I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my problem. I say problem because I have struggled with this for some time now. I believe to the best of my knowledge that I was converted about 10 yrs. ago at age 52. I have never had the assurance of my salvation although I continue to pray that God would bless me with this as a settled issue. I have done all the things I have been taught to do for salvation but still it eludes me. When I know I have sinned, it is worse and I feel sure I could not be one of God's elect who could dishonor him so easily. This is my recent experience as I fell into a besetting sin and am very upset with myself. I know I need to confess it but it seems as if I am talking to myself.
Has anyone else ever struggled with this and could point me in the right direction.
