Christian and ERP?

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

Christian here! God knows your heart. Keep doing the ERP it's worth it and He'll get you through
