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...

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?

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I've been feeling mostly better these days, thank God. But today I was praying and I asked God to keep me and family members safe and I felt like God was telling me He would ONLY keep me and family members safe if I stopped writing and thinking about one of my book characters. I...

Hi everyone, This is difficult for me. Right now I am struggling with my emotions in particularly I am afraid that I may be embarrassed of Jesus somehow. Sometimes when I think of Him or talking about Him I will get a strange feeling in my stomach and I think "Oh this is embarrassment" then I...

Hi everyone, I had a bad bout recently but I think Ive been doing better but one of main problems is that when I am worried about something or trying to convince myself that my worry is not real I hear "trigger" words everywhere. For example this month I have been worried about going to hell...

Hi, I've been doing a lot better these days, thank God! But I've been struggling with a question of mine for a few days. Would it be a sin for me to share a bed with a same-sex friend for like a sleepover or something? I read somewhere that the word homosexuality(the Hebrew one) has two parts...

I don't want to die, but I keep feeling like it would be easier to be dead than dealing with my constant doubts, but I really don't want to die. I've been struggling with thinking daydreaming is a sin now even though I use it to craft ideas for my books and stories and I try to glorify God...

Last night I encountered a problem, I was afraid that I had chosen world building(for my stories) over Jesus I toldb myself this was not true and that I chose Jesus. So of course my thoughts went ahead and told me if that was true then I can't world build at all if I chose Jesus over it, I don't...

Hello! Happy Sunday! I have a question that I've been worrying about for a bit. I like to read and watch a lot of fiction (mostly younger kids books and shows) and I was wondering if for instance one of the characters has a problem with lying will God be angry with me if I like them but don't...

HI again, I've run into another problem. A few months ago I got a parrot, I prayed that I would get a male parrot so it would talk I looked around and found one reasonably priced and I bought him/her. I think it may be a girl due to behavior and coloration but I don't mind, it is such a sweet...

Is this true? Sometimes I think that to prove to God that I love Him or to show Him that I truly love him I need to sacrifice something I like, for instance a television show, reading a book I like or writing about a story I spent a lot of time developing. sometimes I also feel like I need to...

HI, I recently I asked God for something and keep finding myself having doubting thoughts and anxiety, I repent when I have these feelings but I don't know if I need to reask God for my request in order for it to valid or just keep believing that God will fulfill my original request. What should...

I'm finding myself struggling again and I have a question. I keep thinking God is telling me (verbally in my head) to give up something like creative writing I haven't gotten a clear answer as to why I should do this, so I asked God if He wants me to give it up and I hear "of course not." then...

I hope this is okay to post here, I never thought I would ever post something so personal, I write these letters when I have struggles I can’t sort out in my head, I don’t talk people about my OCD often because it often centers around things I know most people will think is silly, but to me they...

Hello again and sorry to come back on such a bad note again. But a few days ago, I decided to stop eating sweets for a few days. I told God I would try to not eat them for him, originally I planned on just not eating candy and such. But somehow it extended to all sweet things, including natural...
