Not sure if my ocd is interfering or Gods warning

The other day I wanted to sign up for this 2 day class that seemed interesting to me but thought I'd buy tickets in the morning and if not it wasn't meant to be but then it did sell out but I was extremely sad and emailed the company asking to be told if anyone dropped out or anything and long story short he told me that I can just show up but then I remembered how I had thought if I didn't get tickets then maybe it wasn't meant to be so I got concerned and just prayed to God that if I wasn't meant to go for some reason that something would block me from going or it would be cancelled or something. And then I got an email that it was postponed because of the instructors flight being delayed so instead of having one session today and one tomorrow they r having both tomorrow and I really want to go but I'm afraid God was telling me not to by postponing it. And it's a scary drive making me scared I'll get in a car crash

Thank you everyone. I just got so scared that God is warning me not to go and that if I ignore it I will die or something

I have these thoughts too. I think this is OCD. My therapist always tells me “if it feels urgent, it’s usually OCD”. I always feel like if I do something “wrong”, God will punish me. For example, I work retail, so if I don’t fold clothes perfectly, I feel that God will punish me and take away something. I also pray very specific prayers that are definitely compulsions. OCD just feels so much like reality.

this sounds like an OCD thought! if you think you can do it, i think that going tomorrow would be an excellent idea for an exposure, and just making a point of driving safely rather than avoiding the class entirely

God loves you the way you are, he knows that you struggle with such thoughts and I’m sure he wouldn’t do this to you love <3 :(

Did you consider that it could not be from God, or it is from the bad guy instead? Button line, don't read too much it. It is a thought and not necessary from God.

@F.A - My point is not to find other sources at all. My point is to accept the possiblity of we don't conclusively know it is from God or whatever. Even when you say it is from the brain, there are triggers that could be trauma or even physical illnesses that can cause the brain to generate such thoughts. Simply we don't know, and one should not assume a source.

OCD

I opened one of my old bibles and it was mark 13 talking about Jesus second coming which is what I’ve been thinking about a lot recently because it’s a heavy topic right now and my ocd also clings to that and I try and pray and pray but I wonder if He was speaking to me telling me He is coming soon because I never ever read that bible I just felt like looking at it and now I don’t know what to do with the information if it was confirmation that he’s coming soon I don’t know how soon or he’s telling me to get ready and I’m kind of afraid and don’t know how to find comfort.

Questions for my Christian ocd sufferers

I put a trigger warning because I will be discussing themes of end of times. I feel like I'm not following God's will. God knows ultimately that things were going to speed up end of times wise. A few months ago, I had a random thought to call someone I had affected with past sin and apologize to him although I did not know he was there, my sin affected him. I know he deserves an apology, but I chalked it up to ocd and treated it as such for months fast forward to now I feel like I'm completely against God. Horrifying. It's a complex situation I caused and therefore though I know he deserves an apology I'm really scared as I created a mess of things. I've been praying that God help certain things come to fruition so I could be exposed and help minister to others if that's what He's calling me to do but no answer. Instead horrible images and thoughts and feelings of doom. I see signs to apologize everywhere. I'm at my wits end. Because I tend to get ahead of myself I asked two family members and they said don't and then I see things that say Though people in your life mean well, don't go based on what they say only what God says. I tell God to do His will and I'll follow, do you think He'll listen. I even told Him I straight up don't want to do it, not because He doesn't deserve one, but because last time I apologized to someone else I didn't do it right and it was messy. I feel so evil, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. I also remember looking up morbid things for what???? Only to be disturbed pray about it and leave by why search it up again? I also fantasized alot about guys I've been single forever, late 20s now, I'm trying to go to church and my crush is there and I try to stop thinking about him because I know it's delusional but the thoughts don't leave. I'm so tired I want to stop but stop what? Living? I want to stick to God as close as possible. I'm going crazy.
