Jeremiah 8

Jeremiah 8:6
"I have listened and heard,
They have spoken what is not right;
No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, 'What have I done?'
Everyone turned to his course
Like a horse charging into the battle.
I think this shows the key to the difference between one who is God's and one who is not.  The one who is not doesn't doubt, doesn't question, doesn't worry.  He simple continues on his path, never wondering if it's the right one.

As far back as I can remember, I've been plagued with doubts and guilt.  I've wondered if I'm truly saved, or just going through the motions.  I certainly know I'm a sinner, but I don't feel like I'm improving notably, not growing.  Is the question, the doubt, itself a reassurance?  Or is the answer still "no," even if I'm sincerely wondering?
