No matter what you have done, if you ask for forgiveness God WILL forgive you. For example, Paul, one of the most prominent New Testament bible figures was responsible for the deaths of many Christians, and yet he asked for forgiveness and was forgiven and moved on to do amazing things. God's grace through Jesus is greater than any wrong we could do, and when we ask for forgiveness, He entirely erases our sins, and so we should consider them wiped out too, although this is difficult. When you accept Jesus he is able to forgive you all your sins, both past and future and your belief in Jesus is what will grant you access to eternal life with God, not anything we could do. Jesus suffered on earth in the human form and so he understands what it is like for you, and so God does as well. Hope this helps and wasn't too confusing, will pray for u and I hope you're doing ok and persevering
He knows it's your OCD and you can't help it, don't worry.
Oh man can I relate to you infinity percent ? I feel like my ocd made me do something I knew would trigger me as well just to get rid of a current theme i had. It's brought me immense guilt ever since. That's the same thing I tell myself in my head but with pocd. Sometimes I get the same feelings of not being worthy of God nor heaven. But at the end of the day I know that's not what God's word says and anything that says otherwise is a lie from the pits of hell. I'm a Christian who relies on God for everything including my ocd. He's my one and only hope for recovery really. Without Him i would've most likely turned crazy.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I couldn’t look right away because I knew it would set it off. Reading your comments made me uncomfortable and then even worse made me happy, I actually got excited thinking I was going to find out someone did something the same as I did. Which made me for a second question if I didn’t care I did it, and writing this is making me feel sick, and then I think what if I don’t feel sick really? What if I just Hope I do? Which is because it takes a while to even feel grossed out anymore, I usually get an initial feeling of liking it which I know is also OCD. I’m just so numb to it all.
I hope reading that doesn’t set anyone’s OCD off ?
Hi guys Been having a hard time lately with my religious ocd today. I went to church yesterday (personally I didn’t feel like going) but I went for my mom. And I’ve been angry at god and Jesus. There have been a lot of changes lately that have been stressing me out. I have a disability that I need nursing to watch me all the time. I will talk about that another time. It’s lent and they were just talking about how you have to go to confession or you will go straight to hell when you die. It struck my religious ocd like crazy. Personally I believe that if you feel badly and talk to god about it. You don’t have to go to confession. Cause your confessing to god. I’m 25 now and I graduated collage at the age of 23. Which was the most exciting thing ever. But when I was in freshman or beginning of sophomore year I was having a hard time with the transiting of college even though I commute. The reading was a lot for me and even in high school I hated reading and it took me longer to get threw the homework. We had an essay that we had to get done with reading it was nuts. And I couldn’t get it done. My mom also had to go to the emergency room because of her high blood pressure and they thought she was having a heart attack. it was nuts at the time. So I made a horrible choice and cheated on the essay because I couldn’t find the damn chapter in the book for the last question and it was due at 12:00am and I was cutting close to the time. I was caught but the professor gave me a second chance and I got a B+ on the essay. I feel horrible and guilty still for doing it. And graduation was hard for me cause I felt I didn’t deserve it at all. My mom doesn’t know about this at all since she was really sick at the time and I didn’t want to stress her out any more then she was. I pray to god and Jesus to forgive me. I tell myself Jesus gave me a second chance and I showed him that I will do the right thing. But I still feel guilty and I replay it in my head all the time. Do you guys think I’m going to go to hell for cheating. Or do you think Jesus forgives me. I’ve been worrying about it all night. Thank you for your help.
I made a huge mistake in the past. Going into it I didn't know at the time how bad the mistake was until a long time later. I so badly wish I could go back and fix it and change it. I hate myself and I feel like I deserve to die. I talked to my parents about it and they told me that I need to just let it go and stop beating myself up and that I've punished myself enough but I can't seem to shake it off and move on. I'm a Christian so I do believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins but why do I feel so bad. I feel so guilty. I would NEVER make the same mistake again knowing what I know now. Do I deserve a second chance? Is it possible that OCD can make it worse than it actually is? I need help 😭
Can someone please respond to this.. Has anyone ever acted on a thought? I have and I believe it to be a horrible sin, as it is mentioned as one. How do I forgive myself? It is a really weird thing because when it happened I was in such a dark place. I honest to God should have been locked up. I had been self harming and attempted suicide around this time too. I had expressed to my mother how mentally unwell I was and she didn’t take it seriously at all. I don’t want to blame her but I know for a fact if I was taken seriously it wouldn’t have happened. My mind was screaming at me to do things all day long in a way I can’t even explain. My ocd is still with me every day but 9-10 years ago when this was happening it was BAD. I Didn’t have thoughts of my own. Only ocd. Id take sleeping pills to keep myself asleep and id have dreams of doing bad things. So I convinced myself I needed to see if I enjoyed it so I did it to see. Turns out nope. Didn’t like it it was just ocd. And that sin has cost me my mental sanity and love for myself. If anyone has gone through this how did you forgive yourself? Do you think god will forgive you? I know I’m not supposed to ask these things but despite what it says I actually get peace from reassurance. And I know I’m not the only one.
