Thank you, it is difficult.

Thank you

Thank you for your kind words, it is writing and making up stories and just overall thinking in images like imagining my day or thinking about my family. I try to do it for God but I don't know if I wanted it back too badly.

I was soo happy yesterday! Well I fell back down. I scheduled an appointment with a therapist but I am upset with myself. What happened was this, I was struck by the worry that my hobbies were idolatry because I had spent several weeks worrying about whether I could use them, whether I loved...

That m you so much! I've been doing better this morning. I must keep my guard up though, I've fallen down a lot before because I didn't.

Everyone, I watched a great sermon today and I've feeling two Bible verses pressed on my heart. The verse about fools being right in their own eyes, Proverbs 12:15 and the verse where Paul encourages his readers not to go beyond what is written 1 Cor 4:6 I feel that God has shown me that I don't...

I want to beat this ocd but my question is how do I conquer it when it tries to act like God is telling me these things? How do I beat it without feeling like I'm breaking God's heart?

Thank you so much Mari and everyone your words mean a lot to me and have helped me put things into perspective. I have been feeling that I need to trust God and let Him lead but fear has been holding me back. I really want to get rid of this disease, if only it wasn't so convincing. I am doing...

I was reading about doubt yesterday and stumbled across James 4:4, that talked about friendship with the world and I panicked. All those fears I had about my other issues were dredged up. I keep thinking that by worrying about not being able to do the things OCD tells me I can't do like, write...

I do, I talk to my friends and such and they think it's ocd. But I keep having these thoughts that say I wouldn't give up those things for God and when I imagine doing it, it seems do daunting and uncomfortable that I fear I wouldn't give them up after all.

I try to ignore them, but then i get these strong feeling that God wants me to give these things up. But then I don't know if He does, then I worry that what if I can't give them up and them I feel like I need to give them up even more. How can I ignore these thoughts without feeling like I'm...

Thank you everyone, I just keep having these bad thoughts. Today I was walking in the kitchen when I remembered that when I was a kid I thought to myself there were two things I do didn't want God touching my mother and storytelling, I was stupid and not thinking but I can't remember if I...

Oh thank you so much, unfortunately that's not my piggy (mine died) just a cute one I made my icon.

Hi again, I haven't been here for a while my journey with ocd has been going well mostly, but recently I've been trying to get back into my work as a novelist and I was struck my a thought that paralyzed me. When I was a child I used to spend so much time daydreaming and making up stories. I...

I will tell you this, the more you agonize over it the worse it will get. I will be short because this is urgent and extremely important, tell God you didn't mean and ask Him to catch you and hold you and leave it there. I have thought I blasphemed the Holy Spirit before, I thought I was going...

I too am struggling with an OCD problem at the moment. In fact you can see one of most recent posts on here today! I'm trying to snap out of that and I want to impart any knowledge I've gained from my condition to help you. I've been struggling with this since I was twelve or so and God has...

Thank you Mari I enjoy helping and thank you again for helping me apply my advice to myself as well :)

Ah, that's a question that just popped into my mind a little bit ago. Honestly, I'd probably tell myself God doesn't work that way. He's not a God of fear after all, He's merciful and He doesnt do things that will confuse us. Hmm yes I think I do know the answer to my question. It is...

I don't mean to be nosey, but what's a book character? Thank you very much this helps a lot, I need to keep remembering this but is so hard sometimes. And no worries I don't find questions to be nosey; by book character I mean a fictional person or animal I made up to write a story about.

Thank you very much. My characters are not ungodly and I like writing about redemption because of what Jesus has done for me, my aim is to glorify God in my writing. In this case the character is one I have not even written about and he's a priest. This gives me more to mull over though. In the...
