I’m so scared
I can’t. I’m so scared. I don’t want to deny the HOLY SPIRIT. I keep having intrusives that make me question my real intentions.

Sorry you're going through this. Try to take a step back and simply rest in the Lord. Remember he tells us to cast all anxiety upon him (1 Peter 5:7). Try to pray calmly and slowly, trusting God. "Lord I love you, I need you, you are my foundation." "You know all things and you know my heart." "You tell me not to fear, help me to leave this anxiety at your feet." Pay attention to the nature of your prayer. If you are very frightened, and are praying for the same thing over and over again, or repenting of the same thought many times per day - that is *compulsive* prayer. You are using prayer as a short-term compulsive response to anxiety in a way that is not truly addressing the problem - our inability to accept uncertainty. Make sure you're praying slowly, calmly, trying to trust, focus on each word. If your prayer looks more compulsive, then you need to resist praying in that fashion, and try to sit with the uncertainty and resist compulsions. You can do this. One moment at a time. God bless.
@JB1020 Thank you so much
I struggle with the same thing. I think the fact that you care about it and are worried about it is a sign that you haven’t committed it. But I know with OCD sometimes that is not reassuring. I know it is so tormenting, but what helped me is realizing these intrusive thoughts are not my thoughts. But it feels so real sometimes. It sucks. God has been faithful and has brought me through very hard seasons of these thoughts. Something that has comforted me is that we as believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit. And also just reading the promises of God, like Isaiah 43, Romans 8:15, Colossians 3. Psalms 91, Deuteronomy 31:6. God bless, I will pray for you✝️🙏
@CJ_022 Thank you so much. We’re in this and we will overcome this together! ❤️✝️
If the Spirit 'is' Holy, nothing you could do on purpose or on accident could change their unconditional love for you. You're talking about it and practicing. ^_^ Keep it up!
Helppp😭 what do I do? I'm going to hell for blasphemy. I can't get it to stop and that's the sin that is unforgivable. How do I beg the holy spirit, I have prayed many times? Please can he have Mercy on me? I didn't do it intentionally. I don't want to do it or or go to hell. I can't even go to sleep rn because I'm scaredd... please am I alone😭😭 please someone say something 😭🙏🏼 I'm a believing Christian and can't believe I'm doing this...I have failed...I keep on saying derogatory stuff about HIM, please helpppp
I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.
im so afraid. someone said that blasphemy of the holy spirit is when you say something thats untrue. and my ocd is having a field day with it. i believe God is amazing, great and forgiving. however why are my thoughts this way, it gives me anxiety down to my toes and makes me want to vomit. im sorry if this triggers someone or anything. God Bless, Jesus Loves You.
