Guilt Blockade

[Accune]

Every time I try to live on fire for the Lord again, I come up against this guilt blockade which really gets my anxiety pumping.When I get to a leveled place something tells me, "You are only living lukewarm".Then the frustration,anxiety and guilt comes.Those things then ring a alarm and I squeeze my face anticipating a blasphemous thought.Have any of you face the "guilt blockade"?If so how did you overcome it ? Thanks for taking a gander and God speed in the name of Jesus.

I think these kind of feelings are VERY common with OCD. Guilt seems to be a very common component of OCD. I think you have to recognize that in that some people are too cavalier and unconcerned about their sin and others who struggle with OCD often obsess TOO much about their sin and what is sin etc. Does that make sense? I think the best way to handle the blasphemous thoughts is to take the "oh,well, if they come, they come" if they don't, they don't" approach. This is in my experience the quickest way to extinguish them. Hard to do, but very effective. Just tell the Lord ONE time and ONE time only that you are ignoring the thoughts in order to reduce them and get rid of them. Believe me, this works.

If you haven't sought some professional help for your OCD, I would suggest you do so.
