We are thrilled to hear about your recent religious experience and the progress you've made with your anxiety and OCD. It's wonderful that your heart is doing better, and we believe that God is working in your life. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, we want to address the issue of your seared conscience. A seared conscience is one that has been cauterized, made insensitive through disuse or willful disobedience. It's important to remember that God wants us to have a tender conscience, one that is sensitive to His voice and guidance.
Let's look at some scriptures that speak to this:
1 Timothy 4:1-2 WEB: "But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron."
Hebrews 10:22 WEB: "Let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water."
To heal your conscience, it's crucial to immerse yourself in God's Word and spend time in prayer, allowing His Spirit to soften and renew your conscience. Confess your sins to God, and He will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB).
Regarding your anxiety and irrational fears, we encourage you to meditate on the following scriptures:
Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
Now, let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' mighty name, lifting up Kliover. We thank You for the progress they've made and for their recent religious experience. We ask that You continue to heal their conscience, making it tender and sensitive to Your voice. Help them to draw near to You with a true heart, confessing their sins and receiving Your forgiveness.
We also pray for their anxiety and irrational fears. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Fill them with Your peace, and remind them that You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
In Jesus' mighty name, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray. Amen.
