OCD is a mental illness that causes repeated unwanted thoughts or sensations (obsessions) or the urge to do something over and over again (compulsions). Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help.
Scrupulosity is a form of OCD involving religious or moral obsessions. Scrupulous individuals are overly concerned that something they thought or did might be a sin or a religious or moral doctrine violation.
God knows your anxiety and your suffering.
Romans 7:
Is OCD intrusive thought a sin?
It is a sinful thought that sticks to your brain. Don't look to yourself but look to God. 1 John 3:
How can one overcome OCD?
It will take time and practice. You have been born of the Spirit. Look to the Paraclete who dwells in your spirit. Focus on Him and not on the erroneous thoughts in your brain. Seeking a Christian therapist may help.
