway.

I get to feeling grumpy and self-righteous, then the Lord finally convicts me, and when I confess, I feel better.

If I don't feel better, I go take a nap. It often means I feel tired.

Depends on what kind of awful feelings.

 

[ZiSunka]

Sometimes it's not new sin you just did. Sometimes it's old sin.

Like, I was feeling really bad and depressed, and couldn't get over it. And eventually the Lord brought to mind a very old, but hurtful sin.

When I confessed, the bad feeling started to go away. It took time, though, because the sin had been with me a long time and it had taken hold in my heart.

Maybe you were doing something that techinically isn't sin. but isn't healthy, either, like looking at an R-rated movie, and that's bothering you. If you confess it, it loses its power over your feelings.

thank you so much for your reply lambslove!

i will definately pray for God to show me any old unconfessed sins. right now im leaning towards God telling me He's not exactly number one in my life - at least thats what i think right now. sheesh, i know God wants me pure so me and Him can get closer, and i definately want to get closer to God, just wish these feelings had a clearer crisper meaning, if that makes sense.

thanx for the replies, much Christian love!

I get that feeling now and then, It's hard to pin it down sometimes though, I generally start praying when I get it. I think most of the time for me it's more of a warning about things that have not yet happened.

Here's an example of one incident when this happened to me.

While going on a trip my husband and I were driving down the freeway, I got a real bad uneasy feeling in my gut. I felt like I wasn't safe for some reason, I prayed that God would keep us safe, and not allow us to get into any accidents. No sooner did I finish praying my husband got in the wrong lane, and we ended getting lost on the freeway. We ended up in a small town, and stopped at store to grab something to drink. We then made our way back to the freeway, and when we got back on it we passed up an extremely bad accident. I really feel had I not prayed, and had we not gotten lost at the time we did, we would have been part of that accident.
