God's Truth That You Need to Rest In
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." Romans 8: 15
Who Am I?
Hi there, I have suffered with OCD for a few years now, and I my heart goes out to all of you who are suffering. I have started this blog to tell others how God has shown be how to combat OCD.
Just so we are clear I do not have any formal training in the area of psychiatry or counselling. Don't click the back arrow just yet! I do have some experience.
So where did I get my experience and knowledge? Drum roll please....
1. I am Human
2. I have OCD
2. I have OCD
Does that reassure you? Okay, if not, then how about if I tell you I am recovering. Sure, I still struggle, but I am far better than I used to be. That means if there is hope for me then there is hope for you too. Your rituals do not have to own you. You can stop them. I am simply sharing my ideas about OCD, and how I have been healing.
Prayer
Lets start off with a prayer. Now this is prayer is meant to be simpe and heartfelt. Please, it is by no means a ritual that has be done "perfectly".
The Bible even tells us not to ritualize our prayers, which I find as a great relief:
New Living Translation (©2007)
"When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Matthew 6:7
Ok so let your prayer be something like this. And if you want to you may say it out loud. You spend far too much time in your head. Listen to clear beautiful truth. Remember this is not a ritual:
Dear Heavenly Father, I have OCD, I have thoughts and feelings that are dark and ungodly and I don't want them. I know that you don't want me to live with them, nor do you want me to live in fear, for you did not give me a spirit of fear. I repent of this fear; of this unbelief. I can't control these thoughts, I am powerless to. I surrender these thoughts into your perfect hands. Please, bring every thought captive onto you. Let rivers of your precious blood wash these thoughts away. Renew my mind and fill me with your peace that passes all understanding. Break me free from all satanic strongholds. Heavenly Father I surrender my mind, my OCD and my thoughts into your powerful hands, do with them what you will. Open my heart to you healing. I accept your healing. May it be in your will and time.
In Jesus Name Amen.
Dispelling Lies: This will blow your MIND 
First mind blowing fact that I would like to share with you: No. You can't be perfect, nor will you ever be perfect! No one can reach God's holy standard, but that's okay, He loves imperfect sinners.
Second mind blowing fact: God isn't looking for perfection. What? Yup, it is true. God is not look for perfection in you because HE IS YOUR PERFECTION.
Third mind blowing fact: satan is the one who has us chasing the impossible dream of our own self-perfection. He gets us to look at our own merits, not God's.
Only God is perfect, and he has covered you with that perfection--His beautiful blood that washes away all sin.
This is just the start of my blog. There is more to come. Feel free to send me comments and questions. I would love to help and give advice, or if anyone of you has any advice to give about healing I would love to hear that as well.
