Intrusive thoughts
Does anyone have any tips on how to move on from intrusive thoughts when you’re constantly afraid that if you ignore them God will be mad at you?

This is my perspective as a Muslim. The problem occurs when you perceive God as a human who experiences emotions like anger or frustration. God created us and our emotions, which are designed to protect us—fear, for instance, helps steer us away from harm. God doesn't need our emotions because He doesn't experience fear; He is All-Knowing and All-Powerful. Therefore, why assume that the Great God would get "mad" at a thought He created or allowed? This assumes He experiences anger like we do.

Sometimes I try this method, when I have an intrusive thought I immediately sing a verse from my favorite religious song , at first I had to force my brain to do it , now my brain does it sometimes without me even noticing

@Nicoleterry Yea that could work but for me it would turn into a compulsion I think..

Mark DeJesus gave me some of the first perspectives on overcoming this🙏 into my journey. Maybe you can check him out on YouTube. Of course he’s only human, but probably the fact that he talks about this he is one of the first in this field, I guess. To me it was helpful. But I also know that God himself was also there the whole time. He was holding me, although I couldn’t give him anything. I’m currently in a better state, but want to learn that God sees me everyday, and when I can’t do anything he is still there. He’s not indifferent to my pain, even though ocd might tell me so.

Struggling just need advice or tips
How do I deal with the thought that my OCD thoughts because of their nature are separating me from God? The one night I couldn’t sleep and prayed about it and just said God if I die and go to hell over this just know I’m doing the best I can. This isn’t me and I don’t want it. — I know that it doesn’t work this way but if you have any advice please share. And also please be nice and respectful of my beliefs. Thank you a struggling Christian.

Religious OCD
Hi! I have Religious OCD, and have been recently needing some tips on how to deal with this painful disorder. I constantly feel like God is telling me to do certain things for example, “don’t go there,” or “don’t do this or else it will be against my plan for your life.” This causes me so much anxiety, and makes me question if I am doing the right things to live according to his will for my life. I’m constantly worried I’m disappointing Him. Also while praying I get thoughts in my head saying I should for example, add for religious practices to my routine. This also causes me stress because while dealing with this disorder, daily religious practices become very overwhelming. I’m worried that if I ignore these thoughts during my prayer, I am ignoring God. I have truly hit a limit where I don’t even know what to do, and am searching for some tips if anybody on here has any. Let’s overcome this OCD together. Thank you
Loveyou23

OCD questions
I don’t known if this are really my intrusive thoughts every time I feel anxious mad I get really disrespectful thoughts about God that I wish I wouldn’t have but they come to my mind like a urge to think or say stuff in my mind I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like they’re really are my thoughts because the thoughts feel like I’m the one really thinking about them. It’s like it gets more disrespectful the more and more I think about these thoughts like if I see an image or something about religion? My mind goes straight to disrespectful thoughts I don’t know what else to do anymore. And no matter if it’s a phrase or something about the Bible, my mind just goes to disrespectful. Thoughts
