I believe you have that Courage my friend. I believe the Lord will help you with it. Just read the bible, I know it's hard because I deal with the same thing (mine is a different chapter of the bible though.) read through it ignoring your ocd thoughts, not giving them power. When they come just keep reading. One thing I do use it as a ERP Exercise. I'll take 10-15 mins listening to the chapter I have trouble with while taking a walk. When the thoughts come up I don't react to them. Ride out the anxiety. I keep listneing to the word, no matter how the thoughts get. The Goal for me to do this erp is to lessen the anxiety over time by doing the exposure. You got this and you can read the word and hear the Lord's heart. God bless friend, hope this helps.

Thank you so much!! Do you use an app to listen to scripture? That would be nice while biking ?

Sillybilly I have the same experience as you. It’s with other texts, but it’s the same obsession. The same God that made you and I, made all our shortcomings. We will be better and stronger through learning to overcome. Your thoughts are not always in your control, and he knows that too. They’re ok to have. Especially since they don’t represent your beliefs and they’re just messing with you... but that’s irrelevant, because even if they’re not- everything we have can bring us closer to him. Heaven is filled with beautiful people who try to overcome the challenges g-d has given them- just like you. This is our challenge. And we’re only more beloved because of them

What would it take to be willing to pray and read the Bible despite the guilt?

Yes I do! I use Bible Gateway. I would probably say don't do the Exposure while biking as you should be focused on road when on your bike, but if your just listening to the bible and can handle the multitasking it's up to you. :)

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 don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.
