All the above is great advice, but here is another place where I have found assurance.

The most important question in the word of God.
Matt 16:15. Jesus asks, who do ...YOU... say that I am?


The answer given by Peter.
Matt 16:16. You are Christ the Son of the living God.

Notice that the question is not "what is my name".
When Peter answered he was saying he "knew" Jesus.

Now comes the assuring part of the exchange.
Matt 16:17. Jesus says to Peter, you are blessed by God because ..only..
God the Father in heaven and not any man could give you this revelation.

If you "know" Jesus and all that His name implies, God has revealed this to you. Rest assured that you are blessed by the Father in heaven just as was Peter.

I hope you find this helpful.
