• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I was praying to Gods because i was anxious. the anxiety was caused by my ocd.

I wanted to say to Gods that with or without my will, never punish me. But I made a mistake because I was on a hurry and said something like with or without my will, punish me.

I said that accidentally. I wanted to say NEVER punish me. i said that it was a mistake but i am not sure if Gods listen to me because right now I am

"i do not want punishment"

and the wrong prayer was

wrong prayer: even with or without my will punish me.

This can be also translated like "even if i do not want to, punish me"

I was trying to be sure that i will never end up in a deal/punishment/promise/ocd worry and since, i cant confirm which thoughts and prayers are made with my will or not, I decided to say that to Gods so I would no longer worry for punishments, even if they were asked with my will. so, i was ready to say

"with or without my will, NEVER punish me"

and i said, accidentally

"with or without my will, punish me"

if Gods accepted that accidental prayer as valid. Now, as long as I scream "Please do not punish me" the Gods, perhaps, will not hear me because of my accidental prayer.

We do not tell God what to do.

God does not need our permission to do anything with us or in our lives.

That said God knows all about you. He knows your OCD and heknows what it causes you to do or not do.

There's nothing to worry about. It is "only you" that is having OCD ideas. There's nothing anyone can do about it. You can't stop yourself from thinking things you would prefer you would not think about. It's probably better to focus on things you'd rather think about, because the more you try to not think about something, the more time you actually spend on thinking of it, and that includes describing it. It's just temporarily. You won't loose control over your mind, not go insane, it's nothing to be scared about, and everything is OK.

I hope it will become better for you and that your day will become more easy to relate to. I'm praying for you to find healing, if only for the moment, and a clear, sharp mind. There's lots of strange phenomena that is going on in the mind, such as ideas that you describe, but they are only phenomena, and not real. You haven't done anything wrong, and you are not anyone bad, but in the eyes of God not just just like all others, but also deeply loved and known better then anyone else.

Remember to make something nice to eat for supper, perhaps there's a nice movie that you could watch that you haven't seen in a long time, or some music that could soothe your soul? Here in Norway it's summer, and it's so beautiful when everything is alive. I do hope for all the best for you.

Lots of love to you, and my prayers for you. <3

Romans 5:19 uses many to refer to those who are made sinners in Adam and also uses many for those who because of Jesus will be made righteous.
