Honey, it sounds like you have a lot of guilt mixed in with your OCD… Do you see a therapist? If not, you should. *hugs* PM me any time if you need to chat.
Ur problem is very similar to that of mine. I can understand how u feel Bt dont worry u r not offensive neither r u offending God. Just do what u feel to bt dont feel guilty…bcs everyone of us here knows that its our OCD that makes us feel guilty most of the time while there is actually nothing to be guilty of in real. So try to forget ur guilt and be happy. have a nice day ahead
There is nothing to feel ashamed of in your fear. I pray as well often as a form of release to deal with my own OCD. God understands what is in our heart and He knows what is real. Don’t feel bad.
your a good person who has a HYper thinking problem. You sound like your not felling well or tired in your case… The news is hard to watch… We have been taught to pray…. and that helps us to control a suituation that we cannot even fathom trying to help or fix. Prayer is something that works but we dont know how…and it feels good. I dont htink your bad I think that your OCD is acting up and you need a relaxation teqnique or meds to help you throught the hard itme .
I think you sound confused. We do pray, because it gives us comfort, If you feel guilty for getting comfort , I’d say that was your ocd taking the comfort you gained away from you. God is bigger than that, he doesn’t offend and he doesn’t withold. You got these ideas from reading biblical tract. Remember that all that has been written about God was written by a human being just like us. You got their interpertation of God. You don’t have to accept such an interpertation. I think your ocd demands you do. Treating ocd is not my realm. But I have a suggestion. After your prayers, get pen and paper and write yourself a gratitude list. I am grateful that I can see, breathe, eat , get comfort from my prayers. You get the idea. Make the list as long as you can, I am grateful that the sun came up or I’m grateful it rained, we needed the rain and so forth. Keep writing your gratitude list until you feel its peace. Your last sentence might be I am glad I found peace.
