How can I overcome religious OCD and rejection mindset to feel God's love?

Religious OCD, Doubt, Rejection Mindset

Hi everyone. I’ve been having religious OCD for the past 4 months now. I’ve always been a Christian but it wasn’t until this year I truly gave myself to the Lord. I was so on fire. Getting amazing signs and healing from Him. He really changed my heart and desires! I love them! But the last couple months this OCD hit hard with obsession over scary thoughts & feelings. I started having thoughts about God existence & Jesus. It hurt so much and I’m really trying everyday to move forward but recently I feel like I have a rejection mindset. Like beating myself up over these thoughts and feeling like Gods left me sometimes or I’m not worthy of His love or me having these thoughts of doubts & unbelief was the last straw. I’ve been so attacked lately with this OCD. It’s scaring me. Sometimes it feels like it’s coming from me. I felt like I woke up in total disbelief. I just woke up feeling so numb and questioning life. Doubting everything and I get OCD is a doubting disease but dang. I don’t want to doubt God & Jesus. I look back at my experiences and sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t. It makes me feel like God is mad at me or will leave me. I’m constantly checking myself, my feelings, my thoughts and even if I’ll “act on this thought”! Deep down I know it’s not true because God is love but does anyone have any advice on how to move forward with these thoughts of rejection? To have a better mindset of believing & receiving Gods Love, Grace and Promises.

Just remember that this disease is a fear response from your brain, those thoughts are just thoughts that in a way represent your fears of doing what you are thinking, but that doesn’t mean that you are gonna do it, it means the opposite

Faith without doubts is not faith of Abraham, but blind fanatism...faith of Abraham - or a christian is to go even, when there are doubts... Romans 4:18 "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations"... and Mark 9: 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief" ... even psalmists, Job and prophets cry out :" where are you God"? at times.... so biblical faith is relationship...it is a choice to fall into dark abyss and believe that Gods hand will catch you...

so we see doubts are part of journey to even go closer to God...in relation to OCD, you can trust God that even when you do not obess about things or do compulsions - thins will turn out right... about rejection mindset...yes we sometimes still live in our schemas and under law and not grace...start with reading about grace of God in Jesus ...and apply self love and self compassion and self care...dont count OCD thoughts agains you...you are not responsible for thoughts that come to your awerness ... i wish you best ...will pray for you

OCD Doubting

My OCD makes me doubt my faith & God! It also makes me doubt myself, my values and literally everything! Makes me even doubt if this is OCD! I love God & Jesus! I know I gave my life to Him! Being reborn! I’ve seen the changes! It hurts to have these thoughts & feelings of doubt! I’ve been having this for 6 months. It started as a thought of “is God real” now it’s like my mind has interrogated me over and over again making me question everything! Yelling accusations at me! Telling me I don’t “believe enough” or “maybe I don’t believe” or “I don’t love Him” and just stuff like that and I hate it! I want faith & belief and I refuse to give up! I try to remind myself this isn’t a Faith problem but an OCD problem but my OCD tries to make me doubt that! Anyone gone through this? Any advice?

Religious OCD rejection thoughts

Does any get rejection thoughts about God & Jesus? My current theme is doubting them and I love God & Jesus so much! Yesterday I had a thought about “I reject ___” and it scared me so bad and hurt my heart so much! I’ve had that thought before and was able to move forward and i believe I was forgiven but I feel like my OCD is now trying to latch onto this theme. Any advice? Has anyone had those thoughts to?

My OCD makes me doubt my faith

My OCD makes me doubt my faith & God! It also makes me doubt myself, my values and literally everything! Makes me even doubt if this is OCD! I love God & Jesus! I know I gave my life to Him! Being reborn! I’ve seen the changes! It hurts to have these thoughts & feelings of doubt! I know it says OCD attacks what you care about the most! I’ve been having this for 6 months. It started as a thought of “is God real” now it’s like my mind has interrogated me over & over again making me question everything! Yelling accusations at me! Telling me I don’t “believe enough” or “maybe I don’t believe” or “I don’t love Him” and just stuff like that & I hate it! Sometimes whenever I think about it to much it gets so confusing or I need to “fix it”! I want faith & belief and I refuse to give up! I know I’m very hard on myself & I try to remind myself this isn’t a Faith problem but an OCD problem but my OCD tries to make me doubt that! Logic & OCD don’t mix. Has anyone gone through this? Please any advice?
