I am trapped in sin and I dont know if I can win. I saw my mother pass away from covid and I just imagine she in heavens with my God. But for me I dont know. I am like a slave to the sin, dont know if I will ever be sure of my salvation. Life goes fast as a blink of an eye. I dont know how it will end, but I want to be saved. I dont want deceive God or make fun when saying something but keeping doing the same mistakes. Its strange. I want to be a better person. But I dont know how. I feel like I dont have strenght left.

I sometimes for the same. But just remember, God is loving and understands our problems. Pray that your problems will go away, someday they will. It has happened to me. I still do things that are against God and I know I shouldn't. It's hard, but you can do it. ❤️

I’m in the same spot right now. I had a good relationship with God throughout the summer and now it’s just ruined because of me. Idk if you Christian or not, but I’m Christianity we believe that we (followers of God) can’t overcome sin by ourselves. We can’t win, but Jesus can. All things are possible with God. Everything. All Christians just have to do is believe in Christ and trust him that he will set us free. It’s all very beautiful, I just wish I was a better Christian.

This is what I dont understand. We cant win by ourselves, but with Jesus we can, but what should we do when we are suffering temptation, just hold on and try not to sin? Thanks for the reply, God bless you

@Hoping for the best “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 So basically when you are feeling tempted get into the presence of God, or just welcome God into your room. Or you can open your Bible and read, listen to worship music. And remember to pray pray pray! I really recommend fasting because it really makes your spirit stronger. It’s not easy, especially in the moment.

@Hoping for the best And please don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall. We are not perfect and never will be. God doesn’t expect perfection from us. What matters if you try your best.

I think the fact that you are feeling like you will never measure up demonstrates that you care about honoring God. OCD attacks the things we care about - I understand this to a degree because I struggle with scrupulosity. Christianity is different because there’s no “+” for salvation - it’s just Jesus....admitting you’re a sinner and that He is Lord and that without Him you are hopeless. Good works are fruit that you bear...a demonstration of Christ’s work in you and the Holy Spirit working in you and through you. But, don’t listen to Satan and the OCD...you can’t ever earn your salvation and it’s evident that you desire to serve God. He knows your heart and if you’ve accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, you’re reconciled with the Father because of the death of Jesus on the cross. Don’t let OCD lie to you.
