About this ebook
Those fears continued to grow. I wasnt able to control my thoughts. Each time I made a mistake I would wonder:
Do I need to say The Sinners 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

Preface
I grew up in a Christian home. I always believed God existed. I believed that God gave us His only Son, Jesus, who died and rose again to save us from our sins. I never doubted these things.
As an adult I began to grow in my faith. My husband and I were going to church on a regular basis. I was baptized. I was flying high! To be frank, you couldn’t shut me up about Jesus!
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.
I fought with this for several years. I thought my fixes
were the right things to do and that I was moving forward in my life. I didn’t realize I was digging deeper into a pit. One minute I’d find myself believing God’s word and the next I would be fearful that I wasn’t saved.
Finally, one day I asked the Lord for help. I was tired of being so full of doubt. I told Him I didn’t care what had to be done; I just wanted my thought life to be normal.
I started to read my Bible in depth. I
