A am a catholic but I have bad thoughts that God is greedy since he wants us to submit and give our everything to him. I am about to cry while typing this because I feel bad for saying that because I live Him so much and don’t want to have those thoughts anymore.
It’s very hard for someone who has OCD to have these thoughts while worshiping God. Here’s my 2 cents. God wants to submit by just giving trust and love towards him. He also gave you free will and made you a mini creator. You can create the life you have always dreamed of. God still wants you to follow his will, make the right choices and be humble towards others. God will support you whatever you do as long as it’s good for you. Whatever type of job, spouse, house, career, pet which you desire, God will support. He created us each individually to make each and every one of us unique. We have desires because of this. Sometimes people take advantage of this and use this towards bad ideas. God takes our desires into consideration, not ignore them. I have these thoughts all of the time thinking that God will be angry with me with manifesting my goals and pursuing my dreams. Yet I know he’s not angry with me and he’s by my side every step of the way as he is with you all! God bless🙏
I feel your pain. It’s distressing to have thought that you feel would be disappointing to God. You feel like you believe them but you can reason against those thoughts with logic too. Worship of God is like sitting on your fathers lap and giving him a picture you drew for him or a flower you picked for him. It’s suppose to be bond of love. Satan is the one who is greedy and tried to steal humans from God in the garden of Eden. God bought us back from death with his sons life. What a high price to pay! Certainly not greedy.
@Ginanicole Thank you so much!! This helps a lot!!! ❤️
All i’m going to is that your not alone in this either this one my ocd obsessions you have more the one again i’m here if you want to talk about it
Does anyone else feel like they think these horrible things on there own or on purpose. I feel like I'm intentionally trying to hurt god and the holy Spirit now and idk what to do. I feel like I'm becoming my worst fear. Idk what to do I feel like I'm losing touch with myself and idk what to do. And I'm really worried God is going to turn his face from me or I'm going to do something I am going to regret. I'm not really sure whats happening to me, but I'm scared I'm going crazy.
How should I cope. I keep getting bad thoughts about the holy Spirit and I feel so bad and guilty all the time. But I definitely do not want to act on them or even mention them. Ik God loves me, but my mind keeps painting a bad picture of him. I also when I try to be concerned about my bad thoughts, my mind will retaliate and say, how can u be scared of hurting someone u don't believe in. And it is really freaking me out... It's like I'm trying to degrade God or the holy Spirit for no reason. And I think I'm hurting there feelings and I feel hopeless and depressed all the time. And I'm just worried God is angry with me or he sees me as fit for punishment or something.
I didnt wanted to post about this but it makes me really sad right now. This post will be about Christianity so if you believe in something else dont read it cause i will mention things that might trigger you. Im struggling with my faith right now and i feel like christianity might be the same like other religions and beliefs. I wont come with the "if theres a God prove it, i want Him to show up" thats ignorant, but i think about some things that keeps me stuck. Before christianity i was really desperate to find the meaning of life so i read about spirituality. Alot of people believe in that and live a peaceful life, cause that thinking makes you have positive behaviours cause they found a meaning. We say other religions are false things but then we say ours is true cause "we feel like its true". So its all about how you feel. Back then i just couldnt relate to spirituality and i found people who were liars and strange people, but we know christians can be that too, so i left spirituality cause it didnt made me feel good. But maybe if i wouldve stayed there and learn more, it generates the same feeling as i have now towards God and now i would say thats the truth cause i feel at peace and that im loved. Many spiritual people feel that, without christian beliefs. Non believers too realized a long time ago that self love is so important. So the problem is that i can never explain why do i believe, i always say "cause i feel that its real" well, if i would be so desperate to pray to a cat God and make myself believe everything I have is from that cat i would feel like its true. So my faith is about how i feel... which can be easily manipulated. And many times people said to me "its just a view, it makes you happy cause youre afraid that life doesnt bavw a meaning" and now i kinda feel like it can be true. Many will say faith is relational, but i can make that relation to anything, as is said if i think theres a big cat somewhere who loves me it can become relational... and then where all this ends it sounds like well God is with us but he doesnt do anything to intervene, you might now feel Him, we dont have any evidence, in the end of the day you just have to trust theres someone who will give you something after this horrible life. And that sounds like you want to give meaning to life. Maybe i didnt got the answers from the best christians, but it sounds to me like you jjst have to trust theres someone out there, and that belief will make you happier... But its the same with every other religion tho... Native americans believed in many Gods and it gave them meaning and a happy peacefull life. But we say thats false... why? Isnt our belief the same? I hope i get some loving anwers, cause im not trying to ruin anyones belief, im just struggling with my faith.
