I don't know how to get over this fear

[Bee22]

I'm scared I can commit blasphemy in my mind. I had this fear 24/7 for months. I'm only human..I don't know how to move on if there's one sin that could ruin everything. My mind is so fragile right now I might slip up. I'm so numb right now, I hope I can repent if I do

Why did God put those verses there...

In order to blaspheme you must deliberately choose to do so. A thought is not blasphemy. If you did not choose to think that thought, it is not you anyway. Evil spirits have access to our minds. That's why we have to resist the devil and why we have to take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

God is not unfair, unjust or arbitrary. He has given His people His own power, authority, mercy, grace, forgiveness, love and everything else that we need in order to live in the way that pleases Him. There are many warnings about how not to live. If God did not make that clear, He would be doing us a great disservice. Those warnings encourage us to keep on track.

Once we find out how good God is, how much He loves us, what He has done for us in Christ, we will relax and let Him take care of us. It's the greatest freedom there is. God no longer even looks at you. Did you know that? He has immersed you into Christ, you died (that's what baptism is really about) and your life is hidden in Christ with God. God gave Jesus, His only Son, to die in your place. Does it make sense that God seeks any excuse to destroy you? Not at all. The precious blood of Christ has paid for your sin already. All God requires of you is to confess your sin, to be honest with Him. It really is not that hard.

Pete's reply is on point. I would also recommend reading this.

I have an intrusive fear I can do it. I don't hear a bunch of thoughts like other people with OCD. I do sometimes but my fear is actually ME committing it in my mind. Thanks AUSIE. The words guilty of an eternal sin get to me if I do commit it.

"God no longer even looks at you"

This is helpful. I just want God to take control...I worry I can lose my chance with Him if I'm in the driver's wheel

The problem is not the verses per se - the problem is that those of us with OCD tend to pick up on "scary" things and blow them out of proportion. Just as a person with a germ obsession might think, "Why are there such a thing as germs? They make me so miserable!!" Whereas a person without OCD is able to handle them calmly and logically.

So, the goal is to learn how to treat your OCD. I just posted on one of your other threads with some helpful resources, and I'm willing to talk more about dealing with OCD effectively if you'd like. It's a tough thing to deal with, but there's a lot of hope for learning how to live well with it and experience a lot of freedom over it!
