in a few weeks I am to be going on my first mission trip. the problem is I am currently having serious doubts of my salvation and what my testemony is. I thought i was saved about 2 years ago but for the past few weeks now I feel as though I have no personal relationship with God and that im not grateful for the cross or that ive never seen God in his true glory. Ive been praying and reading the bible and I cant seem to find assurence of my salvation after 2 weeks of this.
pray for me that the holy spirit will lead me into truth and direct my path. I know that noone comes to Christ without the holy spirit drawing him. Pray that I will be led by his "still small voice"
I know what the bible says about Christ being the only way but im not sure if thats just my head knowledge or heart knowledge.
ive been discussing this with my pastor and things are coming together for this trip and I can share christ with someone even though my confidence in my own salvation is low right now. I feel so awful about going and being expected to preach when my faith is so shaky right now but ive concluded that saved or not if I end up there it is because God wants me there otherwise I wouldnt be able to go. ill expected to share my testemony and i have no clue what to say.
I have grown up in a christian family and have made proffesions of faith at various ages but ive never felt like ive had a true testemony, a true encounter of brokeness before Christ and recieved a true comforter in him. I know I cant will myself into a relationship with him but honestly each time I read his word or hear a sermon i think ok this is the sermon that will break me before God.
