It's not just about praying and worshipping Him. It's about putting your heart mind soul AND faith in HIM. He is the almighty God. Nothing is impossible for Him. He created us. He knows our anatomy. He can tweak anything around including our ocd! The problem is man who lack faith! faith the size of a mustard is sufficient enough to apply God's word into your life! I may sound like a broken record but i don't think it's been understand that" By his stripes we have been healed" !!! while god points Out our virtues Satan points out our weaknesses like ocd. Ocd is an attack of the enemy against us. IT DOES NOT ever come from God. God's plans are to prosper and never to harm us. He made us according to His image! Does He have ocd? No! There's more to spirituality than just believing in God. You need to follow Him and apply His word to your daily life.

When I was 8 and had contamination OCD very bad, my grandfather took me to church to be “prayed upon.” This is basically the evangelical version of an exorcism; the pastor puts oil on your head and hits your forehead a few times with his palm or fingers, as a large crowd of people pray and scream loudly around you. My grandfather did not believe therapy or medications were helping me. He wanted the pastor to “pray off” the mental illness. I was terrified. The experience was very traumatic. I felt shame and guilt about my OCD for the first time and have carried that stigma with me well into adulthood. The point I am trying to make is this: I don’t believe any god can cure OCD; there is no cure. There can be healing properties to faith but modern science must be embraced in order to experience recovery. Do not allow your father’s religious views cause you years of uncertainty and turning your back from treatment, because it will only prolong your suffering. Trust me, I learned that the hard way.

Yes Amen!!! Keep believing for your healing. Lets not let the enemy fool us in telling us we will have ocd forever that is a lie from the pits of hell! God will give us the desires of our heart. We WILL be healed in Jesus name @LaPink

If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.

I been going to church looking for answers about my false memories if they are even false and overall ocd. Everything that I'm learning about ocd ultimately I get told that it's due to sin and that's why I feel overwhelmed and have the urge to confess on things idk if they are real or not. I just dont know whats my truth my mind Is saying one thing but I need a lot of confirmation if what im thinking its true thats why i been seeking confirmation going to church. Would appreciate a response or if anyone is going through this 🙏

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
