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
I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.
im so afraid. someone said that blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say something thats untrue. and my ocd is having a field day with it. i believe God is amazing, great and forgiving. however why are my thoughts this way, it gives me anxiety down to my toes and makes me want to vomit. im sorry if this triggers someone or anything. God Bless, Jesus Loves You.
Yesterday I kept thinking about something sad about God like yk when you feel disappointed in God sometimes :( so I had just gotten a really bad thought of God turning into a demon …. And it felt like like I was thinking it for a sec like intentionally… and I quickly started to panic and feel really bad bc I Love God a lot but I’m afraid I committed the Unforgivable sin aka blasphemy my brain gets to addicted to think about certain things I can’t think about
