Scared I may do things I'll regret later on

[thequietsinger]

Hello. Lately things have become quite challenging for me, and I’m scared of doing things that would harm myself/spirituality. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Is there anything I could do that may help with this? Thank you all in advance, and may God bless you.

Do these fears have any sort of foundation, or do they just occur from time to time? I am wondering if you have a history of OCD or scrupulosity. If so, then speak with doctor and/or Father about it. If not, then you may be under spiritual attack. Fairly common when one is moving closer to God, or deepening their spirituality. In this case, Father can probably steer you toward some spiritual warfare prayers.

Praying to the Holy Spirit to give you guidance, direction, strength & fortitude in your time of need.

Yes, I have experienced this over my lifetime and sometimes I follow the path of faith and sometimes the secular temptations. It isn’t always easy to keep from making mistakes but I will admit that over my life I have been blessed with the ability to be honest with myself and that has made it easier to correct those mistakes. One of the greatest perils to our personal spirituality is to surround ourselves with people or places that challenge our beliefs in a negative way. I try to avoid these situations the best I can.
