hey! I’m a Christian and I get where you are coming from. sometimes it feels backwards to me that in order to get help for OCD I have to sit with uncertainty when God is truth. Something I do is always pray before starting ERP or a therapy session, or whenever I feel overwhelmed by OCD. I pray for truth and for peace over my mind. I also pray for strength. While sitting with my thoughts, I often play worship music or invite God into that time with me. My experience ends up being a lot calmer and more focused. ERP is hard but I also know that, by accepting uncertainty, I am putting my faith in God and His plans for me rather than trying to solve problems in my own ways through compulsions.

I do the ERP for my so-ocd but I keep in the back of my mind what Im confident in about my sexuality. When I do my ERP I will keep in the back of my mind what I know and that is I know that I am straight. Afterwards, I just pray and talk to God and he takes the reins for the rest. He has given my confirmations and I just keep moving forward and letting him lead me through and by doing that I've healed so much faster. I still have my down days but with God and being patience things will always work out. Hope this helps
