Grace

Brothers and sisters, God's Grace is abundant in our lives everyday, but often times we choose to ignore it because of fear and anxiety, how many lies do we have to "obey" to please ocd? To erase the anxiety? Compulsions have not worked they only have led us to more anxiety and fear. God's Grace allows us to ignore the lies and resist compulsions as a way of trusting Jesus Who Is the Truth. God gives us His Grace when we ask for it but just as with anything God gives, its up to us to accept it or ignore it. Lets ignore fear, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, silly ocd rules and lets trust God's Grace and Word. Lets ask God for help to accept His Grace, lets take a leap and trust our Father Who loves us and never lies! God knows our struggle and wants us to be healed, but brothers and sisters our healing will only come from trusting Him. It is not easy, it is not pleasant at times but its our Loving Father who holds our hands.

Waging War A...

Date posted: 1y ago

I AGREE!!!!!! This is excellent!!! I wrote a book recently called Waging War Against OCD - A Christian Approach to Victory. (see WagingWarAgainstOCD.com for details). I wrote the majority of it many years ago and then about 2 years before I published it I realized the God’s GRACE is one of the most powerful weapons against OCD because grace by definition is UNDESERVED….so it has NOTHING to do with our performance. I added an entire chapter about that. In it, I heavily quote Dr. Tony Evans. He talks about how foreign grace is to us - how unnatural it feels, and we have to intentionally immerse ourself in it….B/c nothing in this world follows grace (for example - at work we work hard and then get paid). As OCDers, we are much more easily drawn into legalism (compulsions), and grace is one of the main answers to defeating it.

What a blessing to have ocd and rely every second on God's grace and mercy, every moment we choose to resist compulsions we are trusting God

I want to make a bracelet that will just say "AGAPE," and what this means is to just be still and nourished in God's mercy and love. So everytime I have an intrusive thought instead of falling for the urge to do a compulsion which will only cause more damge, I can gently redirect myself to God's unconditional mercy and love. I know who I am, because God knows who I am.

Religious/scrupulosity

Hey guys lol So the longer I’ve been in OCD therapy, the more my meds have helped quiet my mind: I realize how many things I have been doing that was compulsive that I didn’t realize was compulsive. And for some reason I felt like those compulsions helped me to feel closer to God. Like felt closer to my val...

Feeling Distant From God

OCD often makes me feel distant from God. I often feel unforgiven, unloved, and even hated. In my head I often view God as someone who hates me and who is always constantly disappointed in me. My relationship with him feels like an Obligation now more than a relationship. I’m always on the cusp of beco...

Christianity

Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?
