Religion OCD about god and Jesus

My OCD latches onto anything, a friend was talking about a guy said that god couldn’t kill him and 3 days later he died in a car crash and now my ocd has me ...

I suffered from the same form of ocd so I understand the confusion and fear. But in my going through prayed not in an ocd ritual way or pattern and started reading The Bible. And God helped me and delivered me instantly one day in prayer. I still did ERP and talked to a therapist, but my point is…. God is all good, He is gentle and kind. Yes He is powerful and to be respected but He is not out to get anyone. He came and died for everyone so we can have life. So get to know Him. Reading the Bible can even be good erp but talk to a counselor. Trust me when I say He loves all sinner and saint alike… maybe the man was living reckless because he thought God couldn’t kill him who knows. Deal with the uncertainty with that kind of approach. He draws us with loving kindness His mercy is new every morning His thoughts torward us are more then the sand. This are the scriptures you need to read to get to know Him and His nauture. God bless there is hope ocd is defeated.

I have experienced a type of OCD similar to this before. I’m not going to speak about God, nor do I want to bring a discussion about that into this. The reality of the situation, for me when faced with this theme, is just fear of some uncertainty. Just like every other OCD theme. It’s funny how my brain can convince me that, “this one is different though!!” When in reality it’s just OCD disguised in different clothing. I tried an exercise probably like a week ago where I said “I’m going to die tonight.” I woke up the next morning. I will die someday, but I didn’t die that day and am alive typing this, but I could’ve died that night. It’s all about becoming comfortable being uncomfortable and learning to better embrace uncertainty. Therapy/ERP gave me the tools to better do that, and have helped me get some mental relief from the suffering from OCD. I highly suggest getting a therapist and trying ERP if you have the opportunity. I hope this helps in some small way.

@Kt1718 Of course, let me know if you have any questions!

This is sort of a sub part of the religious OCD, but I have Meta OCD as well. My main fear is ocd driving me to do a horrible prayer. Unfortunately, one thing my mind does is prays for things I want constantly to prove that I can choose what I pray for. Some of these things include either my ocd to go away, people to be safe, or to die by being killed by a an animal or something when I’m running on the trial. The issue is with the being killed thing. I have prayed for all sorts of things I know are not going to happen. Unfortunately, one of them was almost world war 3. I’m not usually that kind of person. I read someone say they basically prayed for disaster every day on Reddit and people didn’t completely destroy them over it, so I thought “well I could pray for world war 3.” The issue is, if I were my normal calm self, I wouldn’t do that. All I would be thinking about is how I would die if it happened. I’m not sure if testing the prayers are somehow warping my actual values or if that’s an excuse I’m making for myself. When I’m running on the trail, I really wouldn’t want to be killed by an animal either, but I guess I mean it, cause I want to die. But I know it’s not going to happen. So I’m not sure if this is an ocd issue or not
