What do you do when you questioned something about God or thought something bad about Him and now fear that He will never forgive you, especially since you still have doubts and questions about Him?
God will always forgive you. We’re all sinners but he loves you so much no matter what. Never feel like he doesn’t love you, he loves you so so much.
I struggle with the exact same thing… I have religous OCD. Think about Thomas the disciple. He was a doubter… so many people Jesus chose doubted him, before christ people who faithfully followed God at times doubted him. This is where your faith comes in. We are human and its hard to control your thoughts, we often have wondering minds. But questioning and doubting as a believer is not unforgivable but instead a chance to lean into him and trust, pray through it and strengthen our faith. Iv had very bad hateful intrusive thoughts about the holy trinity, and it was terrifying and painful, but i don’t want those things and i don’t believe those things. I just pray, repent of all knowing sins, ask for conviction, and keep loving and trusting him. God always knows the true us, not what OCD thoughts make us believe about ourselves.
Look up scrupulosity it will help you. Jamie at scrupolosity.com and Mark DeJesus on you tube were tremendous help. I also loved the book I believe in Love by Fr.Jean C.J. D’Elbee
i totally get where you're coming from, and it's okay to have these intrusive thoughts. remember, ocd affects you, it doesn't reflect your values or beliefs 🌼 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? my nocd therapist recommended it when i was going through similar struggles. it provides personalized support, giving specific coping strategies for this religious ocd you're dealing with. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really believe it can help as it's definitely changed my life. lmk if you have qs or just want to chat more! <3
Christians please help if you can My mom and I got into a bad argument or fight and she went to church without me because I told her I didn’t want to go anymore and I got so angry because for months I lost my connection with God. I don’t pray anymore and my life is a mess right now especially with struggling with OCD and mental illness. So I got angry and started throwing things and saying why did God give me this life and if this is the life he gave me (of depression, sadness and anger) then I don’t want it and when I was throwing things I said f u and now I feel so horrible and filled with so much guilt I burst into tears and I asked Jesus to take me back and help me and that I was so so sorry for what I said because I didn’t mean it. I know deep down I still have faith but I feel so horrible I said f u because of what I was talking about and how I’ve been feeling spiritually. Will God forgive me? I feel like I’ve done with unforgivable sin and I can’t take it back but I will beg for Gods forgiveness forever if I have to. I’m so upset and I can’t stop crying. If anyone could help me please I would appreciate it
I think I commited the worst sin. I had no bad intentions but then I realized I might have thought something bad. I'm so scared and I don't know if I'm forgiven. I'm trying not to replay what happened in my head but it's so hard and I'm so scared.
I had such a horrible thought! Sometimes I can’t tell if they’re on purpose or accidental but my mind said a thought about “I reject God” then it said “with your heart”. I immediately started freaking out! I still feel the anxiety and fear. I’m trying so hard not to cry my eyes out. I did cry a bit but I’ve prayed for God & Jesus to please forgive me! I can’t live without them! I love Him so fricking much! To have a thought like that hurts so much! It bothers me! Makes me feel so much guilt and shame! I would NEVER say that or even want to think that but my mind is questioning did I think that on purpose or was it my OCD? Sometimes the blasphemous thoughts “feel” on purpose. Please any advice?! Does God still love me?! Will He forgive me for this thought?
