"And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. 28 So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ." (Colossians 1: 27-28) Father ask for all who doubt their salvation even though they have confessed their sins, looking to You daily. Please make clear the reason whether fear of the Lord-You, or a fear that causes them to freeze holding back from boldness in sharing faith, may there be movement forward in their purpose You have placed them on this earth for, doing good for Your Glory and Praise in Jesus Name Amen.
those doubting salvation....
We come before the Lord with heavy hearts for those who are wrestling with doubts about their salvation, even after confessing their sins and seeking Him daily. This is a battle many believers face, and we must address it with both truth and compassion, for the enemy delights in sowing seeds of uncertainty where God has already planted assurance.
First, let us affirm what Scripture declares: salvation is not earned by our works or maintained by our feelings, but by the finished work of Christ on the cross. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have truly repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you *are* saved—regardless of how you feel in any given moment. The Holy Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:16). Doubt does not negate this truth; it is an opportunity to press deeper into God’s promises.
Yet we must also examine the root of these doubts. Is it a holy fear of the Lord—a reverence that drives you to live in obedience and pursue holiness? Or is it a spirit of fear that paralyzes you, keeping you from stepping into the purpose God has for you? Scripture tells us, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7). If fear is holding you back from boldly sharing your faith or walking in the good works God has prepared for you (Ephesians 2:10), we must rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus. Fear is not from God, and it has no place in the life of a believer who is secure in Christ.
To those struggling, we say this: salvation is not a feeling—it is a fact. Jesus Himself declared, "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24). If you have believed in Him, you *have* passed from death to life. The evidence of salvation is not in your emotions, but in the transformation of your heart and the fruit of the Spirit in your life (Galatians 5:22-23). Do you love God? Do you desire to obey Him? Do you grieve over sin? These are signs of a regenerated heart, not of a lost soul.
But let us also address those who may be clinging to a false assurance. If your life does not reflect a pursuit of holiness, if you are willfully living in sin without conviction, or if you have never truly surrendered your life to Christ, then your doubts may be the Holy Spirit convicting you. "Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or don’t you know as to yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified" (2 Corinthians 13:5). True salvation produces a changed life. If there is no change, there may be no true faith.
We also must confront the lie that doubt is incompatible with faith. Even the father of the demon-possessed boy cried out to Jesus, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24). Doubt does not mean you are lost; it means you are human. But we must not let doubt define us. Instead, we must preach the gospel to ourselves daily: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). We are justified by faith alone, and nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39).
To those who are frozen in fear, we say: step out in faith. Share the gospel with someone. Serve in your church. Use your gifts for God’s glory. Obedience is the antidote to doubt. As James writes, "But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves" (James 1:22). Faith without works is dead (James 2:17), but works born of faith bring assurance.
And to those who are truly saved but struggling, we remind you: Christ lives in you. You are not alone. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you (Romans 8:11). You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), and God is faithful to complete the work He began in you (Philippians 1:6). Your salvation is secure not because of your performance, but because of His promise.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of those who are wrestling with doubts about their salvation. Lord, we know that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, and one of his most effective tactics is to plant seeds of uncertainty in the minds of Your children. But we declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of fear and doubt in the name of Jesus and command it to flee.
Father, we ask that You would reveal to each person the truth of their salvation. If they are truly Yours, give them the assurance that comes from Your Holy Spirit. Let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are Your children, not because of what they have done, but because of what Christ has done for them. Remind them that salvation is a gift, not a reward, and that You are faithful to keep them until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).
For those who are living in disobedience or who have never truly surrendered to You, we ask that You would bring conviction—not condemnation, but conviction that leads to repentance. Break their hearts over sin and draw them to Yourself. Let them see that apart from You, they can do nothing (John 15:5), but in You, they have eternal life.
Lord, we also pray for boldness. For those who are frozen in fear, give them the courage to step out in faith. Let them not be ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). Use them to share Your love with others, that more may come to know You.
And Father, for all of us, remind us that our purpose on this earth is to glorify You and enjoy You forever. Let us not be distracted by doubt or fear, but let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). May we walk in the good works You have prepared for us, doing everything for Your glory.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is in His name that we have access to You, Father, and it is through His blood that we are made clean. Thank You for the gift of salvation, and thank You for the assurance we have in Christ. May we live as people who are confident in Your love and secure in Your promises.
Amen.

We're here for you, dear friend. We understand the struggle of doubt, even after confessing sins and seeking Jesus daily. It's like walking in a fog, unsure of where we stand with God. But remember, our salvation is not based on our feelings or even our actions, but on what Jesus has already done for us on the cross.
Let's cling to the truth that "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). This is a promise we can hold onto, regardless of how we feel.
Now, let's examine the root of these doubts. Is it a holy fear that drives us to obey God, or is it a paralyzing fear that keeps us from stepping into the purpose He has for us? Let's rebuke any spirit of fear that's not from God and claim the power, love, and self-control He's given us instead (2 Timothy 1:7).
To those struggling, we say: salvation is a fact, not a feeling. Jesus said, "Most certainly, I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24).

If your life doesn't reflect a pursuit of holiness, if you're living in sin without conviction, or if you've never truly surrendered your life to Christ, your doubts might be the Holy Spirit convicting you. Examine yourself to see if you're in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5).
We must also confront the lie that doubt is incompatible with faith. Even the father of the demon-possessed boy cried out, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24).

Let's pray together, dear friend. Let's ask God to reveal the truth of our salvation, to give us assurance, and to break the chains of fear and doubt. Let's ask for boldness to step out in faith and share His love with others. And let's remind ourselves that our purpose here is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We're in this together, one step at a time, one prayer at a time. Let's trust in Jesus, our Savior and our strength.
