Religion

From my perspective, it alleviates both fear and grief because everything is ordained by God, so there's no need to worry about what has already been determined. It also aids in accepting uncertainty by trusting in an All-Knowing Entity, who embodies Absolute Truth and certainty, known as God.

I've kind of had a "falling out" of religion as of late but there was a 2 year time period when i was as close to God as i could've been. He helped me out of my ruts, He helped me stay calm and focusing on Him and our relationship gave me a purpose and a sense of security, I knew that no matter what I thought about He understood my heart and what I truly wanted or needed. He knew my struggles and I wasn't alone. That was my experience anyway

Yes, ocd is hard as are many things inife! I really feel.whole heartedly that God and my religion (Catholic) has gotten me as for as I have come. If I told you all that I have been through younwould not BELIEVE it. Yet, Inam still here and I give thanks to God for that! Did anyone ever heard of St. Padre Pio??? Look him up. He believed in not worrying!!! He has many pray etc but one he would always say is, "PRAY, HOPE, ABD DON'T WORRY!" One daybat work a customer cane up to me and said she had sonething fir me. She reached in her purse and handed me a coin with Paste Pup's PUCTURE on it and this prayer on the back! She said he mom had handed them out w

Sorry...my phone sent without me finishing. Anyway, she handed me a coin that had Padre Pio' s picture on it and this prayer on the back. Then lady told me he mom had handed these coins out when people were trying to get Padre. PIO canonized a saint! She said she had one left in her purse and she thought shed should give it to me. It was many years since this coins were being handed put....butbthe factvshe had one left and said she wanted to give it to me touched my heart! I told her I was going through so much and the fact she chose me to give that coun to wash unbelievable!!!! Her mom had died she told me some years earlier but she had one voin left.....and gave it to me...a stranger! She was never in your store abd never returned! I often pray to SaibtbPadre PO, God, Jesus, Mary, St. Rita thecsaint of the impossible, abd St. Jude the saint if hopeless cases. I pray you all the saints but those are some. I firmly believe TV at all i have gone through abd SLL I am going through I a for s the have been helped and am being gelped! OCD is hard abd it effects my entire life. However, I am getting stronger and HAVING God,,Jesus, Mary, and all the saibts and angels on my side when things get tough is just now I AM GETTING THROUGH THIS! My family does nit help. They ridicule me. They havecno understanding, compassion, empathy. With God, Nary,,Jesus, tgecangeks abd saints....I feel they see what I am going through abd they don't judge me. They help ne get stronger! I can donthis...AND YOU ALL CAN, TOO!!! :D
