Trust in Jesus!
Jesus can help you beat your OCD, even if it’s so hard. If you have been praying for a sign to trust Jesus Christ again, this is it!

My relationship with Jesus is not where I would like it to be. All I want is Him and to function as i should in the body of Christ. I want Him to draw near to me again. I keep thinking that it’s because i am with my girlfriend and that i should break up with her to be close to Him again. Idk if this makes sense. But thank you for your post. Really trying to trust Jesus in all this. It’s exhausting and driving me crazy.
@protoevangelium I understand. I’ve been working on my faith in Jesus too. I feel like OCD makes me afraid of God rather than worshipping him and functioning well in the Body of Christ. I was trying to give people who struggle like me some encouragement with my post 😊✝️
This is so common, really! If you haven't heard of Jaimie Eckert - she is amazingly good at understanding so many issues we face as Christians with OCD. Here is a detailed post she wrote that I think you will find both relatable and helpful! https://scrupulosity.com/idolatry-obsessions/
@Kaila Conquerors OCD - thank you, I needed the encouragement. I will trust my Savior Jesus.
@Waging War Against OCD - thank you!
Love this! It’s just so difficult when dealing with awful blasphemous thoughts! It makes me feel so disgusted with myself & that how can He love me with these thoughts? Is He still with me? Will He forgive me? It’s been difficult especially with those doubts coming up. Sometimes I feel like I’m more scared of Him instead of remembering He loves us no matter what & nothing we do, think or say will change that. I just wish these awful thoughts will go away. Especially those evil blasphemous ones! They bother me so fricking much & make me feel like the worst christian or how could I call myself a Christian with these awful thoughts but I try to remind myself Martin Luther, John Bunyan, Charles S & so many Christians deal with blasphemous thoughts.
@Cammy123 This is so relatable ❤️ thank you for sharing
All - I am noticing there are several Christians in these post responses, so I thought I'd shamelessly promote my book :) It's called Waging War Against OCD - A Christian Approach to Victory. You can see more details at WagingWarAgainstOCD.com Also, I recommend looking up Jaimie Eckert and Mark DeJesus on Youtube. They are both Christians and have lots of wisdom on how to deal with these issues.
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.
Hi I have a question. I love jesus he changed my life and Made me a better person but my ocd loves to confuse me so I have a problem where I remember something in the past and I repented ofc but not it makes me question my intentions and my ocd always puts the are you lying to God card which makes me super scared and then doubt occurs and I'm so exhausted I misinterpret a lot like the voice of God I keep hearing tell the truth and repent now that's it all Good if it were true see ik I'm telling the truth not because of some feeling it's because ocd's version is so ridiculous but It feels soo real I just Want go to God without feeling this fear if I'm lying to him and I fear if somehow I'm wrong. So much anxiety and questions like what if that is gods voice what if I'm wrong pls pray for me and I see videos and I'm scared if that video was sent to me by God telling me to "tell the truth" I say that because my ocd is causing me to doubt the truth being that ocd is wrong
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.
