I sometimes for the same. But just remember, God is loving and understands our problems. Pray that your problems will go away, someday they will. It has happened to me. I still do things that are against God and I know I shouldn't. It's hard, but you can do it. ❤️

I’m in the same spot right now. I had a good relationship with God throughout the summer and now it’s just ruined because of me. Idk if you Christian or not, but I’m Christianity we believe that we (followers of God) can’t overcome sin by ourselves. We can’t win, but Jesus can. All things are possible with God. Everything. All Christians just have to do is believe in Christ and trust him that he will set us free. It’s all very beautiful, I just wish I was a better Christian.

This is what I dont understand. We cant win by ourselves, but with Jesus we can, but what should we do when we are suffering temptation, just hold on and try not to sin? Thanks for the reply, God bless you

@Hoping for the best “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41 So basically when you are feeling tempted get into the presence of God, or just welcome God into your room. Or you can open your Bible and read, listen to worship music. And remember to pray pray pray! I really recommend fasting because it really makes your spirit stronger. It’s not easy, especially in the moment.

@Hoping for the best And please don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall. We are not perfect and never will be. God doesn’t expect perfection from us. What matters if you try your best.

I think the fact that you are feeling like you will never measure up demonstrates that you care about honoring God. OCD attacks the things we care about - I understand this to a degree because I struggle with scrupulosity. Christianity is different because there’s no “+” for salvation - it’s just Jesus....admitting you’re a sinner and that He is Lord and that without Him you are hopeless. Good works are fruit that you bear...a demonstration of Christ’s work in you and the Holy Spirit working in you and through you. But, don’t listen to Satan and the OCD...you can’t ever earn your salvation and it’s evident that you desire to serve God. He knows your heart and if you’ve accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, you’re reconciled with the Father because of the death of Jesus on the cross. Don’t let OCD lie to you.

Last night when I was laying in bed, I was just thinking about my religion. I’m a Christian and for some reason, I said a bad word in my mind about God I’m not gonna type the word on here. I can barely even say it. I just don’t understand why I thought that And I prayed for forgiveness sometimes I feel guilty. Sometimes I don’t. I don’t understand why I said that I know it’s not true. I know I don’t mean it, but what if I did what if God is going to punish me now for that thought I know we’re human and we make mistakes but I just can’t forgive myself for this. I haven’t been able to think about anything else. I’ve been miserable since this happened. I’m just so done and I don’t know what else I can do.

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....

About 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one until then. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts, then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I feel so trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I’m in a constant struggle of fear, anxiety and sadness. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Please help. I feel so numb and don’t know what to do. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?
