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.

Interesting
How should I cope. I keep getting bad thoughts about the holy Spirit and I feel so bad and guilty all the time. But I definitely do not want to act on them or even mention them. Ik God loves me, but my mind keeps painting a bad picture of him. I also when I try to be concerned about my bad thoughts, my mind will retaliate and say, how can u be scared of hurting someone u don't believe in. And it is really freaking me out... It's like I'm trying to degrade God or the holy Spirit for no reason. And I think I'm hurting there feelings and I feel hopeless and depressed all the time. And I'm just worried God is angry with me or he sees me as fit for punishment or something.

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
