I was saved at age 15 of that I am positive, but lately I've been doubting my salvation. I keep telling myself we don't walk by our feelings but our faith but my life as been so disjointed lately with the death of my dear Mom and the pressures of life. I don't want to miss Heaven. Please pray for me!

Hi, Shoshie.

I am sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. Hopefully, she is now and forevermore with the Lord. Life's pressures are inevitable, but Christ can be our hiding place or our place of refuge from life's storms. As far as your salvation is concerned, cling now, more than ever, to Jesus Christ because eternal life is found in him. I will pray for you. God bless you.

Psa 32:6
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
Psa 32:7
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

I’m so sorry for the pain you're going through, especially with the loss of your mom but it's completely normal to have moments of doubt during difficult times. I'll be praying for you.

Absolutely! Those hard times will pass.

Psalm 30:5b His favor is for life. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes with the new day.

In my experience after moments of doubt comes a stronger faith.

God Bless You :)

Shoshie,
Christians should never doubt their salvation. However, please remember that every Christian remains a sinner. This is true even though our sins both past, present, and yes future sins as well were paid for at the cross.
Being forgiven does not mean we will never sin again! When we do sin, we must ask for greater strength and a heart that seeks to do only those things that please God.
Remember that the sanctification process will continue to take place throughout our life until Christ returns. Only then will He find us spotless and acceptable in His sight.

The only way to not miss heaven is to FALL IN LOVE WITH YAHUAH! Yahuah is in control always. He actually requires something from us! That we love Him first! What is the GREATEST commandment?
Deuteronomy 6:5 (NIV 1984)
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
The only way to do that is to "KNOW HIM". The only way to know him is to talk with him all the time!
Pray with out stoping! If you spend an hour a day in prayer He will meet you in the pray time and you will begin to know him in a way that you never have before. What do you do in an hour of prayer? Tell him you love him. Tell him thank you for his love! For his faithfulness. For his mercy! For his compassion! For kindness! For his correction!
Yes for His correction! He corrects those He loves. Come out of sin! Sin separates us from God! If we ask him to show us the sins that he wants us to come out of he will! Then our response is to STOP SINNING! When we stop sinning he comes closer to us and then... guess what? We can love him more. Then you want to come out of sin.
This is how we mature in Messiah! Loving Him and becoming like Him!

Father Shoshie to run after you with everything this person has! To make a choice to love you with all their heart, soul, mind and life force!!! Amen!
