I’m there with you. One of the hardest things with OCD is wanting to try and figure it all out and as Christians we can go back and forth between is this spiritual or is this physical? I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s both. I understand feeling like your going crazy. You aren’t. It’s just hard. Keep believing that God is for you and works all things out for the good of those who love Him. I know that it’s so hard to believe some of these things when your mind feels convinced that something is terribly wrong. But I sometimes cling to a quote by Martin Luther (who also had OCD). “Peace if possible, truth at all costs”

You’re not alone in this. I love God and Jesus very much, and I also have had some of the worst thoughts I could ever think to have because of this disorder. It doesn’t make us bad people, it makes us children of God with a disorder. He knows our heart and that we don’t mean these things, no matter how convincing our mind is. Our minds trick us into thinking we’re bad when we really truly aren’t. He will get us through this ?

You’re definitely not alone. I’ve struggled with religious ocd /scrupulously for most of my Christian walk. But just as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, God’s grace is sufficient for us and our challenges with OCD. He still smiles when He thinks of us and loves us just the same. I’ve written about it on my blog :)

Hi, also Christian here! You’re not alone at all and God loves you more than anything! He can tell the difference between your beliefs and intrusive thoughts. I’m actually struggling with a compulsion right now where I need to screen shot anything with Their names in it (right now it’s the name Christian because I keep thinking a bad thought every time I screen shot it) but I know recovery is possible and screen shotting their names doesn’t change the fact that I thought these things. What we need to do is ask for forgiveness and move on as hard as that sounds! But anything is possible with Them!

It’s been hard. I feel so trapped. I felt okay about a week ago. But these thoughts are really hitting me hard. Especially doubt too. Doubt if God & Jesus loves me because of these awful blasphemous thoughts! Doubts if I’m his child! Doubts if I am saved! I feel like I’m thinking then on purpose but I don’t want these thoughts! They bother me so much! It’s like a tick or Tourette’s in my brain. I also have thoughts switches I’ll say I love god but then it’ll changed to something so evil is gross :( It feels like I don’t have a relationship with God anymore or like I don’t know how to anymore. It makes me sad and stressing me out. I obviously try not to think awful things but the more I try not too the worse they are. I just feel so lost. I was so on fire and felt like my faith for God & Jesus was unstoppable but now I feel like I’m so far or how could he possibly love me anymore. How could I have these thoughts :(

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
