I’m just worried that I don’t believe

At the end of a difficult day is not a good time for self reflection or consideration of what you do or do not believe.

Just what do you believe and what don't you believe?

No I'm not being ' clever ', you say you are worried you don't believe, in the Bible, creation, Noah's flood, etc etc or is it you have doubts about Jesus, did he really exist, was the gospels written by people with bad memories, did Jesus really rise from the dead?

What don't you believe?

There is nothing wrong with having doubts and questions, so long as one is looking for answers.

Last thing, there is no set level of faith or belief required to be saved, you just have to have some belief and be obedient to Jesus.
John 10: 27-29 Jesus makes it clear that it is God the Father who has chosen who will be saved and that it is he, Jesus who holds on to those who are his.
You do not hold on to Jesus, he is holding on to you, and the quality and quantity of your or my faith does not matter.

I’m worried about something I believe got my belief is slipping slowly very slowly and very fast I was thinking of looking at testimonies and proof of Jesus maybe that would help but I could be two options I look at the proof I have a panic attack and I thought to get worse or I get my faith and believe how it used to be but I don’t know what to do I don’t want to give up I’m not going to it’s that I set an a little room all day and I stare at like the ceiling or on my phone looking for talking so I don’t know what to do in the situation should I look at proven testimonies or should I just wait I’m not at my parents right now foster care so should I wait until I go back or should I do it now or not do it at all

believe?

I feel like the esxt is what I’m having a problem with and heaven and hell that’s that’s why I think the problem is

 

[Tolworth John]

feel like the esxt is what I’m having a problem with

Sorry no idea what that is.

It is not us who generates or has faith, that is given by God in the amounts we act need moment by moment.

Trusting God when life is tough is very hard do hang on and trust him as much as you can.

When life is tough concentrat on the essentials.

When getting into a lifeboat one doesn't worry about what cloths one is wearing or about makeup, but about getting into the lifeboat.

Theology difficult to nderstan at the moment, concentrate on Jesus untill things get better.

Hey! It seems to me like you do believe in God! Why else would you be on this Christian forum asking for assurance of your faith? The Bible teaches that believers don't search for God. Since you are searching for God, that seems to indicate to me that you are a believer and you have genuine interest in your relationship with God.

It sounds to me that you have a fear of not believing in God. And it seems like that comes from your OCD. Try to separate yourself more from your OCD. Maybe give it a name so that you can think of it as something separate from yourself. If you could get some therapy, that would be great. Just know that it is your OCD causing you to feel this way, ok? I've definitely been through some difficult times with my OCD. But it will get better. Even if it doesn't seem that way now.

If you have specific doubts about Christianity, feel free to explore them. There are lots of apologetic websites out there that can help. But to me, it sounds more like you're dealing with OCD.

Blessings!

Well, maybe the idea of having a plan is putting too much pressure on yourself. Maybe just try to spend some time with God every day, even if it is only 5 minutes. Or even if you only read a paragraph of the Bible. Sometimes, if you just start reading or praying, with no goal in mind, you'll find yourself enjoying it and naturally spend more time with God.

Do you have a therapist/counselor you can talk with in person? That might help more. Or a pastor?

Are you able to meet with someone who can diagnose you? A therapist?

 

[Jesuslove70708]

I told him He didn’t care

Is there someone else you can talk to? It sounds like therapy would help you a lot. Sometimes we get confused in our OCD brains and need someone to work through it all with us.

 

[Jesuslove70708]

Other than Jesus not really

Other than Jesus not really

Can you call a church in your area and talk to a pastor or someone else who can help you? I met with a pastor when I was meeting with OCD and the church paid for some of my therapy sessions.

I hope you are able to get some help. I'm sorry you've been struggling so much. Hang in there. I know everything seems scary now, but your mind will begin to feel peaceful once you get help. Just remember that God promised never to leave you or forsake you. He is still with you. He sees you. And He cares for you a lot.

 

[Jesuslove70708]

lot.

Im
So de motivated I thought so people on the form other than that my pastor he doesn’t really call Other things I do I just sometimes join Bible studies but it’s hard to stick to a plan or anything
