Greetings Ozious, I can relate to not wanting to read the Bible at times for very similar reasons. I know how difficult it can be to have a certain amount of fear and anxiety about reading the very thing that is meant to bring joy and peace. You're not alone in this! Praying for you!

Praying for you buddy... Just remember that our faith is in the perfect righteousness of Christ and what he did for us. It's not based on our performance, thank God! It's based on Jesus' performance and he was perfect because we could never be. We can rest in that truth! God bless you and may He...

Mari, Thank you so much for your insightful posts! They've been such a blessing to me as I'm learning to navigate my own obsessive themes. God bless!

Is it possible to have obsessive, intrusive thoughts centered on themes such as God's will and a sense of direction? I think this is what I've been struggling with for some time. It's really tough because these thoughts/impressions cause me to feel really uneasy about where I'm at in life even...
