I’m scared bc nothing is going right for me today. I feel like that’s sign. I think I anger god again bc I asking if he wants me to do prayer again, heat me up bc I’m was sitting in the sun.

I’m scared bc when I was praying, I was trying to get in. Then I feel like I wasn’t trying hard enough or do enough bc I was lying in bed comfortably, using my half asleep brain to pray. I was not sorry and I didn’t have any feeling but I want to tell him that yesterday i disrespected him. And I’m scared that something will happen to me.

Don’t do the compulsion. Sometimes we don’t take things seriously. Oh well.

@drStrange.One.2678 A compulsion is anything you do to temporarily make your anxiety/obsessive thought go away. But if you do the compulsion it’s going to keep coming back and get worse and worse and you’re going to end up praying all the time and have new compulsions and obsessions too. You have to accept the fact that you don’t know. Maybe it is a sign. Who cares? You can’t live your life just doing a bunch of shit you feel like you have to do just so you won’t be anxious for the moment. It’s not worth it.

@drStrange.One.2678 Why does it matter if you were aroused. Why does it matter if you were “disrespectful.” First of all, you don’t really have that much control over getting aroused. If you’re thinking about not getting aroused you can become aroused. And I have a hard time believeing that God is so strict and awful that if I make a “mistake” during prayer than I am just horrible. I don’t believe in a God like that. And if God is really that strict then I can’t live up to those standards.

I use to do that. It was very time consuming and frustrating. I know the struggle.

This wasn’t an ocd intrusive thought necessarily. It wasn’t really a well thought out prayer either. I was in the middle of a prayer obsession. I was thinking of things I could pray for. I wanted to die, so without really thinking it out too much I thought “please let world war 3 happen, amen,” and then didn’t really care and regretted it afterward. It feels insignificant to me, but it’s bad to most people. This is a common thing with a lot of prayers and I’m not sure why. I’m not normally a malicious person. I don’t know if the difference is people think I care a ton when I do them, sit down and have a connection with god, and say them. I’m not very religious and know nothing is going to happen. This has happened for other prayers too. I don’t have a desire to keep praying for stuff like that to happen, but I did, and I did stuff like that for a lot of other things too. And I meant it in the moment, but couldn’t have care less 2 seconds afterward.

im scared. I keep compulsively praying for bad things or death on the people I love. I don’t understand why. It doesn’t make anything better. I’m scared that these prayers count. I seal them as I do with most of my prayers in Jesus name and with a double amen. I’m scared God will want to teach me a lesson and make something come true. I’m scared I mean these prayers, I’m petrified. If something happened, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself :( I don’t know where to go from here
