need some help

[OCDyeahyouknowme]

Hey guys, my ocd has been acting up real bad lately, and was wondering if you guys could pray for me. I am struggling with a lot of things and hope to vent them here, and hoping you guys could give me advice and encouragement.

since ive been struggling, i stay away from home as much as possible, i bring my laptop to work, and go on it (with guilt) and try to get my mind off of the things of God, but then i feel guilty for doing that. I struggle so much by analyzing how i study, how i feel when i study, and observe how my emotions go when i study. And its always bad, like im not liking it enough, or if i was trully saved, it would mean more to me.

My mind is so filled with doubts, its like i constantly doubt on everything. I cant go through a single hour without doubting. When people talk about salvation and there experience of how they feel joy and peice .. etc... my mind trys to remember if i felt those ways and it causes me to doubt. Its like i can never stop doubting about anything. Can anyone give me advice on what to do and how to get through these doubts? It seems like i study more just so i can make myself "feel" excited about studying and not seeking the Lord, can anyone give me some advice? Im really exhausted.

When you get exhausted enough, rest. Try reading Isaiah 41. It basically says "Fear Not" "For I am always with you" You know it is the illness not your true feelings. and trust not your feelings anyway, as thats a trap. Just trust what Jesus said.

Feelings lie and you know yours do. God never lies. He said you are His and He will never let you go. You are white as snow to him and he see's not your sins. at all.

at all. at all. Rest and let Jesus worry about things for you. You will be a lot more at peace. Dont try to figure it out or get ready for it just release your doubts and breathe free. You just have to decide to do it.

Sheepdog gave some great advice.I would read it over a few times as well as the scripture given.

"Fear Not" "For I am always with you

You are white as snow to him and he see's not your sins. at all.

breathe free

It could get very very tiring trying to stop doubt,judging ourselves ,trying to fix oursleves,trying to force certain feelings etc.All so very very exhausting and impossible to do.

We must not judge ourselves too harshly we are not our own we are bought with a price.The blood of Jesus.

Before our Master we stand or fall and we shall stand for He is able to make us stand.

Yes we follow and obey Jesus out of love.
However trying to force feelings,judging ourselves and earn approval is so tiring.

Jesus makes all things new and give us strength and makes us bear fruit.
We can do nothing of ourselves.

We cannot change our hearts only surrender them to Jesus care and healing.Jesus makes all things new.
We just wait for Jesus.

We cannot fix our feelings or emotions .Jesus does this as we can do nothing of ourselves.With Jesus nothing is impossible.

We cannot heal ourselves,but Jesus can.
We are welcomed to come boldly to His throne of grace and make our requests know and to come to Jesus for peace and rest.
He will not cast us out.

can make myself "feel"

Jesus is the answer to making all things new and giving us peace and rest and love and joy and healing and making all things new.
We just come to Him as we are ,weak and bruised and knowing we cannot fix ourselves.
Jesus is the Amighty Saviour and Redeemer and nothing is impossible to Jesus.

Jesus is trustworthy and true.

This is a great place to vent and receive support with many caring and loving people here.
