Hi! im a new member to this site but have been reading posts from it for a long time. I could read posts from my phone but could not sign up from my phone, but now im back online with a computer. I am really struggling with my faith and salvation. I used to be the most easy going person you would ever meet and seldom let anything really get me down. Even when i would doubt my salvation it would last a few days and i would get my mind off of it. I have asked Jesus thousands of times to save me (no exaggeration), one time when i was 14 really sticks out to me as the time i may have truly been saved, but not long after, the doubts started again and i went back to asking again and again. Seven years ago i thought i had something bad wrong with me and i had to wait 3 months before i found out i was ok. But something happened to me in those 3 months that has changed me ever since. I had severe doubts about being saved and i began to feel as if God was nowhere to be found, i felt so hopeless and alone. I didn't know it at first but i was beginning to feel real depression for the first time in my life and did not know why i couldn't snap out of it. I would sit and cry for hours and plead with Jesus to save me but i felt completely faithless. Ever since then I have cycled in and out of depression because i would start worrying about my salvation. I found out a couple of years ago that i may have ocd when i looked at a website and read the symptoms. I will do good for a while and think everything is ok and then i will read something about salvation and the questions begin again. I want so bad to know im saved and rest in it but i question whether i really believe. I ask Jesus to save me but feel like he isn't before i ever finish praying. I really need advice, please!
