Magical thinking
I constantly think that if I don't pray to God to protect everyone everyday that something bad will happen because I didn't ask to be protected. It's tiring and it sucks. ☹️

this is literally me. It also stems because the way i was raised to fear god made me paranoid, not “comforted”. God is like a stalker for me, not someone who protects my family. I only feel the need to say that because i feel threatened that if i dont pray to god or attempt to make a connection with god, god will kill my family and everything that i love. (sorry for lowercase g’s irdc to uppercase it, that honestly just stresses me out more having to think about that lol)

I also just felt/feel like god is just someone who has power over me but to use it mostly in a negative way unless i beg for mercy. It feels like my soul is kidnapped. And i feel uncomfortable. Like does god watch me in the shower? does god see me in the bathroom? does god look at me when i engage in my ocd repetition actions and does god laugh? like why. its just weird and uncomfortable and it honestly still gets in the way of my new spiritual journey

Do you think of God as this monster, ready to do evil if you don't pray? Do you think God needs your prayers? What would your prayers add to His kingdom? God is Loving and Merciful. Your prayers are for yourself, and only you benefit from it.

Check out Mark DeJesus! He has so much content and has really helped me see the root of my OCD...so much comes down to Trusting God's heart for me as I am and receiving His love as I am!!! So hard to do, but also so beautiful

thank you for saying this. i have the EXACT same issue. i feel like if i dont pray a very specific, very long prayer about keeping my family members and loved ones safe from xyz, then i will be the cause of those bad things happening to them. it is so exhausting and confusing. im right there with you. and then i feel like god is angry with me for like “using” him to relieve my OCD. and that starts a whole other spiral

Yea especially with the "using him to help my ocd" it feels like I'm a horrible person, I'm glad in not the only one :]

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

Anyone religious on here?
im scared. I keep compulsively praying for bad things or death on the people I love. I don’t understand why. It doesn’t make anything better. I’m scared that these prayers count. I seal them as I do with most of my prayers in Jesus name and with a double amen. I’m scared God will want to teach me a lesson and make something come true. I’m scared I mean these prayers, I’m petrified. If something happened, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself :( I don’t know where to go from here

Magical thinking
i don’t want to do my compulsions. I feel like if I don’t somebody will get hurt, sick or die. It’s a very scary thought to feel like if I don’t do my compulsions it will be my fault even though it isn’t & nor will it happen. I know it’s magical thinking & my thoughts are not true nor will they come true. it’s just im so tired of doing these compulsions. im so tired of feeling like I can stop something bad happening if I don’t step on this or touch this 4 times. it even got me believing that if I do something I want to do & love, something bad will happen. I just want to be able to live & feel like I use to. I hate ocd. how can I calm this down so I can be able to navigate in my own life?
