my ocd has really been taking its toll on me lately. i feel completely unloved by God. i use to feel it, but now i just kinda feel a hole. i talk to Him everyday, and read devotionals. i spend time with Him. i just can’t feel Him. i know a relationship with God isn’t based on feelings, but on faith. i guess my faith is running a bit low. i’m just tired and my thoughts get worse. it’s like a roller coaster.
Hang in there your not alone. God is always here even when it doesn't feel like it. I'm the same about religion only I'm always afraid I'll offend him and be punished. Hang in there! Hugs
The Greek word pistis “faith” is better translated as Trust. You don’t need to do anything to be loved. God asks nothing of you and needs nothing from you. He is not asking you to have faith in him or be punished and unloved. He is saying to trust in me, not in yourself. You don’t need to solve anything you need to let go.
Psalm 16:8 I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me The truth is you can’t escape his presence lol and also it sounds like there is a lot you are doing to go to him and that is good but also know He did the work on the cross He came to us and He did it passionately with love He wanted to do that for you because of how much He loves you It’s good you can recognize it’s all OCD and lies take care ❤️
hello my ocd has been really bad lately as well. i’m a believer as well, read my Word, know His truth yet my OCD tries to convince me otherwise. i’ve been ruminating badly that i’m not good enough, im going to hell, im a sinner etc. but salvation is not based on our works. it’s based on our faith in Jesus Christ. hang in there buddy, i pray your OCD lets up same with mine. it’s very hard when faith/ Christ means everything to you but your brain is attacking the Truth you know.
i’m so caught up in figuring out my obsessions because i don’t want them to come true. i have been obsessing over the devil and whether or not he can possess or control me and it won’t go away. i don’t know what to do. i’m so tired all the time and i don’t feel like myself anymore. i can’t keep up with my schoolwork and can barely take care of myself. i’m also in college so it’s hard being on my own.
Hey guys so I’m new to this. I struggle really bad with religious ocd on top of other themes of ocd i have. But the religious ocd and POCD I have are definitely the hardest two. Today was so hard for me because I was freaking out all day about the eclipse and if it was the end of the world. I grew of in a very strict church and being gay was not acceptable so now I feel I’m morally wrong and unlovable in a sense. I don’t really know how to explain it. Wether it was from my youth pastor outing me on stage in front of all of my friends and hundreds of students, to them praying over me for years on end, before I finally left the church. Yet I still question if my salvation is safe or not. I question if God loves me etc. it gets so bad that I’m convinced everything I do is because I’m possessed by a demon. And I’ll start to vomit. Literally vomit. It sounds wild I know. Wether it’s music my ocd deems demonic or movies or spiritual things such as tarot cards that I enjoy. But my mind will convince me if I use them I will go to hell because that’s what I was taught for so long. I just wish I could get better but I don’t know how and I’m so hopeless.
it’s gotten to the point where it’s way too hard to pray. i can’t pray. so many bad thoughts at once and it’s too much and i can’t tell which ones are mine bc there’s too much. I can’t read the bible or anything. and then i get thought that makes me feel bad for not praying or reading my bible and it’s awful. ik God is good but these thoughts are scary and not okay and i’m afraid He doesn’t want me anymore and idk what to do. i try to reason with myself but it only does so much. i just can’t deal with it and ive prayed ab my ocd but it hasn’t gone away
