Here's some verses/chapters that have helped/comforted me! Sorry if its a lot! VERSES: “...I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself." - Jeremiah 31:3. "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." - Exodus 14:14. "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand." - Isaiah 41:10. "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you." - Isaiah 43:3. "The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — whom should I dread?" - Psalm 27:1. CHAPTERS: Psalm 27 & 46. Isaiah 41 & 43. Jeremiah 31 (Jeremiah 31 is my favorite, says God will never reject us and will always extend faithful love toward us).

I have a lot of verses also but my therapist told me I can't use them in my erp to help me through them. Still, I pray in the morning and after my session for guiding me through. I like With God, All Things Are Possible. I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me. Be Still, And Know That I Am God, I Will Be Exalted Among The Heathens, I Will Be Exalted In The Earth. I have many more. God Did Not Give Us The Spirit of Fear, but of Power, and of Love, and of a Sound Mind. That's what I'm working on......a Sound Mind....I've gone through depression and anxiety over 20 years ago and with help was able to live a number of years with one anti-anxiety pill and one antidepressant until 3 years ago. In a matter of two years I had three surgeries and the last one was a knee replacement. During PT on the knee replacement I got anxiety really bad and then depression and now OCD. I have been in a car accident and broke my neck (same as Christopher Reeves). My son broke the same bones. I have been through a lot, could probably write a book. Didn't mean to ramble. Just know God has been with me through it all, and he will get me through this as well. Probably didn't help much but I will pray for your healing.

Hello! Thank you for sharing, it did help... just wondering, but why can’t you use verses during erp?

@iluvfall Something to do with compulsions and you're not supposed to use them during erp. You're just supposed to sit with the uncomfortable feeling of anxiety until it subsides

So I am a practicing Catholic, and I've gotten into reading the Bible this year, praying the Rosary, things like that, and while I love to do that, my OCD has been seeming to take over, in ways such as like I have to read the Bible for a certain amount of time before I'm satisfied with the time read, or something along those lines, and it's starting to make the thought of praying and reading the Bible unenjoyable, which is really hurting me inside, because I used to and want to enjoy it so bad, but now this is making it really hard to, because it feels like I don't have control over my own thoughts, and little things trigger the thoughts, it's just so annoying. If there's anything anyone thinks I can do to combat this please let me know.

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.
