obsessing ab God

i obsess over God. I know it’s good to have a relationship with Him, but I feel like I go overboard and am constantly worried about making Him angry. I know this is my ocd, but i was just wondering like how much do Christians without ocd like do it? bc I don’t see them praying constantly like i do. I like to have a set time where I settle down and talk to God and read the bible sometimes (when my brain isn’t acting crazy) and read the daily verse. but my brain either says i need to that way before like sometime in the day rather than at night. And i do talk to God periodically throughout the day, but I gotta say it’s mostly my ocd rituals. Idek what i’m asking here but I just don’t know. Sometimes i’m too overwhelmed to even talk to God or read the Bible. and also i’m constantly worrying if what i’m doing is right or wrong. People say if it feels wrong it usually is, but my brain tells me almost everything i do is wrong. I want to please God and I’d give these things up for him bc I love him way more than anything. But it stresses me out trying to guess if it’s God or just all in my head.

Hey! Prayer looks different for everyone. There’s not a certain amount of times a day that we are supposed to pray, God just loves it when He gets to hear from us! It seems like you have a great desire to pray and spend time with God and please Him. Something that has helped me has been to pray to God just to tell Him how I was feeling. I’ve also used ERT to help me read the Bible more consistently, so if that’s something you’re interested in, you may want to talk to your therapist about it! Hope this helps!

How are you doing now? Read the letter to the galatians, especially the third chapter. I used to have that kind of fear, of unpleasing God, being separated from him because of a sin or not praying enough. I still have somethings like that sometimes, but its much better. Understanding the unconditional love and grace of God can really help, I pray that the Holy Ghost will show you that. I had a big crisis about that matters years ago. After years of “normal anxiety” in my life, this year I began with a crisis of faith, doubts about the existence of God, the christianity, the sense of the history of Jesus.. and I am thinking that actually that may be a religious OCD.. but im not sure..

To my Christian brothers and sisters

Hi I have a question. I love jesus he changed my life and Made me a better person but my ocd loves to confuse me so I have a problem where I remember something in the past and I repented ofc but not it makes me question my intentions and my ocd always puts the are you lying to God card which makes me super scared and then doubt occurs and I'm so exhausted I misinterpret a lot like the voice of God I keep hearing tell the truth and repent now that's it all Good if it were true see ik I'm telling the truth not because of some feeling it's because ocd's version is so ridiculous but It feels soo real I just Want go to God without feeling this fear if I'm lying to him and I fear if somehow I'm wrong. So much anxiety and questions like what if that is gods voice what if I'm wrong pls pray for me and I see videos and I'm scared if that video was sent to me by God telling me to "tell the truth" I say that because my ocd is causing me to doubt the truth being that ocd is wrong

Being a Christian pursuing God but OCD hijacking.

Anyone else struggling with reading their bible or having a certain feeling to feel like God loves them and if they don’t it ruins their whole time with God. Makes pursuing him really hard. Any tips ?

Religious ocd

how do I not treat God like a checklist I don’t want to do the bare minimum but then I feel like the more I try to spend time with him / in the word I will unhealthily obsess with how much time I should spend and if this or whatever the situation may be
