Then one day a thought entered my mind. How do you know you’re saved? When did you ever say 'The Sinner’s Prayer?' I tried to tell myself these thoughts were nonsense and that I had nothing to worry about. Those fears continued to grow. I wasn’t able to control my thoughts. Each time I made a mistake I would wonder: • Do I need to say 'The Sinner’s Prayer?' • Do I need to be baptized again? • Why did I think that? I know that is wrong. • Am I possessed? How could that be? Very few people knew I was struggling with this. Those who did know were loving, supportive, and prayerful. Yet nothing they did helped me. 'Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.' Micah 7:8 3
