    Have I blasphemed the Holy Spirit?

    Praying for forgiveness for things that are not sinful

    Has anyone experienced thoughts like these? I have intrusive thoughts that tell me to pray for forgiveness even though I know (believe) what I did was not sinful. But I feel guilty for it afterwards because it feels wrong to say “I’m not sorry” to God, it makes me feel like a prideful jerk.

    What is the difference between OCD and Conviction

    Also when I pray how do I know that God is answering me or it’s my OCD? When I prayed for God’s answer on whether or not something was sinful. I heard a no and a yes in my head? Is it me, OCD, or God?
