You said you have a relationship with God.. remember who and who's you are. Your not beyond repair, you have a purpose and a fight so you have to put your foot down and hunt your fears down and stop letting them hunt you and corner you. The Lord didn't give you a spirit of fear, but a mind of peace and love and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7 I could of wrote what you wrote above at one point.... I decided to fight and never quit.... we are children of God remember that. Face your fears sit with them ..... you ever need a friend you reach out....
Thank you so muchhh❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow this sounds like myself wrote it
:(💔
I can go to God Most High to hide. I can go to God All-Powerful for protection. I say to you Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.” God you will save me from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases. I can go to you for protection. God you will cover me like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. I can trust God to surround and protect me like a shield. I will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day. I will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon. A thousand people may fall dead at my side or ten thousand right beside me, but nothing bad will happen to me! All I will have to do is watch, and I will see that the wicked are punished. I trust in the Lord for protection. I have made God Most High my place of safety. So nothing bad will happen to us. No diseases will come near my home. God will command his angels to protect mine wherever we go. Their hands will catch us so that we will not hit our foot on a rock. We will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes. The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help. When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will give my followers a long life and show them my power to save.” Psalms 91:1-16 ERV https://bible.com/bible/406/psa.91.1-16.ERV+
sorry if I wrote too much. I just read your post and it really put you on my mind. I hate to see people feel that away. God loves you. We all have sufferings of some form on earth. Nobody is exempt. But there is a peace that surpasses understanding with faith in him.
You don’t know how happy you made me feel ❤️❤️ that you tried and wrote all that ❤️❤️ hope you’re having a wonderful day ❤️
Like you im taking it a day at a time. Stay in touch. I'm glad to take the time. We weren't meant to go at this alone. Love covers a multitude!
Hey I would like to thank you for your words. They led me to verses that truly have shown me that our Lord protects his children. I am in a mind field battle with my thoughts that started off against Him and The Holy Spirit convincing me I was unforgivable and then they became that I am a Satanist and that I don't even believe in God and that I am not a child of God. I ignore the thoughts as much as I can but not setting them straight gives me anxiety and not thinking positive things about our Father makes me also have anxiety. I have had brief episodes is thoughts of other negative nature's but am able to shrug those off quicker and easier. God loves us. I just don't want to have these thoughts against such an amazing Father.
Your welcome and I understand. We have to be able to sit with the thought as uncomfortable as it is and remember thoughts aren't our values... 55,000 thoughts cross the human mind a day, its unthinkable to attach meaning to them all. You live in a fallen world and your exposed to things that you don't like they trigger you. Face them, yes they exist yes they are a reality for some. You serve the God and he has integrity . Use the word as not a compulsion, rewire your mind with the words through a steady relationship . The mind will change. The bible says to renew and transform the mind (Roman's is a great book FYI) Its ever changing.
I read this everyday, at least most at 9am. Strong word of encouragement remember that the word is the sword, and prayer really does work. Don't make it a reassurance , face your fears because your strong and you live in a sinful world where weird distressing things always cross people's minds. People don't share everything, only what they want you to see, even the ones you think are perfect have problems. Some just get good at playing hide n seek with them... you are a warrior and you hunt your fears down and conquer them. Your perspective will determine alot of our outcome. Your normal, your wonderfully made, you have just given yourself to insecurities and worry and its hijacked our way of thinking... GUILTY MYSELF. LET'S turn it around rewire our minds... read books, exercise, pray daily, journal, less tv, walks, be and think on the things you want to be and be INTENTIONAL on doing them. Most importantly face these fears, it's empowering when your pursuing them instead of you constantly feel being pursued... use the tools and your ERP. Expose it, in the bible it says it this way....Ephesians 5:11 English Standard Version 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. God is still in control!
Omg thank you so muchhhhhh🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m out of words 🥺❤️❤️❤️
I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (verses. 38–39)
You have to accept the realities and pains this world has, but in no way does this mean you agree or want these outcomes. God knows your heart friend, he knows the fight your in, you cannot deteriorate or separate the love he has for you. That's the assurance that he left a peace that surpasses all understanding to you. It is a fight, but he gives rest to those who lean on him. There is much healing in true repentance.. we often don't engage that need of repentance as we should. I traveled down a road of understanding that and it has opened my eyes and my ability to be closer to God. Face your fears, and remember we are strongest on our knees.... reach out whenever
Thank you brother. What book is that verse from you originally sent it was a verse that gave me peace when this all started. The OCD started for me as a worrying about having every bad disease known to having a conversation with a coworker about the unpardonable sin and then my mind began to insult . I went to youtube videos to make sure I had not committed such sin. Then as I started to go back to church the thoughts got worse and worse then when then went away they became the thoughts that I am not a believer that I am an atheist, that I reject the love and faith . Sometimes I will be triggered by the mere word reject or renounce as my mind puts beautiful Godly things after these words automatically. All this started and has been going on for about 2 months including the health mind battle. I would much rather worry about having cancer than not loving my God and my Father. I thank you for your comfort.
Which verse?
I found it Romans 8:38-39 .
