[Big Low]

Hi everyone

I struggle with Anxiety, and last week I had an intrusive thought to say outloud 'I Sell my Soul to the Devil'. I did say this outloud as I thought it would mean I could stop thinking about it. I do not want to sell my soul.

I have been worrying all week that I actually sold my soul, and that any good things that happen in my life may only be because I sold my soul. I have prayed for forgiveness but I am worried my Soul is lost with the devil. Please help me

It doesn't really work like that. Making a rash statement in the heat of the moment doesn't seal your eternal fate. Our eternities are based on our commitments, our priorities and values, and spiritual orientation, and our nature. The Bible says that those who commit themselves to God to put his nature in us are the ones who go to heaven, and the ones who choose to remain in their sin nature do not. Your saying "I sell my soul to the Devil" is not a commitment or spiritual orientation, nor does it affect your spiritual nature.

You said you struggle with anxiety. Try to be at peace about this and let it go. You didn't sell your soul. But if you genuinely have these anxieties (which seem obvious, based on your post), then a wise course of action would be for you to seek God and pursue Him with all your heart. That's where you will find both help and healing.
