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!

Is anyone here Christian?
If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.

Religious OCD, ashamed of my thoughts
I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.
