I doubt God exists (skeptism) I obsess about the skeptism (OCD) Am I wrong? That is what OCD is right?
Anyway when you stop obsessing (ocd) is it possible your faith doesn't come back. Is it possible you always doubt because you have become a skeptic as a product of the OCD. I am still so confused about what OCD is. |

Remember what I said Sis about faith.
Faith is first and foremost a choice, once you commit to saying yes to Jesus he will eventually be the one that gets you through this.
Sis it isn't us that is in control, it is Jesus Christ.
You are one of his precious sheep and Christ said he will never u slip through his fingers, and Jesus cannot lie. It is not in his nature. |

I agree, well said!
The good news is that we can overcome doubt. It is possible.
The obsession might be trying to find a way to overcome an idea which doesn't seem to have a remedy in other ideas at hand. However we can also tackle doubt head on instead of tackling ideas and that gives way to a steady mind in my experience.
Best wishes to you Raven!
