Warning: Please,if you have OCD,Do not view this unless you have strong faith,I don’t want to bring worries onto others.
Hi everyone,
This is something small I’ve been worried about,it’s not so much troubling as other things I’ve posted about.But it’s significant enough to cause my attention to it.
So,like most people with OCD,I worry about Gods existence.And not in an unbelievers way,I worry because I want him to be real.my worry stems onto something different,I catch myself sometimes being too introverted.And not outwardly,and I worry that I’m “imagining my faith”.Whenever I say a prayer,I do have doubts if God is there but also worry if I truly believe he is,what I tend to rely on is he hears everything,so I rely on prayer for his help since he heard everything.I tend to need to look at something,and this is where it gets confusing,then visualize God above that thing I’m looking at to help be understanding his realness.I understand the common phrase “Seeing is not believing” but I worry to a concerning degree that I don’t truly believe God is real to the point I can sense he is.I have trouble looking around and knowing for certain he is real.And like I said earlier I want him to be real and I want to know he is and walk everyday knowing he is ever present.But I feel like I’m the only one with this particular problem.
To sum things up,Here’s a paraphrased version of what I’m saying;
“I’m concerned I’m imagining God is real and my faith is too introverted and my faith is on something else,worrying about wether he is real or not,worried that I can’t see/understand that.Then in a very very small part worried I’ve committed apostasy”
However in a contradictory way,I know he is real,wether I sense it or not, I know he sees the heart,thoughts,and movements of mine.
I’d like to know if anyone has been through anything similar and if anyone could offer insight on how to fix it,if it is a alarming problem that needs to be fixed immediately.
