Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

guys im so scared right now and i know my ocd is making it worse. i keep reading things online about the antichrist and whatever and im so so so scared. i keep reading things and i feel so scared like im choosing a wrong side or something. but i know i love God and Jesus. im so worried im wrong and i have no idea how to overcome this one :( sorry if this scares anyone or anything but any help would be very appreciated

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.

As a Christian there is many times where I struggle with my faith. These days have been quite difficult. I dealt with ocd for a couple of years. Just last year I officially overcame POCD. During this time I had supportive family that took everything I was going through seriously. But before I told them I only told God because I was ashamed of my thoughts and what I was going through. I prayed to God all the time for help. And there was many times where I opened my bible and read, tried to understand, cried and prayed. Though I might’ve not understood the Bible verse I felt comfortable being vulnerable with God in those moments. As I continued to pray I slowly gained the courage to tell my family what I was going through. And slowly I started to open up and gain the support I needed. Fast forward now I’ve been struggling heavily with having faith I often wondered if these things that I say was God was just me. I wondered if God was really guiding me through my family or if it was just them being kind because they felt like it. I struggle with believing that God has help me because I didn’t feel his presence like everyone says they do. Or I don’t hear his voice. Like how do ik what is God or just others free will… I also struggle with reading the Bible. I start for a week or two then stop because I don’t get it or because it’s confusing or hard to comprehend. I just feel like such a bad Christian because some people believe effortlessly whereas I barely have enough faith. I love God and want to follow him I just don’t know why I’m struggling so much right now… I could really use guidance or advice
