My ocd is mainly around my faith so it pushes me away from God a lot how do I even talk to Him about it ?

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.
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.
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?
So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?
