I have what I believe is diagnosed OCD. I have been dealing with it for a while now but I feel like it is getting worse.
I feel like the OCD is controlling my prayers. I am seeking advice to help me. I get stuck on certain points and repeat over and over again.
I pray for specifics, nstead of praying for everyone health or problems as a group there are certian people I sit there and list of their health issues/problems.
There are certain things I pray for that I feel like I over "explain" during my prayer. Example instead of praying for safe travel as I drive. I list of the specifics or over "explain" I feel as though I can't just say "Thank you lord for keeping me safe during my drive" Its more like I have to pray for thanks for all the times i wasn't paying attention if I may have swerved and so on.
Is it okay to not pray for specifics or to pray for people as a group? I feel like OCD is over taking my prayer and instead of having that open communication with GOD I feel like parts of my prayers are just fuilling my OCD needs.
