My dad told me that all you have to do to get rid of a mental illness is to pray to God and worship him. But I told him I tried that and I don’t even remember what happened after that but he basically kept going on and on about how there’s different demons for everything and now I’m starting to doubt myself and my struggles and idk I’ve got into this subject myself and researched it and there are other Christians who struggle with mental illness who have prayed and also take medication and go to therapy so uh idk my dad just he’s ugh I mean I like him more than my mom but sometimes he can be eh Yaknow what I’m saying

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.

Amen! It shall be so. God bless you @LaPink

Aw and yes praying gives you strength and comfort that everything is gonna be ok ❤

Thanks guys. I feel a little better now and I’m sorry you had to go through that

Yes yes I prayed today and everyday I make sure to be nice to everyone and not yaknow be rude to anyone and yeah I’m still working on it but I think I’m getting a little better. I actually feel pretty good right now ever since I prayed a couple hours ago about my OCD so that’s good too

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
