What do you do when you questioned something about God or thought something bad about Him and now fear that He will never forgive you, especially since you still have doubts and questions about Him?
God will always forgive you. We’re all sinners but he loves you so much no matter what. Never feel like he doesn’t love you, he loves you so so much.
I struggle with the exact same thing… I have religous OCD. Think about Thomas the disciple. He was a doubter… so many people Jesus chose doubted him, before christ people who faithfully followed God at times doubted him. This is where your faith comes in. We are human and its hard to control your thoughts, we often have wondering minds. But questioning and doubting as a believer is not unforgivable but instead a chance to lean into him and trust, pray through it and strengthen our faith. Iv had very bad hateful intrusive thoughts about the holy trinity, and it was terrifying and painful, but i don’t want those things and i don’t believe those things. I just pray, repent of all knowing sins, ask for conviction, and keep loving and trusting him. God always knows the true us, not what OCD thoughts make us believe about ourselves.
Look up scrupulosity it will help you. Jamie at scrupolosity.com and Mark DeJesus on you tube were tremendous help. I also loved the book I believe in Love by Fr.Jean C.J. D’Elbee
It’s been hard. I feel so trapped. I felt okay about a week ago. But these thoughts are really hitting me hard. Especially doubt too. Doubt if God & Jesus loves me because of these awful blasphemous thoughts! Doubts if I’m his child! Doubts if I am saved! I feel like I’m thinking then on purpose but I don’t want these thoughts! They bother me so much! It’s like a tick or Tourette’s in my brain. I also have thoughts switches I’ll say I love god but then it’ll changed to something so evil is gross :( It feels like I don’t have a relationship with God anymore or like I don’t know how to anymore. It makes me sad and stressing me out. I obviously try not to think awful things but the more I try not too the worse they are. I just feel so lost. I was so on fire and felt like my faith for God & Jesus was unstoppable but now I feel like I’m so far or how could he possibly love me anymore. How could I have these thoughts :(
Last night when I was laying in bed, I was just thinking about my religion. I’m a Christian and for some reason, I said a bad word in my mind about God I’m not gonna type the word on here. I can barely even say it. I just don’t understand why I thought that And I prayed for forgiveness sometimes I feel guilty. Sometimes I don’t. I don’t understand why I said that I know it’s not true. I know I don’t mean it, but what if I did what if God is going to punish me now for that thought I know we’re human and we make mistakes but I just can’t forgive myself for this. I haven’t been able to think about anything else. I’ve been miserable since this happened. I’m just so done and I don’t know what else I can do.
Hello, I've been really struggling with my relationship with God since I believe He is coming soon. I've made alot of mistakes I've turned from but I don't think I've sought or advocated enough for hurt I've caused I don't know if God will help me or has His back turned from me. I don't know where I stand with Him and I pray He restores those I hurt truly
