Hey everyone...I am so glad God has lead me to this forum. I'm thankful for each and everyone of you, your threads, your questions, advice, encouragements, and testimonies. I keep you guys in my prayers always. Like pretty much everyone else...I was diagnosed with OCD. I was wondering if anyone received Christ while having intrusive blasphemous thoughts? Has anyone repeated the sinners prayer over and over again because it "didn't feel right" or "you felt you were'nt sorry enough for your sins"? Does anyone have a hard time remembering the exact date of receiving Jesus as Saviour? Does anyone have a hard time feeling forgiven? Sorry with all the questions....i'm just down and out right now...and would just like to know your thoughts for a litte encouragement. Have a Blessed day!!

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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jesus is my Shelter my Refuge my Fortress
I believed in Jesus as a child and do not remember the exact day I started believing in Him.I do know I believe in Jesus and have everlasting life.
I think the disciples believed in Jesus deeper and deeper as they walked with Him and Jesus made them grow.Jesus Words are Life and Truth.
I went for a long time not feeling forgiven , and I understand the pain of that.
Nevertheless, despite my feeelings and fears and doubt and despair,
Jesus kept me safe and protected me and restored my soul.
I am sorry that you are hurting right now,and I hope you feel better soon, there are so many kind and supporting people here.
Are you seeing a counsellor or doctor?
many blessings

Hey everyone...I am so glad God has lead me to this forum. I'm thankful for each and everyone of you, your threads, your questions, advice, encouragements, and testimonies. I keep you guys in my prayers always. Like pretty much everyone else...I was diagnosed with OCD.
First I'd like to say thank you for keeping this forum in your prayers. We will continue to support one another through prayer and scriptures and encouragement because no one is alone. We have Christ first and foremost =] and He has blessed us to be able to communicate with one another and lift one another up =] that's a blessing, because boy o boy, once I thought I was the only one going through this. Let's keep those in prayer who don't make accounts and are suffering alone, and have no one to talk to.
I was wondering if anyone received Christ while having intrusive blasphemous thoughts?
i believed when i was younger but my faith was built off of feelings, and when these thoughts came the wind blew and my house fell over. but thank the Lord, because He kept me in the midst and built me upon the word, and now I stand in the midst of this. He has patience with us and will work on us and bring us what He has called us to be. amen! it was because of the thoughts that i got saved and baptized and although they are hurtful and annoying sometimes, they have made me closer to my Lord than ever before. it was scary at first, but I held on to the Lord, and sought Him, and continued to go to church, and the more I knew, the more I feel in love and all this was in the midst of this terrible storm. they taught me not to rely on my feelings and on myself, but focus on the word and the power of Christ.
[/B]Has anyone repeated the sinners prayer over and over again because it "didn't feel right" or "you felt you were'nt sorry enough for your sins"?
at first, after every thought id want to pray and ask for forgiveness because i felt so dirty and i wanted the Lord to make sure the Lord knew that I was sorry, but now i understand that He knows me more than I know myself and His mercy is sufficient for me and his power made strong in weakness (2 Corinthians 12: 9) i cant control them and the Lord will not fault me for that. but at the same time, some of the thoughts are blasphemous against others and i ask the Lord to bless those who my sickness attacks. There's nothing wrong with that ya kno.
[/B]Does anyone have a hard time remembering the exact date of receiving Jesus as Saviour?
since it was recent, no. but once i tried to trace back to the first day that i believed and i couldnt lol. i just remember when i was younger writing poetry about the Lord and going to church from time to time and praying but the Lord told Jeremiah
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
So sometimes I think we can't trace it because it is something He implants in us from birth, and we grow into it. But I don't want to lean on my own understanding. We should just find peace in knowing that although we don't know how, it simply is and that's beautiful. When we try to trace back and check it, sometimes we don't find the answer we want and it makes us check more and more and more and builds on unbelief.
[/B]Does anyone have a hard time feeling forgiven?
yup yup. sometimes the guilt and embarrassment make us hard on ourselves. but when the Lord forgives, He forgives. we need to learn how to forgive ourselves sometimes and try to see ourselves as the Lord does, and not how we feel. for He says
in Jeremiah 29: 11
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace , and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
[/B]Sorry with all the questions....i'm just down and out right now...and would just like to know your thoughts for a litte encouragement. Have a Blessed day!!
And it's okay. We all need encouragement. As as brothers and sisters in Christ, we should go to one another when we're down because we're all in this together. Felt like I just took an interview, LOL, but not in a bad way. Prob the order in which I set up the wording, but yea, have a blessed day too. And keep coming and sending your scriptures and testimonies too, so that we may all be encouraged in one another's struggles and breakthroughs. =] Praying
