I get that way too but ocd isn’t your fault they are just thoughts. God knows that you are struggling with these thoughts and he knows they don’t define who you are . Your thoughts aren’t you. Hope this helps have a blessed day !:)

What are your doubts around particularly with God? As a Christian myself who struggles with scrupulosity I have an idea what this is like. One thing that’s helped me are these few scriptures “The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust.” Psalms 103:8-10, 13-14 NLT “And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:26-28 NLT These scriptures remind me he understands my doubts and my OCD and dosent hold that against me, but rather loves me and pours out grace on me, and the best part is he never gets annoyed or sick of me because of the OCD. “Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is the means to overcome it.” Steven Furtick Hope this helps

I love the physical church. It brings me peace, I think it’s beautiful and calming. I feel God there. But I don’t feel the same presence when I’m anywhere else. And even though I find comfort in a lot of scripture, I have a hard time believing because I don’t always believe everything in the Bible. Like the stories. I don’t believe they aren’t true necessarily but it’s hard for me to conceptualize. And I feel like if I don’t believe every word in the Bible than I can’t be a true christian.

@ice bear Your welcome! I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing to have doubts about some of the stories in scripture, I think it may be a good thing because it’s showing that your making your faith your own and taking it seriously and have questions vs just believing because your family did or something like that God welcomes those questions, and you should bring those to him, however as someone who struggles with OCD I also let those questions become obsessive where It made life hell for me, so just be mindful of those things.

Sometimes it’s very hard to pray when I’m struggling with the ocd,but I believe Jesus understands and is beside us and protecting us through all our hard times 🙏💕

I know this exact feeling , not only do u feel like your disappointing if he is real but the ocd will put you in situations where you ask him to prove himself in someway and don’t get the resolution you are looking for you will have doubts

I struggle with this so much. It’s a constant battle for me as well. I do think going to church physically would help but my contamination/ health concern OCD is so bad that I’m afraid to go. I just read the Bible and listen to sermons online and pray.

To my Christian brothers and sisters
Hi I have a question. I love jesus he changed my life and Made me a better person but my ocd loves to confuse me so I have a problem where I remember something in the past and I repented ofc but not it makes me question my intentions and my ocd always puts the are you lying to God card which makes me super scared and then doubt occurs and I'm so exhausted I misinterpret a lot like the voice of God I keep hearing tell the truth and repent now that's it all Good if it were true see ik I'm telling the truth not because of some feeling it's because ocd's version is so ridiculous but It feels soo real I just Want go to God without feeling this fear if I'm lying to him and I fear if somehow I'm wrong. So much anxiety and questions like what if that is gods voice what if I'm wrong pls pray for me and I see videos and I'm scared if that video was sent to me by God telling me to "tell the truth" I say that because my ocd is causing me to doubt the truth being that ocd is wrong

Being a Christian pursuing God but OCD hijacking.
Anyone else struggling with reading their bible or having a certain feeling to feel like God loves them and if they don’t it ruins their whole time with God. Makes pursuing him really hard. Any tips ?

Religious OCD
So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?
