Trust in Jesus!
Jesus can help you beat your OCD, even if it’s so hard. If you have been praying for a sign to trust Jesus Christ again, this is it!

My relationship with Jesus is not where I would like it to be. All I want is Him and to function as i should in the body of Christ. I want Him to draw near to me again. I keep thinking that it’s because i am with my girlfriend and that i should break up with her to be close to Him again. Idk if this makes sense. But thank you for your post. Really trying to trust Jesus in all this. It’s exhausting and driving me crazy.
@protoevangelium I understand. I’ve been working on my faith in Jesus too. I feel like OCD makes me afraid of God rather than worshipping him and functioning well in the Body of Christ. I was trying to give people who struggle like me some encouragement with my post 😊✝️
This is so common, really! If you haven't heard of Jaimie Eckert - she is amazingly good at understanding so many issues we face as Christians with OCD. Here is a detailed post she wrote that I think you will find both relatable and helpful! https://scrupulosity.com/idolatry-obsessions/
@Kaila Conquerors OCD - thank you, I needed the encouragement. I will trust my Savior Jesus.
@Waging War Against OCD - thank you!
Love this! It’s just so difficult when dealing with awful blasphemous thoughts! It makes me feel so disgusted with myself & that how can He love me with these thoughts? Is He still with me? Will He forgive me? It’s been difficult especially with those doubts coming up. Sometimes I feel like I’m more scared of Him instead of remembering He loves us no matter what & nothing we do, think or say will change that. I just wish these awful thoughts will go away. Especially those evil blasphemous ones! They bother me so fricking much & make me feel like the worst christian or how could I call myself a Christian with these awful thoughts but I try to remind myself Martin Luther, John Bunyan, Charles S & so many Christians deal with blasphemous thoughts.
@Cammy123 This is so relatable ❤️ thank you for sharing
All - I am noticing there are several Christians in these post responses, so I thought I'd shamelessly promote my book :) It's called Waging War Against OCD - A Christian Approach to Victory. You can see more details at WagingWarAgainstOCD.com Also, I recommend looking up Jaimie Eckert and Mark DeJesus on Youtube. They are both Christians and have lots of wisdom on how to deal with these issues.
I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....
Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.
