• 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.

I had so many thoughts about selling my soul and pledging allegiance to Satan even though I really don't want to I keep saying these things and they feel like my thoughts. Please, without telling me God knows I didn't mean it, could I be forgiven even if I did mean those things? I'm paranoid my heart may be traitorously evil and make me have meant it a little. I want peace with Christ but I'm terrorised. I cannot daydream like I used to all of the time and loud music drives me insane. I can't control my mind at all and I'm afraid I've condemned myself to hell for it.

I have the exact same thoughts and they're scary but I believe that even if you meant the thoughts (I don't think you do and neither do I) you could be forgiven because Jesus dying on the cross washed away our sins and if you place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ you will be saved and remember that God knows your heart and he loves you and the fact that these thoughts bother you probably means that they are not your thoughts. God bless and Jesus is Lord and he knows everything

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.


You've shown in many of your posts that you seek God. You seek his care, his love, his comfort, you seek righteousness and you seek his will.

You're not forsaken. The forsaken wouldn't care. You're not condemned.

Yeah I saw your post. I hope I don't completely lose my mind from this. *hug* I'll pray for you too, that we both come out of this

At the same time, couldn't you care without it being good? I've seen someone describe godly vs worldly sorrow as are you sorry you did it or sorry you might get caught/punished?

You're seeking God. Reflect on what it means to seek God, and know that it is exactly what you're doing. You've probably already found him, but you're still seeking which is a good thing and something we should all do - seek his face continually.

The condemned don't seek God. If they do have some form of fear, it's probably more or less in the back of their mind and something they tend not to dwell on and try to avoid.

Your fear is different. I have had your fear a lot in my life, exact same type of thoughts, many of us have been where you are. Read the Psalms. Memorize the Psalms, trust what they say.

I really like that new study bible I got, the excitement makes me get past some fear enough to read in it.


Edit: that seems random but I have a little hope is what I mean.
