I am a Christian dealing with OCD

Hi 👋 I am a Christian dealing many subtypes of OCD. I wanted to know if anyone has Christian resources or encouraging words/scriptures for people dealing with OCD. I am mentally exhausted. It feels so dark sometimes and feels so lonely and hopeless. I want to travel and enjoy life but can’t overcome my intrusive thoughts. I am terrified of flying by plane. I am trying to be a good mom and wife but this seems so Overwhelming. I am coming to terms with the fact that Jesus may never heal Me from this and I’m trying to find medication that’s a good fit But haven’t yet 😞 just need prayer.

I am a Christian. I often think of Footprints poem . Where The Lord is carrying the person through difficult times, thus only one set of footprints 👣. God gives us what we can handle .✝️🙏

I am a believer, wife and mom of 2 that deals heavily with harm OCD. It has been the fight of my life. We aren’t promised an easy life, but we are promised that he will be with us through it. Sometimes I don’t have the energy to even deal with the thoughts so I will just say the name of Jesus as a prayer. In that moment it’s all I can muster. But god knows our hearts. He knows our battle. And he is always with us. Just like when shadrach, meshach and abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace in Daniel. Jesus was with them. They walked out not even smelling like smoke. OCD feels like a fire in our minds, but he is with us in it. Praying for you friend. You are not alone, and you are deeply loved 💙

I am a Christian who has been dealing with religious OCD most of my life. I believe I am out of OCD now. I would love to share with you what I have learned in this journey. I'm here!! Please write your questions and struggles!! I have found that talking about this with people who understand OCD can help you make huge steps. OCD can make you feel alone. It can be hard to describe to other people. It can seem really weird. We can feel trapped with no way out of the tunnel. But you are not alone!!!! You can get better!! There is so much to talk about. First, here's some resources. I highly recorded NOCD. They always do ERP therapy, which is super important. Have you tried ERP? Do you want me to explain it to you? NOCD takes most insurance. I have used them 3 times. They are very easy to work with. I also recommend Mark DeJesus on YouTube. He is a Christian minister with OCD. His videos were really helpful to talk about these holes in our hearts caused by the pain of OCD. Try him out:) Here's a sample: https://youtu.be/2R9iW_PnvJg?si=E2DLElj-N916ELUU I also recommend Jaime Eckert. She is another Christian with OCD. She runs a group therapy that I was a part of for a long time. It was only $60 a month and was also a Bible study. You might find her YouTube channel and her website helpful. Here a sample: https://youtu.be/RKE4mgscjAg?si=Z228rWK49X8ZVyeu https://scrupulosity.com/ ---------------- You are not alone! Let me know how I can answer any questions you have! I know how much you are suffering. I am so sorry:(:(
