Well, as I posted on another thread I am having a tough OCD week. Been doing pretty well for awhile but I read something and it sent me spiraling straight into OCD-land.
I am quite sure that many of you as Christians struggle with this so I'm asking for input. For me, this is usually the manifestation of my OCD issues/obsessions now. This is kinda where "the rubber meets the road" for me and what throws me into OCD-land--how do we as Christians discern what is something the Lord would have us do/not do/attend do versus what is just OCD obsession??? In other words, how do we discern between the Lord's direction/conviction and an OCD obsession?
How do we identify what's "obsession" and what's something that is worthy of our attention and focus???
