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

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
He'll help you, in His time, not yours. Just keep asking.
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!
My ocd is going off the hinges. I can’t stop thinking God is angry at me and hates me and it’s weird. And can’t stop thinking everyone hates me. I can’t stop thinking that no matter what I try I’ll never get better. This sucks
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.
So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
