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.
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
So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?
Im starting school again the 18th of August for the first time in-person. I just want be free. I am tired of living like this. I feel scared and petrified all the time. I feel like my sins are so much and so heavy. My OCD is slowly destroying me every day. I have asked God; what is this? What do you want from me? Forgive me! Release me! Help me! I don't know how to live a normal life or even a peaceful one. Help me Jesus! I renounce everything for you! I repent! This cross is so so heavy. Help me Jesus.
