But we don't know the person in the OP to make that determination it could just be a lack of faith and a fear of hell and personal sin that makes the person feel unworthy, scared and anxious. I've known people like that over the years and the old fire and brimstone preachers had that effect on people once upon a time.OCD-style anxious is different than a normal person's anxiety.
Lavender said she/he was diagnosed with OCD. which I trust them. And considering they display that OCD behavior here, that's a pretty solid case in my mind.But we don't know the person in the OP to make that determination it could just be a lack of faith and a fear of hell and personal sin that makes the person feel unworthy, scared and anxious.

I missed the OCD , sorry about thatLavender said she/he was diagnosed with OCD. which I trust them. And considering they display that OCD behavior here, that's a pretty solid case in my mind.
Obviously this is something a proffesional should be involved in treating, hence my recommendation to seek therapy.

Those are not the same thing. An anxious person is not a disorder its a lack of trust in the Lord and His promises.
Matthew 6:25-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Philippians 4:6-8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
hope this helps !!!
You're in no danger of loosing salvation due to mental illness.Anxiety is a mental illness FYI. And so is OCD. Now your saying I'm wrong to feel this way bc of me fearing of losing my salvation????? Wow
Sorry I was not aware of the OCD and I was only talking about anxiety from a biblical perspective with those passages. I meant no harm to you. I apologize for offending you.Anxiety is a mental illness FYI. And so is OCD. Now your saying I'm wrong to feel this way bc of me fearing of losing my salvation????? Wow
Blasphemy against God, Jesus, and/or HS
Selling my soul to the devil
Having the mark of the beast on me
Committing the unforgivable sin
