You are secure in Christ and what He accomplished on the cross for all who believe in Him. OCD wants the compulsion. Therefore it picks on things most precious to you so you will react. OCD causes distress because it makes you doubt whatever is undoubtable to you. All of this is outside of who you are in Christ. Eph 1:3-7 (blessed, chosen adopted, redeemed and forgiven) OCD lies. Anyone can think any thought. Our OCD minds make it feel real and cause great distress within us even though there is nothing wrong…Kind of like virtual reality goggles can make you feel like you are experiencing things when really you are just standing in a room. 2 Peter 1:3- really helps me remember that God protects our desires and shapes them. Therefore no matter what I feel, God has sealed me in Him. 2 Timothy 1:7 “God did not give you a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind.” Our job is to overcome this horrible thing of a mental disorder (Satan loves it) and we can thru walking deeply with Christ, ERP and NOCD, reading about others’ journeys (Mark DeJesus) and books on OCD, praying, medication, etc… Praying for you🙏🏻✝️ You are NOT alone💝

I struggle with the same theme. It’s torture! My hope is in God and he knows what is truly in our hearts.

Look up Mark DeJesus! He has so many videos SPECIFICALLY FOR CHRISTANS WITH OCD. He has written several books, one for Christian OCDers. I also wrote a book - "Waging War Against OCD - A Christian Approach to Victory." It's on Amazon if you are interested. In it, I call us OCDers professional self-condemners - we are REALLY GOOD at finding fault in ourselves and then feeling the weight of the worst possible outcome that could result from those faults. We feel that all the burden is on us to make things "just right" again. What we need is an understanding of God's grace. But know that you are not alone. Many Christians struggle with this torment - its called scrupulosity.

Is anyone here Christian?
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.

OCD 'feeling real'
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
