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.

HELP: Religious OCD and guilt advice?
I’ve been struggling with religious OCD for the past month or so (blasphemous intrusive thoughts, fear of going to hell, etc). I’m a Christian. I’ve been in ERP and I’m learning to let the thoughts just be which is hard, but I’m struggling with the overwhelming feelings of guilt about having the intrusive thoughts. I know the thoughts aren’t from me and don’t reflect my true self, but sometimes if feels like I’m bringing the thoughts on if that makes sense. Does anyone have any advice on overcoming the guilt? OCD is also telling me I’m never going to get over this and my relationship with God will never be the same. I just want to be able to praise God without all of this and it’s making me incredibly sad and lonely. Any words of encouragement are appreciated.

Bad thoughts about God
I have intrusive thoughts about God. But sometimes it seems like I do think them myself. I don't agree with them. But it's like I get too exhausted to fight anymore, or when my mind calms down, I don't feel right without the thoughts so I think them myself and idk why. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell.

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.
