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.
OCD often makes me feel distant from God. I often feel unforgiven, unloved, and even hated. In my head I often view God as someone who hates me and who is always constantly disappointed in me. My relationship with him feels like an Obligation now more than a relationship. I’m always on the cusp of becoming an atheist, but I always draw myself back because I don’t want to give up my faith so fast, even if it’s been 4-5 years of living like this. I’m often at war with myself daily. There is never a day that I feel as though if I do one small thing whether it be buy something or eat something that I’m going to end up in eternal damnation. And even though I know it’s only OCD and it’s cognitive distortions, I still feel uneasy.
Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?
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.
