Religious ocd

@jj5788 I say the same prayers over about my worries but then I just keep worrying and I know I’m not supposed to but I don’t know how there’s so many different things

@Someone99 Like basically everything I have so many I don’t know what to do. But I always wish I could restart my faith like everyday but all this knowledge that I do know and the rabbit holes I go down then the more I keep learning it’s overwhelming and need to be able to discern everything is so just so much. Like sometimes I don’t want to know certain stuff but I need to

@G C There is an element of mystery to faith. And God doesn't tell us everything, just what we need to know, sometimes at the very moment we need to know it. So there's an element of trust to faith as well. Allowing God to be God, and to be in control. It's not easy, especially when we have OCD mixing it all up. It's always good to seek God, who He is, just the definition of "Holy" is almost impossible for us to fully understand, let alone "omnipresent", "righteous", and other characteristics of God. This is why God sent Jesus to us, to meet us in our humanity so we could relate to Him. Even the thought of Jesus being fully God, and fully human at the same time is difficult to understand. God's voice is never the loudest voice in your mind, in fact it's usually heard in the quiet. Be still and know that He is God... We help you find tools to use with your intrusive thoughts so all that calms down and you can find that peace God promises. It's not God causing you all this anxiety, that's not a "fruit of the spirit", that's OCD. And it can change with some work. God loves you unconditionally, always remember that. Also, I sent 10 "affirmations" from the Bible in another conversation, did you see them?

@Someone99 Yeah I saw them

@G C So can you identify what you fear most? OCD thrives on fear.

@G C Sometimes we tend to apply the large scope were shown in Scripture to us individually. It's important to know first, are you born again? Are you a child of God through Jesus Christ. As children born in to God's family through Jesus, we are "in Christ". Therefore, we have all of God's promises and protection. When we stand before God, He sees the righteousness of Christ, not our sins. We could never come in to the presence of God in our sinfulness, only when we're "clothes in the righteousness of Christ" are we assured eternity with God in heaven. Our responsibility: believe and receive. That's it. We just gotta receive the gift.

@G C Faith as of a little child. That's all it takes to receive the Gift... I pray you find Peace, today, and begin every day in fellowship with God, Abba Father.

@G C And I welcome conversation any time. I will point you to truth in scripture, as best I can. Wish I could invite you to my church, we have a great pastor and assistant pastor who teach as well as live it. :-)

@Someone99 I just feel like I’m constantly afraid and if I’m ignoring my convictions or secret sins that I don’t even know about and things I’m not giving up. And a lot of things are so confusing like when God gives people warnings and dreams to preach to other people when I hear this I get scared and then some people he doesn’t give those to. Some people just seem so wise

@Someone99 And I don’t know if I’m born again because I just repeat sayings all the time and try to pray but what if it’s just words and I don’t mean it. And I know it’s not by our works but if I’m not sacrificing enough for him or being obedient

@Someone99 Like if God ever gave me a warning I think I would have a panic attack. But then I see warning videos all the time from other people

@G C Take videos like that with a grain of salt, self proclaimed "experts" most likely have selfish motives of their own. The most important question any of us will answer at one point in our lives, What will you do with Jesus Christ? The prophesy written about on the Bible is awesome, and can be confusing confusing. Can also be taken out of context so be careful. Pre tribulation, mid tribulation, post tribulation rapture? Will there even be a physical rapture? Had it already happened? On ething for sure is all the technology is in place now as never before in the history of the world. Writings of a cashless society before there was electricity, for example... It's all in place. The only thing we can guarantee is that today is one day closer than yesterday. The most important question is, Who is Jesus Christ to you?
