It’s not God. God doesn’t want you to suffer. He actually hates watching you suffer. He knows you are strong. Way stronger then even you believe. He wants you to trust that even though you feel like you won’t get through this, that through him you will. He want us to give it to him and let him handle our fears. I’m not trying to get all religious on you. Trust me, from someone who has questioned my own faith a lot from having OCD, I now know he loves us, I know he wants the best for us, I know he’s with us. We may not understand why we are dealt these cards but maybe we are not meant to know. It’s easy to blame someone or something for our problems and because we feel like God is so powerful, we wonder why he can’t just take it all away for us. Trust and believe he’s strengthening you. That this is for a reason, and that you’re strong enough to face this. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. I’m here to tell you that you will be ok. This will pass and you will feel like yourself again. Be gentle with yourself, take care of yourself, and most importantly, love yourself. Take it a second at a time and just breathe. It’s all going to be ok❤️. Sending positive thoughts your way. I’m gonna end this by sharing a quote I read earlier. It says “God puts us through troubled waters because he knows our demons can’t swim”. Stay strong.

there is nothing we can do.you know I believe in something. I believe that luck is not on everybody's side. Some people are lucky and live happy.And others like me and you are not lucky and suffer. Life is a question of luck only believe me.

This is the lies OCD feeds you. It’s not Gods who’s making you suffer. God does listen to all your prayers. He answers them but maybe not when you want it. You’re meant to go through things that you think will break you, but can you ask yourself. Have I actually broke? You’re still here, you’re still alive. I know it’s hard, trust me I live it with you. I have had intrusive thoughts so bad I couldn’t even function. I’m telling you that you are strong. You are worthy and God loves you even when you are angry with him. Stay strong❤️

I love him and I want to go with him, but I’m hesitant because I worry that when I go to him it’ll get worse. Like I think when I pray, I’m showing God that I’m not suffering enough and that I need it do get worse

I’m always here to help❤️. I don’t know how much of a life coach Id be but we can definitely help each other???. Just don’t forgot how amazing you are. OCD likes to lie and tell you that you’re not but it’s not true. You’re strong and worthy and don’t forget that God loves you for all of that. Everything you think he wouldn’t love about you, he loves even more then you can imagine. You will beat this. You are still YOU with OCD❤️

I'm Christian and I struggle with being close to god a lot but lately I just feel like I will never near a full relationship with god because of this not only that my heart physically hurts because I think about how I want god to allow me to get married and have kids but I don't think that's his will for me I feel like it will never happen and my heart hurts thinking about it and even if god does allow that blessing to come my way l'm afraid I'm going to end up hurting my husband or committing adultery and I'm afraid how he would react to my past and old relationship and ocd I don't think it will ever go away not because I don't think god is powerful enough I know he is I just think he wants that to be my story for the glory of his name and because it keeps me close to him idk I just my heart hurts thinking about not being married and not having kids but l'm trying to accept that in case that isn't his will for me it just really hurts my heart physically im thinking of starting therapy but im scared it wont do anything or God will get upset with me that I couldn’t do it with just him i got put back on pills and im gonna end up going back to therapy i get afraid of death and other things now idk I just don’t wanna upset god

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

Hi friends. I recently had a relapse with OCD and I haven’t felt that real intense pain/fear/panic since I was first diagnosed 3 years ago. It was awful. I’ve been on medication and going to therapy for some time, and I am happy to report I have grown a lot. Long story short, it’s just become a burden for me recently trying to understand why this had to happen to me (and all of you). When I first started following Jesus, it was such a spiritual high. I had so much peace and joy, and I think within that first year with Him I became obsessed with the Bible and learning as much as I could. I think it was a sweet time, but suddenly a switch flipped. I became concerned that all my head knowledge, though I took to heart, became all I cared about. Then all the intrusive thoughts started, and you know the rest. I was relieved when I got my diagnosis, to know that scrupulosity is even a thing. But today, I sit and realize my OCD has taken on other forms (existential/fear of going insane) and then of course I started asking God “why me?”. And then… of course.. I feel bad for asking that. And then it triggered that same old feeling that I’m not in right standing with God. It’s so meta I can’t take it. Does anyone wonder why this had to be? I know the typical answers “we live in a broken world” and “God will use this for His glory” but is anyone just able to sit in that frustration, and work it out? I want to keep fighting, try understanding, like there’s this itch in me that I need to “figure out” something. But I know God isn’t the voice that’s speaking that to me. But gosh, it’s so brutal and hard. I believe God is carrying me through this. 2 Corinthians 12 has been a blessing for this. I just feel so weak. I get upset this is happening, start doubting God, and then feel guilty. It’s a stupid cycle and I see it. I have a very intellectual mind, and I find that most people with this kind of OCD share this trait. But it’s like, the logic doesn’t help. I just want God to sit in my bedroom and tell me it’s real, my faith is intact, and to keep trusting. I don’t know why He won’t do that for me, and I feel guilty for even feeling that way. Anyways, I don’t know what I’m seeking here, but for anyone feeling this way, know you’re not alone. I deeply love you all, even though we are all strangers. 1 Peter 5:9… right?
