Um… No. Our brains just have intrusive thoughts pop in. If you look it up, science can’t explain it. It just happens 💜

I don't think God would punish us for things outside of our conscious control, and that would include intrusive thoughts. It's only the thoughts you want to experience that might qualify as sins. Maybe you could sit with the uncertainty of whether your thoughts are sinful or not, if that's something that fills you with doubt. If they are, what would the consequences of that be? God would still love you no matter what

Hello. Your asking something I have asked and worried about many times. And I firmly believe no one understands us more than God. Jesus came for the imperfect and the sick. Many times I have worried about God punishing me for something OCD related. Like something bad happening to me or a loved one. And I always just need to remind myself that's not how The Man Upstairs rolls. OCD is trying to lie to you, don't let it.

Depends which god and religion you're getting these phobias from.

Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts while praying or thinking of God? It has been stressing me out so bad. I feel like I’m a bad Christian or somethings wrong with me cause sometimes I get flooded with intrusive thoughts when I try to focus my time on God.

Will we be Forgiven for our intrusive thoughts
I always wonder about this: will God forgive us for such thoughts? Sometimes the thoughts are so disturbing and disgusting that I question if God even exists. If He does, why would He even allow such a disgusting thought in my mind? On judgment day, will people see the intrusive thoughts we had about them? It just worries me sometimes. I have the most horrible intrusive thoughts about harming others; they make me sick. Sometimes I start to wonder if I even deserve to live because how can such thoughts pop into my mind? I know they are intrusive thoughts, but still, the whole idea of the thought coming from my mind bothers me so much. I know I don't think like that, but still, it bothers me. Sometimes I don't know how to feel. Sometimes I feel perfectly normal; other times my OCD has me on edge. Sometimes the intrusive thoughts just don't stop. Do you think we will be forgiven for these thoughts? Sometimes I wonder even if I am forgiven, could I forgive myself?
