need advice

[OCDyeahyouknowme]

I have a concern and was wondering if anyone else has had this or going through this. It seems that every morning when i wake up i feel as if i have to get my mind right. To think that im a christian, and i know we are to get in the Word, and meditate on it as it changes us, but i feel sometimes that if i dont then I probably aint a christian. I usually just try to pass it off as the ocd and move on, but it has bugged me a little this morning.

Another thing i have been going through, is sometimes i take comfort in knowing all this is just my ocd. And i feel convicted, cause i feel like i should take comfort in Jesus.

And the third thing, is when i sin, and confess it, sometimes i feel like should be more appreciated to the Lord for His forgivness, and it makes me feel bad. Somtimes i think "well, if im trully a christian then i would be more appreciated to the Lord" and that i should be more amazed by His grace. Sometimes its hard to figure out whats the ocd, and whats me. Just curious if anyone has been through this and what should i do, to move forward.

Joe thata all the OCD talking. Jesus doesnt judge you and can see no fault in you. You think I dont mess up almost daily? If we can please Jesus my acting a certain way or promising this or that or judging ourselves it wouldnt be unlimited atonement and forgiveness.

When you were forgiven you were forgiven in advance for every thing you could do in the future. anything else is works and rubbish.

Jesus allows you the disease for some reason just like he allows me my faults when He could fix them. Just the way you are is perfect to Him.

Just recognize that it is the disease that is acting up and causing you the grief.

Yup, have had all that. Just keep focusing your eyes upon God and Jesus Christ. As you get to know Him more, trust me, you will become more thankful. The fact that you feel you should be more thankful (been there, oh the guilt of that!) means your heart is in the right place. Just keep looking to Jesus!
