Video Game Question

Let’s say He did want me to stop playing games, and I go ahead and play anyway. What’ll happen then?

Your OCD is not going to like this answer: There's no way for me to know what will happen for sure. BUT I believe that He would find another way to show you. He is able to keep working on us, changing our hearts so that we desire what He wants. He's amazing like that!

So I’ve started back playing video games. I’m still a little nervous playing. I mean in general I feel fine with it, but a part of me feels like I shouldn’t be doing this after all this time. I don’t know.

Way to say no to the OCD! You are going to feel uncertain, but that's normal. Keep practicing NOT doing what the OCD wants you to do. As you practice, you will get stronger and your OCD will get weaker.

I know this is an old post, but I'm worried that me promising not to play games and then feeling afraid that I would prove my salvation false by playing them was me trying to earn salvation or prove myself to God or something. I'm scared that I'm not saved now or wasn't then because I tried doing that.

But you know what to do with this fear, right?
