Seek the truth, which is that you are loved and forgiven God just wants a relationship with you, he’s not interested in punishment, he already took that on for you. Now he just wants you to know he loves you and to love him back

I’m not part of your religion as an agnostic, but I feel like if there is a god that they would want to support you and forgive you, welcome you no matter what. The negative actions do the church don’t accurately represent what the creator of everything would feel

I’ve been there….you are not alone in your pain. I suggest googling Mark deJesus. Also Jaimie Eckert has a site called scrupulosity.com and helps thousands of people struggling with these types of issues. I have a website called WagingWarAgainstOCD.com - I wrote a book you can learn more about there - Chapter 8 and 9 would be of great help. (You can email me at WagingWarAgainstOCD@gmail.com and I’d be happy to mail you a copy) A good starting point is to believe the character of God. The Bible clearly tells us He is kind, gentle, merciful, full of grace towards us. He is NOT sitting there to beat us over the head for every mistake we make. He knows our hearts more than we ever could and He still loves us.

Pretty Tough Morning
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?

Religious OCD
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

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