Paul had thoughts and fears and his works were immeasurable. People think of porn or punching a person at church while praise .... its just a thought.... it doesn't determine the individual you are. If you go do those things it does, if your looking at stuff consistently you shouldn't and opening those doors without attempting not to .... the unforgivable sin is not asking for forgiveness or genuinely repenting.
Yea I was assured I had not committed the sin but my mind at first told me to continue to seek assurance that I had not even though I knew i didn't so it then tried to convince me that I just don't believe and reject and am an atheist and I'm like then why would I be in such stress mind you don't make sense. You are a liar OCD mind. God is good.
I appreciate this I will read Romans. I am such a joking person who loves comicbook movies and superheroes and martial arts now i just feel like everything is wrong to watch and that I have to be doing something that is just in Gods eyes or else I won't feel happy. But everything feels unjust to me now cause I'm afraid of the thoughts it could create. Before I got COVID in December I never had any of this. God knows the trial I am in and when I will overcome. You are right I just have to survive this as He loves me and He shows me mercy everyday. I assume you never dealt with negative thoughts like this ? Or is your OCD different ?
I think you would benefit greatly from reading Roman's. Many have and do. Myself included. It is about knowing who you are in Christ eyes. Love you man... your Gonna have to bear the battle for your mind as you have a enemy who wants it. But take heart in Jesus, for he overcome the world! Your on your way.... face the thoughts sit with them, Jesus did it in the desert for 40 days. It's the Wilderness friend.... you love God, so now you got a fight on your hands. The key here is trust God for the he places the steps of the righteous man
I have had those and I am a person that aspires to help seed hope in others, yet sometimes my issue is I think I could snap and harm those around me.
God is good and merciful. I must always look to him. I know I will make it through. I appreciate the comfort you have shared with me as someone who knows what I'm going through. I never wanted these thoughts but they are to become a trial that turns me into someone who can help others.

I feel like my thoughts have been getting worse and I ruminate a lot. This morning I told myself I wasn’t going to let the thoughts get to me but it’s hard. Than the anxiety kicks in and my heart starts racing so fast and I just have these intrusive thoughts. And I don’t want to do the things I normally do to feel better but I feel like I don’t do my compulsion I will end up doing what my intrusive thoughts are and it scares me. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so scared. I want to get out of this cycle but I lack discipline and strength. I don’t know if I’ll ever get out of this. I want to get better but I can’t seem to ignore the thoughts or the feelings. I wish I could be like some of the people on here who can discipline and know thoughts are thoughts. I’m just so weak minded. It’s so hard, I want my life back before I had all these disgusting thoughts. I want me back and I don’t know if I ever will. I’m scared that erp won’t work for me. I’m just so pessimistic. I’m scared of doing erp and coming out of it realizing I am those things. Everyday I wake up it’s like I’m trying to survive. I worry about when night comes and what will happen if I sleep and if I’ll be able to get sleep. I worry about waking and waking up to me checking to make sure everyone in my house is okay. To make sure I didn’t do thoughts that I had about my family members. I feel guilty being around my family members because of the thoughts I have about them. I’m afraid of being alone with them for too long because I’m scared that the anxiety will get to me and I’ll do something disgusting. I just don’t understand why this happened to me and why I have to suffer. Everyday is a constant battle. I just want to give up or just move away. Maybe even get up start a new life where I just live alone and don’t hurt nobody. This is so hard and I hate it so much. If you read my rant, thank you💗.
I find myself questioning things I’d never question about my life. I’m thinking I’ve actually been driven to contemplate these dark things because my ocd has pushed me over the edge. So it’s kinda that my intrusive thoughts have come true. It’s not fair! I feel super hopeless, then I get scared that I felt that way then the ocd kicks in and I start contemplating things like “it’s all hopeless I feel I am going to carry out (insert violent thought here).”. I don’t get it guys… I don’t have the money for therapy right now so crisis chats and this is my best option. I’ll definitely say ocd and my poor sleep bug habit are what has pushed me to these depths. What I don’t get though is I’m not inherently violent, I thought I was always a hopeful person on the inside, I don’t have depression. That and I love my family, I don’t want harm to come to them but the moment I get the hopelessness it makes me question wether or not it’s worth it. I’m living my worst nightmare. By the way I’m not dangerous, I don’t have any deficits in empathy what’s wrong with me. I’m in denial, I can’t believe I’m capable of genuinely thinking these things. Oh and then I have this suicidal spiral. I’ve had suicidal ocd but now I think it’s also partially true since I’ve been in such a dark spot. I know they say that if you’re not comforted by the idea of sleeping forever it prolly means it’s just ocd and well let me say it’s not comforting. Back to back I’m like “do I want to kill myself? Am I feeling that? Will I do it?” And I feel so hopeless that the thought comes in but no I DONT WANT IT. So it’s like half ocd and half my mental distress. But lord no I don’t want it and I don’t want to live in a reality where I contemplate it. Someone just help me… Why are my emotions so intense I question these things? Ocd is involved I know but I’m telling you this hopelessness had made me contemplate things that ocd wouldn’t typically do. I don’t have personality disorders or any other mental illness. HELP ME!
