OCD has been described as "pathological doubt."
As Christians with OCD, who are doubting?
Are we doubting God? I "doubt" that, or we wouldn't be believers.
Do you think we are doubting ourselves and our ability NOT to think certain thoughts, especially when we are convinced eternity is on the line? Are we doubting our ability to stay in God's favor?
I think we doubt ourselves and to a certain extent have a poor self-image. I pray that we can see ourselves as God does - his children created in his image. If this is the case, perhaps we are not entitled to a negative self-image. Perhaps a negative self-image leads to a negative God-image and breeds unhealthy and unfounded fear.
Does God believe in us?
Does God doubt us?
What if we started doubting our doubts, since they are not of God? What if a negative self-image was a negative view of God's handiwork?
