I have ocd probably and feel bad for it. bad thoughts and coincidences ruin my day. I am planning to confess my sins to a priest today for the first time. But... Something worries me. I used to get attacked by thoughts that are not mine that think bad things and I say to God many times that these are not mine and not to happen. Today, a bad thought came when I was thinking about confession. it was not mine! the thought was request punishment from God for going to confession today. I feared and wanted to say to God not to punish me as I always do. the problem is that when I opened my mouth to say that I somehow made a mistake and missed the word "not" (in greek I think). instead of be like " do not punish me" it came out as "do punish me". now I am having second thoughts about going to confession today. I fear If it counts cause I said it with my lips. I did not want any of that. please pray for me. I need some pray for strength

Praying for strength friend.

I pray that you will have God's peace and strength.
John 14:27--Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I have these coincidences happen to me too,and believe it or not,the Bible tells us to not believe every vision/sign/dream,especially ones we make ourselves,here’s the verse that says to test every well sign to see if it is from God,
"If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, 'Let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them,'
I see this as ,the false prophet being this voice in the mind that says if this happens then x and y,and if that thing does happen then we must test it,most of the time it leads to fear right ?ok so you have it happen and you think it’s a sign from a God,and you start being afraid,first that voice in your head is a liar,do not believe it ,if that thing happens ignore it because it wants you to feel as tough you do have a reason to be scared ,God says to cast all your cares on Hum for He cares for you,I hope I helped you in some way and God bless,I’ll be praying for you,remember lots of people have this happen to them,it’s called magic thinking the belief that ones toughts influence the real world,but they don’t,God is in control not you remember that

With your lips you can bind those words that came out of your mouth and pray and ask God that they will not manifest in your life....that they will not fall on fertile ground and grow. Secondly, we learn in the book of Job that he had a fear in his heart....(fear operates against faith)….he said "that thing that I FEARED THE MOST has come upon me. Job 3:25 For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.
You can also pray and seek God's peace....Phillipians 4:6-7 6. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Take authority over thoughts that enter your mind.....2 Corinthians 10:5 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
God Bless.
