Like when Peter tried to walk on water with Christ, he asks us to trust in him even if the troubled sea feels so overwhelming. What I mean is the path to him is one of troubles but one that eventually passes. God loves you and right now more than ever he knows you need him. Seek him and his word
@Viny I’ve heard so many stories of people saying god healed them and I just think will that be me one day or is god will for me to deal with this the rest of my life I’m tired
@Notfun Hey I fully understand you, I'm one of those people but in reality I'm not cured in the traditional sense. I still have OCD and intrusive thoughts. He just taught me how to overcome me, his word gave me peace, that's what's this is all about in the end. He will give peace even during a thunderstorm If you stick with him and have patience. That's his promise. He knows your pain, and is with you. God bless sister/brother
I feel likey friends who are not christians, push me away from god so what do i do
@<3333 I think maybe have people who don’t push you to win if you have to sin to keep it then it’s not from god
@<3333 If someone is pushing you away from God, the best thing for you to do is limit your time with them. I know it’s hard to hear and I don’t know the specifics, but that’s my honest input.
@Catlady Same
At first I thought that God would just make the ocd disappear, he didn’t, instead he taught me how to overcome the fear and ocd and helped me resist it, it’s still hard and I still deal with ocd thoughts but not as much as I used to, but I know that weather he eventually stops the intrusive thought from coming ever or maybe I will deal with ocd my whole life, I know that one day I won’t have it and I’ll have peace in heaven
@Rorybumbum7 Some people say they were completely healed that’s why I’m wondering why idk I so badly wanna trust god but the fear is so much even with meditation
@Notfun I get u, I’ve had to regulate my nervous system too many times to count, in fact I’m trying to regulate it once again bc it’s really easy for me to get into a fight or flight reaction, and it’s hard to get out, I’ve had suicidal thoughts from the ocd just wanting to end it all bc I was so scared and alone, I’ve felt so much fear of the thoughts coming true and I was mad at God, I’ve learned that since ocd feeds off fear and God doesn’t give a spirit of fear, that means even tho ocd is a physical condition it’s also driven by spiritual forces of fear, and we have complete power and dominance over that evil spirit, although u might feel scared and helpless, God says we have power over fear, and fear is also not true, God is love, love doesn’t fear, it can feel really hard to control, but just meditating on Gods word helps a lot, I still feel moments of helplessness but I remind myself, I have power to resist the urges to compulse from a ocd thought, we do not have to give into those thought, but it takes time to train our brain to resist the urge, and it’s hard no doubht, but it can get better
@Rorybumbum7 I was doing good for about I feel like a year and I would only get though before my period for like a week but this week just punched me in the mouth I hade to go back on pills today after a year of being off I was scared god would get mad I got on pills
@Notfun I don’t think he would be angry, I do know he wants us to depend on him, but he knows it takes time, if u feel u need to go on pills to help u regulate yourself that’s okay, personally I don’t like pills I never have because I believe in holistic healing but that’s not to say that pills don’t help, I just think if someone goes in them, it should be temporary until u learn to heal naturally, like if your on them that’s fine he’s not mad, if your doing things to help yourself that’s good, but in the process and your journey with him, as u get stronger and more endurance I feel it would be good to get off the pills, it might be hard but it’s good to test your strength
I'm Christian and I struggle with being close to god a lot but lately I just feel like I will never near a full relationship with god because of this not only that my heart physically hurts because I think about how I want god to allow me to get married and have kids but I don't think that's his will for me I feel like it will never happen and my heart hurts thinking about it and even if god does allow that blessing to come my way l'm afraid I'm going to end up hurting my husband or committing adultery and I'm afraid how he would react to my past and old relationship and ocd I don't think it will ever go away not because I don't think god is powerful enough I know he is I just think he wants that to be my story for the glory of his name and because it keeps me close to him idk I just my heart hurts thinking about not being married and not having kids but l'm trying to accept that in case that isn't his will for me it just really hurts my heart physically im thinking of starting therapy but im scared it wont do anything or God will get upset with me that I couldn’t do it with just him i got put back on pills and im gonna end up going back to therapy i get afraid of death and other things now idk I just don’t wanna upset god
This is for my christian people, I wish there would be a community group for religious people. I wrote another post where I shared that my dog has something, he vomited out the food he ate for 2 days and now he doesnt want to eat, but he is still energetic and playful. But it scares me cause I dont know if its serious or not, we want to wait it out until we take him to the vet, but still if we would take him we have to wait some days... So uncertainty is really hard. I prayed for him and after that I felt like I dont trust that God will heal him, cause there are still uncertainties. Maybe im hard with myself but i expect that trusting means that I dont feel high anxiety and it gives me a feeling of calmness/peace. I dont feel that now. There were many times when i prayed for healing and there were no healing, so then i said i will never ask for healing but to be as God wants it to be and be with me and help me go through it. This helped me until something happened. I follow 2 man who is christian and at first one of them said to me that I need to trust that God can heal, and if i dont then i should work on that. I thought about it but then ignored it, until i heard it from the second person when i asked him about what to do when i have a health problem and the first thing he said was that I have to trust in the healing power of God... and that made me see that I dont trust it. I question it cause there were times when healing did not came, but i dont expect Him to come down everytime and fix my problems. But if I have to be the one who figures out what I have to do and after all that struggle I find it and say "It was God" that makes me question my faith... I can see someone saying that you just labeled it to God when it was you. I dont say this is the truth but how should i trust God will help me when at the end of the day its on me what will happen,many times its on others too and God wont come down and change me or those people. Then how God helps?
Have any of you ever felt like God is perfectly capable of helping you with your mental health, but just chooses not to for some reason, and so you get angry and frustrated? Bc I feel that way sometimes, but i don’t stay mad for too long. But whenever i’m not frustrated, i’m just feeling hopeless, like why is this going on?
