I'm not psychotic, I'm dealing with Borderline PD, PTSD, and possibly OCD. I've been prayed for countless times, and yet the battles became harder and harder to fight alone. But now I've found Christ (yet again), and that seems to give me strength. But I'm wondering... Am I possessed, since I tend to self-harm? Or am I just in the middle of a spiritual warfare? When I'm having a good day, I pray a lot. Thank Jesus for giving me strength. But at my lowest, I tend to forget to pray. I'm filled with doubt, and that small voice inside my head keeps getting stronger and stronger. What do you guys have to say about mental illness? I really need some advice on what to do. Because I want to break the habit of self-harm. I want to be set free. I want to stop with my medication (slowly, following the advice of the doctor). And yet I feel scared of being cured. I'm frightened by the thought of being 'normal'. Because BPD is all I know. I've been sick all my life. I'll stop the rant here, and wait for you guys to answer my questions. If you could write some comforting scriptures, It'll be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say this prayer out loud. If nothing stops you, then you are not possessed, which means that your spirit is not pure, but it can be cleansed through faith. Say this prayer out loud: Heavenly Father, I pray to You, Lord God of Elijah and Moses I ask that I may receive into me the Holy Spirit I ask that you bless me and forgive my sins, For I have been wrong in my ways Please pour upon me the strength of Your Spirit For I am weak without You, Oh God of heaven In the name Your Son, Jesus Christ, I pray to You Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
