Intrusive thoughts crippling me.

[Deetz]

Hi guys. Just writing to ask about a problem im having. Ive had problems with intrusive thoughts most of my life, but recently its been getting really bad. I struggle a lot of with fear and self condemnation and i'll have thoughts about hell and scary things that are really unpleasant. It makes me doubt my salvation and when the doubt creeps in thats when the thoughts flood my mind like crazy. I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and would be able to give some sound advice and please pray for me!

Oh Deetz bless your heart, YES I've had terrible horrible thoughts and fears throughout my life. I know exactly what you are going thru. First, you don't need to worry about hell. You are ok! God is love and love wouldn't hurt you that way. You are a caring person. I can tell. There are people out there in the world today that should be worried about it but you are NOT one of them. I was unable to live a normal life with my OCD without medication (a serotonin reuptake inhibitor). My regular general practice doctor gives me mine. Prayer works! I have had miraculous answers to my prayers begging for relief. Know that I understand and I care and I will definitely pray for you.

Yes I have. It's part of the OCD so no worries it's not your fault. Said a prayer for you.

Oh yes I have had those issues with OCD. In fact one of the most common symptoms of OCD in "true" Christians is the fear of loosing their salvation. The good news is that is an impossibility because we do not only hold on to Jesus but, he holds on to us. He bought us with His own blood and He is not about to give any of us up!
