God help
I’m trying so hard to be optimistic and have good faith in God but sometimes I wonder is he really going to help me out

He'll help you, in His time, not yours. Just keep asking.
Sometimes it’s hard to know how God is working. Sometimes we wonder why he puts trials in our life. But I’ve learned over the years that He uses these moments of hopelessness to show us how desperately we need Him. He uses these moments for our sanctification. Keep looking to Him and rest in the knowledge that nothing is outside of His control. There is a beautiful line from a hymn that goes: Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in his wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of his glory and grace
Gods love works in mysterious ways but he is there with you 🙏✨
Nothing can separate you from the Love of God (Romans 8)! „One year has passed and I have a new song to sing. Because the one who counts the stars is also the one who holds me in his hands. Through the cries through the exhaustion, the unbearable emotional pain He was there. When I found out that all the compulsions, all the rituals were actually in vain That, my friends, is the real pain. So I grieved, I grieved I grieved some more, and deep down in the pit is where I found Him. He was holding me, in every thought, in every pain, I was precious to Him.“ (poem)
God helps in different ways. Through therapists, videos, this forum. Praying for you!
How have people here kept their faith throughout this? I have prayed hundreds upon hundreds of times and received no help. I've just watched this get worse and worse while I beg for it to end. Whenever I rarely try praying again I get no help with every single time. (I'm a christian)
Not to offend anyone who is religious but my ocd has made me very anti religious. I feel like I’m a decent person, I asked god for help Multiple times and nothing changes. Idk it just makes it hard to believe in Miracles
Losing my faith in God has made this that much harder. I’m not talking about praying as a compulsion. But I used to have strong faith and that made any anxiety or issues I had that much easier because I could just give it to God. Lately I’ve had so many questions and am barely hanging on by a thread. I used to be a youth pastor and now I feel like there’s no hope. Then throw on my newly developed OCD now the problems are compounded and I just don’t even feel like getting out of bed anymore. I’m just so sad but have a wife and kid I need to be present for. I’ve never gone through anything like this in my life, why now when I’m needed most by my family?
