Hi my friends in Christ.

I have religious OCD. It is not easy, but it is much better (thank God).

I have found an online priest, who gives me advices through e-mail. I have a really complex situation which I needed advice with. I felt like I am sinning with my work, I don't want to describe the situation now. This priest advised me to continue working the best I can, and don't care about the situation. I know I can't trust my own feelings yet, so I think it is the best to follow his advice.

But I just don't feel peace about it. And I have no idea why. If I did the right decision, I should feel peace about it, don't I? But I don't feel it. I am still extemely anxious that I sin day by day, and it bothers me a lot.

I just have no idea what to do. I just want to do God's Will. I think I have to follow the advice of this priest, but why don't I feel peace about it? It is just so tough...
