The situation right now

Dear brothers and sisters, war is scary and should never happen. Unfortunately it's happening now in Ukraine. Some of you might have family or friends there. I want to extend my prayers to all and pray that they remain safe. I want to write this to let you know that you still matter, your problems matter, you should not stop the treatment you're in, keep going with therapy. Do not fall trap to the lies that will come with ocd saying that your problems don't matter compared to the people who suffer the violence of war. Ocd will try to convince you that you are not worth it. It's all lies. Everything ocd says is lies. Keep pushing forward against ocd with therapy, with prayer. God loves you. Want to help people in Ukraine good, there's official sites you can donate to but more importantly, pray for them! A simple prayer from the heart is enough. If prayer is something that gives you lots of anxiety right now then pray in the simplest way possible, look up to the heavens and smile, that's a prayer, a tear that rolls down your cheek that's a prayer. Talk to your Heavenly Father who loves you. War cannot and will not win. God's grace and love are sufficient and His light overcomes the darkness always. Keep working on your therapy push harder if anything. Do not be afraid. The Almighty LORD is with us, pray for mercy for those who started the war for they too are children of God. Do not despair! Let the thoughts come and go, resist compulsions and put all your trust in God your Heavenly Father, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. God bless you

youyou how you mentioned tears, looking up at heaven is a prayer already. I watch a catholic TV station ewtn and a few days ago saw a couple speaking on how just a sigh, tears etc can be a form of prayer. Your posts are always uplifting thanks for hearing the voice of God and then writing these posts. God bless you!!

@NOCD Advocate - Cesar O. One more thing my mom is worried that this therapy won’t help with spiritual ocd if u can do you share like if it’s true or not they want me to stop and seek help another way with a Christain therapist cause this one is too expensive and they fear it won’t help

@Anonymous All ocd responds to the same treatment erp, there are values and situations that we Christians have to face that others don't and the therapist knows you have rules to follow she or he won't interfere with that, it's good to have a Christian therapist but don't be afraid the method will be the same erp, outside of therapy speak to a priest read on your own about who God really is and about His endless mercy and love, be excited on this journey you're starting of growing your faith and getting closer to God, rejoice because God has shown you the first steps of healing from ocd and now trust Him and accept the help He has sent, God bless

@Anonymous There's no specific prayer or formula, it's not a magic spell. Prayer transforms you into trusting God, I recommend downloading Hallow, there's many prayers there. Try the prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Therapy took about 6 months to a year but it's not about time it's about what you learn. Don't be afraid move forward even when you feel uncertain, that is faith. Also visit Scrupulousanonymous.org

How did u overcome ur spiritual ocd it’s eating me up I love the lord I know he loves me but I don’t want to keep commiting blasphemy while pray or Bible time

How can you commit blasphemy if you just said you love the LORD? What you have is intrusive thoughts which we all have, they don't come from your heart and you cannot stop then on your own no matter how much you try, He knows this. Seek therapy that's what helped me to recover. I'm not cured because these thoughts are expected to come at times, we cannot stop our thoughts but we can learn to see them as what they are just thoughts, mind farts haha, would you breathe in a fart? No haha so same with intrusive thoughts, let them come and go God knows you don't want them. Ask Him for help to disregard the thoughts to resist compulsions. God grace helped me during therapy and still today. Therapy helped me and of course God helped me. And since God made everything and everyone, who really helped me? God. Trust in Him. His mercy and love are endless. Don't be afraid to pray. God bless

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

OCD 'feeling real'

I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort

Religious OCD Christian

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
