When i think different thoughts then i will think bad thoughts about God. If i close my Eyes, my head or me will think or say bad thoughts toward God If someone give me verse i feel numb like it is still there. The more i think God the more it back Its just so hard to ignore because im still thinking it 'It is okay to not to think God first? 'It is okay not to think God everyday about His love?
Sorry you're dealing with this. Blasphemous and intrusive thoughts about God are nothing new, even many saints throughout history have had to deal with them. Intrusive thoughts often attack whatever we highly value, so it makes sense that they would attack your faith. Some intrusive thoughts come from external entities (demons) and they are intelligent entities that know what will hurt our relationship with God and trouble us. Try letting these thoughts float by or dismissing them, and then re-focusing on God. I believe intentional prayer is the best way to defeat these thoughts and to deal with spiritual warfare. In prayer, you can give the thoughts directly to God, you can pray non-compulsively for help, etc... "God you know my heart" + "God please help me to dismiss these blasphemous thoughts" + "Lord you know these thoughts aren't mine, please help me to leave them at your feet" + "Lord help me in this spiritual warfare, to cast these cares upon You." The best thing for my faith over time has been quiet, intentional, reflective prayer. You can do this!!
If I may ask, which faith do you follow?
Im a christian
@Kizuu As a Muslim, it's important to remember that those thoughts do not originate from you and do not reflect your values or true beliefs. The real you has already spoken by rejecting those thoughts. If these thoughts continue, I recommend seeking help from a therapist
I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.
Have you ever been through Very bad thoughts about your brain wants to twist anything about good or bad like evil and good which is god and sat*n and panicking because you believe In god but your brain is messing with you have you ever felt like you're afraid you had commit blasmphy in your thoughts It's very bad thoughts like omg where does these toughts come from?? Please tell me your experience One moment I feel okay and I can pray and vent to god and other moment I'm so ashamed of myself for thinking like that Am I alone in this am I crazy?
I have religious OCD and the thoughts have been becoming really bad. I’ve been hitting myself punching myself screaming quietly if that makes sense pulling my hair out talking to myself nonstop. I can’t even hang out with my family without doing these things or going to another room to do these things, these thoughts of overtaking my life I will always be Christian God is most important to me and I’m so scared because these thoughts are terrible. They’re disgusting they never ending. There’s always something going on in my mind. I don’t understand. I’m scared. I’m turning into a bad person. I don’t wanna dishonor the Lord God, I don’t know if this is just OCD or something else.
