• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I pray to many Gods just to be sure. I pray in a compulsive way. The last days, I started praying in a less compulsive way by saying in the start of the prayer " I say it to those who hear me"

This morning, i said this and made a mistake with my tongue. I started worrying if an evil spirit heard me and accepted my accidental prayer.

I worry because I remembered that I started praying in this way, when I started having ocd fears about paranormal and spirits and was afraid of curses. i guess, this prayer was a prayer for spirits? I do not know.

Days passed, and it just became a compulsive way of praying, i think, i forgot, the whole spirit-thing-prayer stuff and kept only the compulsion.

I worry if I prayed to an evil spirit who does not care about mistakes and ocd. When I was making the prayer, I just did not have anything specific in thoughts to whom I pray. I, just compulsively, said, "I say this to those who hear me"

what if an evil spirit heard me and accepted my accidental prayer? in my prayer something bad was asked accidentally, because of a mistake of tongue.

do not try to tell me about Jesus. do not try to send me Scriptures.

My ocd makes me question and doubt everything. so, telling me about Jesus wont work. I will say "ok, but what if Jesus does not exist"

You must stop worrying and fearing anything. You can't serve God if you have doubts, fears or if you worry. Be strong from now forever and never worry again and God will put his Spirit in you, which will give you great power. And don't care for nothing, just serve God.

pray to many Gods just to be sure.

May i advise you to please cease doing that. There is only One God in three. So instead of praying to many gods pray to Jesus and through Jesus to God The Father of us all. Love Him, our God in Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, without Him we be in big trouble for there is none who can safe us but Him. THe Lamb of God. Jesus Christ.

So pray to Him and His Father alone in His Spirit, that is love for God, people and Creation. Let The Bible instruct you how to pray best.

Our Father who dwells in Heaven Above, is only reachable through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Door to eternal life, put your trust in Him.

Peace.

So, just repent [1 John 1:9]. (Were you hoping for something more complicated...?)

If you can tell us your sorrow over the matter, you can tell Him.

Base on my many years with religious OCD, I realized that I won't worried about anythings if I know God forgive me. So you do not need to worried about that, just ask god to protect and forgive you.What you suffered, It's actually OCD(in my opinion). I'm not therapist or any professional, but I have expereince somethings similiar to you.

@Kostilaks You may have ocd etc, ok i get it, but what is that of praying to every God just in case? that not the gospel man, we need to follow Jesus only, you know make a commitment to him?this is important.
You know the bible says God does not know any other God? there isn't more Gods, you need to clear your mind in what you believe...

I can testify that the God of the bible is the only God because i have experienced his spirit.

What is the first of the ten commandments? Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Stop praying to other gods, pray only to the one true living God, the Most High God.

Follow the instructions in this video to receive the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues:

Stop praying to other gods, pray only to the one true living God, the Most High God.
And if you do, repent as soon as you realize it.
