Don’t be Afraid, For I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, For I am Your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 🤍✨🙌🏽🙏🏽 Jesus loves you and will see and protect you no matter what🤍.
hi! so i’d suggest kinda starting to do it for a single day and wean yourself off of it, like a baby from a passy. understand and watch how you’re completely okay and nothing will happen. reassure yourself it is okay and you are not gonna let the thought hurt you. even carry it around with you and put it on of the thoughts get too overwhelming!
Hey guys- I don’t know if any of you with religion/spirituality ocd struggle with the “unacceptable thoughts” about like evil and stuff but I’m struggling.. it feels like I believe that I want the evil stuff because I had demon-like voices in my head as ahead where I went to talk to God when I was experiencing great distress and then these evil thoughts came in and I let them in and like “ok-ed” evil stuff. Especially because I felt so forced into my faith journey as a kid so it’s like that “feeling rejected -> rebellion thing) but I also know that but I also have such fond memories of feeling so close to God to leaning on Him for so many things. It’s so hard because 90% of my memories as a kid, I struggled with severe ocd and no one knew what it was or how debilitating it could be I’m trying the ERP with these thoughts but😭 have any of you gone through the same things? It’s so strong In my mind because I know there’s actual spiritual warfare so I feel like - pray for me guys
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?
Just wondering if anyone else’s spiritual OCD seems to also effect your relationship with God and push you farther away from God when you really would rather be closer?
