feel free from ocd! You CAN be healed by the Lord!

[Jesusisgood]

Hi i used to have really bad ocd and alot of you know how bad it used to be. last spring it got so bad that i thought i lost my soul. I did NOT lose my soul it was simply my ocd, anxiety, and the ememy messing with my thoughts. But God WILL heal you if you pray to Him. You dont have to pray 20 times in a row because sometimes that is our ocd, like i used to do. God hears us the first time and if we believe he will answer if its according to his will the Lord WILL! I feel so much better and medicine helped me too, but it was Mostly God
Dont worry about the "what ifs". I used to think, what if i d this and this happens. but im telling you its not going to happen or matter if you eat your carrots before your soup(you get the idea) God chooses what happens not you me or anyone else. Realizing and TRUSTING God really helped me overcome my ocd and I realized that people didnt notice my ocd until i told them im here for you! and most of all GOD is here with you!!

I know exactly how you feel. I write Christian poetry, and whenever I have instrusive thoughts about doing things in the name of the enemy or seeling my soul, I feel the impulsive urge to run to the nearest notebook or computer to write a poem as a form or repentance. But what makes me nervous is the idea of the "enemy messing with my head" thing. The Bible says that the devil can't read your mind, right? So how is he able to mess with your head? Or is that just my OCD getting the best of me right now, LOL?

I'd really appreciate a reply to this. Thank you!

@ ChristianofGod:

(I'm going to preface this by saying I could be wrong)... but I don't necessarily think that every single thing that happens is specifically a spiritual doing of God or the devil. (Again, I could be wrong). I think OCD is a brain disorder rooted in a chemical imbalance and anxiety. The neuro activity of OCD is quite naturally explained. Though this does not take away any spiritual element that may exist, I think fretting about what the devil may be up to could be replaced with knowing the fact that God is stronger than the devil. That would probably be a more healthy thought process anyway because OCD is perpetuated by anxiety. I think it may be good accept the disorder for what we know it is (a natural malfunction of the brain), and pray to God to give us faith and the wisdom we need to thrive in our human life experience in spite of this disorder. In Heaven there will be no brain disorders, thank God for that!

I think if God lets you have a chronic mental disorder, it is for a reason.
