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?

Assuming neither is a compulsion you're eliminating

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. :)

I’m so scared
I can’t. I’m so scared. I don’t want to deny the HOLY SPIRIT. I keep having intrusives that make me question my real intentions.

Self pleasure and intrusive thoughts :/
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
