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 :)
Thank you so much to everyone for their support.
God bless you guys. This battle will make our minds stronger.
Hi there! I’m a Christian if you want to chat.
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!
Today I’ve been having that a lot lately! Recently been having Satan/demon heart thoughts and it’s scaring me! I love God & Jesus and I tell them all the time they have my heart but recently those thoughts have come and it’s giving me anxiety! I’m trying to tell myself you don’t just accidentally let S____ in your heart but I feel like it’s a fear of evil or it “happening”! I don’t want Him near or ever in my heart! But I feel like my OCD is making me doubt myself thinking I want these thoughts or maybe I want that or what IF I’ve already done it! Like some new theme coming on. These nasty thoughts keep coming back!! Also my mind keeps thinking and questioning it straight up accusing me if I did it! I’ve apologized and beg God & Jesus to please forgive me. How can I let these thoughts go! I don’t want them! Am I okay? I only want God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit in my heart NOT the enemy. Has anyone else had these thoughts?
Does anyone else get really bad thoughts that attack the holy Spirit. I hope I am not the only one. These thoughts scare me because they come in all different ways they disappeared for about 4 days, and one day they came back and they are worse now than they have ever been. They keep attacking him, ever chance they get. I can't pray, go for a walk, or watch tv, or even talk to people without negativity towards him. Like my thoughts keep blaming him for everything, I can't get rid of these thoughts. What makes me sad the most is when I'm tired I can't fight them and my biggest concern is that it's coming from me. I'm worried about what the thoughts say about me. Do I mean to have these thoughts. I can't seem to be happy. I feel lost and scared that I have done something wrong to make God mad at me. My parents won't let me get therapy, I'm all alone. I'm nervous and anxious about my thoughts. And I pray but I can't find peace. I hope everyone who is going through this never has to go through this the way I am.
I love and believe in Jesus. I always have believed in Jesus. I don’t know why my thoughts are saying that I don’t believe anymore. I think it might be because I feel like I’m so close to a breakthrough from OCD and spiritual warfare, but I have no idea. I feel like God is going to deliver me soon, so the devil has been attacking me more. I don’t know, but I seriously am so scared. If you’re a Christian, please give me advice.
