I suffer from OCD. Have my whole life. Three years ago, I had this ocd obsession to pray to satan. I don't remember what it was exactly, but I remembered I really didnt wanna do it. It was also a weird obsession cause I was an athesit at this time. But in an attempt to nullify the anxiety I did, I prayed that satan would make this girl I liked confess her love to me within five days. Just picked something dumb. Sure enough, on the fifth day, she messaged me and confessed to loving me.

I was terrified. I have since repented of this prayer SO many times. However here's the issue. She and I are now engaged...and im worried satan made her love me.

She has been there for me when im lowest, cared for me when im sick. There was one night I was really struggling with depression and I almost killed myself and she called 3 different people to check on me. And then commanded that I stayed on the phone with her. And ive done the same for her. She has admitted that ive saved her life. She brings me so much happiness and same for her. But throughout it all that prayer sits over my head. Hangs over me like a cloud. Did I make a deal? Will I pay for this later? Was it a coincidence? I dont know. Just to day she invited me to join her to church because I dont have one. Which really made my heart melt. I just dont know what to do. I adore her so so much, and I dont wanna lose her, it would crush both of us for me to have to leave the relationship, especially when she did nothing wrong. It was my own foolishness with ocd that caused all this...what the heck do I do???!!!!

Sounds like she's a Christian, and thus under the Lord's protection. The devil cannot make her fall in love with someone.

I have to disagree, there are many celebrities who have sold there soul to the devil to get where they are today.

Bob Dylan for one;


I don't think Harley has gone this far so my suggestion to @harley is to really repent with maybe a holy baptism.

First of all, the adversary ( Satan) does NOT grant prayer requests! Our Father is the sole granter of our supplications so you can cease worrying about this.
On another note, our Father knows your condition of OCD so be at peace , He will not lay blame for something out of your control. And one more thing, just be hapoy!! It is our Father who heard your prayer!
Be blessed.

God is infinitely forgiving and infinitely merciful and the devil has no rights.

Might I ask what your ecclesiastical status, i.e. what church you go to?

I am baptized.

If you wish you can send me a PM and discuss this, as there are some things you can potentially do, but rest assured that Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son and Word of God, has in His love for us made it so that our sins can be forgiven, and the devil has been defeated. Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death!

Sounds like Satan sent you a Godly woman who loves you truly and is perfect for you!

If you two get married, try to avoid sharing a testimony of how you met the perfect, Godly woman for you by praying to Satan. ^_^

Forgive me if I find this amusing and I hope my advice below will make up for it.

what the heck do I do???!!!!
If you truly love her and you both love each other for real. Then marry her!

You and her are probably destined for each other. It could be your fate to marry her and Satan had nothing to do with it despite your demonic prayer.

You praying to Satan is simply a matter of coincidence. I've seen incredibly ridiculous coincidences. They do happen and tend to happen A LOT if you have astute powers of observation. Sometimes the mind can manifest things. It's so wonderful and scary at the same time.

Just ask the Lord for forgiveness.

I've thought about praying to Satan myself but never actually doing it. I get really weird dreams/nightmares of giant spiders with bright green glowing eyes going after me to attack me and then me sleeping and actually seeing everything around me. I know my eyes are closed but it's like my skull have become transparent. It's weird and quite unsettling.

I have OCD too but certain events in life can mitigate its negative effects. My OCD in some things have completely disappeared.

Just don't worry about this whole thing. Just remember what ever happens next is for the growth and strengthening of your character. It's a good thing!

I find this rather disturbing. Remember who runs Hollywood. They are Orthodox Jews. Same people whose part of their scriptures is the Torah. Therefore, they worship the same God of Moses.

Yet, they run one of the most evil business on the planet. I find it very disturbing because as I've said, their beliefs overlaps with ours as Christians, yet they're also signing people up to the devil.

"Test all things; hold fast what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Make sure with God. Do not be hasty or wishful.

Humble what is good. And first stay attentive to God. And feed on what Jesus has claimed for us in His prayer, including how our Father has "loved them as You have loved Me." (in the Lord's prayer of John 17:22-23)

Jesus has us loving any and all people.

"if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" (in Matthew 5:46)

But your first real love could be with her. However, then if this is God's way, He will have you then loving any and all people, feeding on how Jesus has had you learn how to love with her. And perhaps it is like this with our Father who has so loved His own Son. And now He has loved us as He has loved Jesus.

Our Father has not isolated His love to only His Son. And His love in us does not isolate us with some one favorite.

So, enjoy discovering.

Yeah, id most certainly never pray to him now, i was an atheist at the time. And even then I didnt want to but it didnt carry as much weight yknow? I dont know. Cause on one hand I see alot of good in our relationship. Her actions match the biblical description of love. But on the other hand we do both struggle with lust. So...idk...im SO confused.

One Biblical purpose of marriage is to help you control lust if you're struggling with lust.

Ironically, if you're struggling to manage or control your lust, you are entitled to get married, that's what the Bible says.

The ONLY thing that will stop you from marrying her is you get clear message from the Lord telling you not to marry her. However, divine messages require discernment. Because it might be from the Lord but it can also be from the devil.

Anyway, what made you an atheist in the past? Is this simply from not finding any hard evidence of the divine, or resentment of religious people, or finding things in religion or Christianity that is quite disturbing or bothers you in a bad way?

I'd like to know more if you don't mind. I maybe able to help find answers for you if you must marry this Godly woman or not. If you're doubting anything in religion, it helps to know what they are and I'm not going to try to convince you to change your beliefs but may lead to an answer in your current marriage dilemma.

The devil is THE deceiver. All the people who asked for his help got it. You need to get on your knees and pray. Repent from all your sins. Our battle isn’t just with flesh but with principalities As Paul writes. Ask God to protect you and show you what to do. Take the Bible everyday and read it with your girlfriend. Share your thoughts. God may have had you come across her so that you may be saved. From one bad action He can bring a good upcoming but you must stick to His word. We re all sinners but we’re all saved when we believe in Him and follow His Word. Go fight and put the armour mentioned in Ephesians 6:12

I dont honestly know why I was an atheist. I just wasnt raised spiritual so I just never cared? Kinda just thought of religious people as different yknow? Like thats fine but its not ME. As of now, I know Jesus died for my sins. I do have doubts from time to time but I hold true to the fact that I KNOW HE died for me.

After repenting, you must believe God erased this sin and won’t hold it against you. Try to change your behavior in this respect. If you can’t because it s too difficult, ask God for help. We’re all very weak and need God. He s very patient, caring and loves us. rely on Him, trust Him and come to Him each time you don’t feel well. Suppress everything that’s not Christian around you (books, music, idols, clothes…). Read the Bible everyday. Pray. Listen to predications that will spiritually make you grow. Go to church and mingle with christians. Listen to christian music. Etc, etc… what you need (as we all do) is pure, deep, genuine love (agape in greek) . Lust is just an excuse

It seems like she didn't read your OP. I think you're good to go. Nothing more to worry about.

As of now, I know Jesus died for my sins. I do have doubts from time to time but I hold true to the fact that I KNOW HE died for me.
It doesn't sound like you care about being atheist either before you became a Christian. That's fine.

It helps we don't hold on to a belief system like a fanatic or extremist. It makes it impossible to see any faults or errors in our beliefs or religion. It's an obstacle to the truth.
