• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Your relationship with God is securely in His hands. I Peter 1:3-5, tells us our salvation is reserved for us in Heaven. It's an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away. All of your struggling, your fears and doubts don't change that. Be at peace knowing that God is aware of our weaknesses and his grace is sufficient to cover it.

I hope you're right it's so hard for me to see what's going on right now. I mean I want a relationship with God but I don't want to constantly doubt question my relationship with him or question if he exsits I dont want to constantly think about it. But I don't know what to do do you? I guess what I'm saying is I want God but I want to think about everything involving my relationship with him less. You see what I'm saying? How do I do that without losing my relationship with him?

Yes I understand how these thoughts can really beat you down. When I was at my worse I had stress pains all over my body, but the most important thing now for you to do is see that therapist ( prefer a christian therapist) that is expereinced with scrupulosity. Your also right that it is very hard to experience the joy of that relationship while being bombarded with the thoughts.

You saw what I went through in my old thread here. I thought there was no hope to the point of thinking of suicide, but I am a bit better now. The therapy and meds helped. I dont get therapy right now because the only therapist that I was comfortable with had to move, but I remembered alot of what he told me. The light will show itself bro, for you and for raven, but the most important thing is to get help.

You wont believe how much it can help until you go through the therapy

If you were in control of the relationship, you should worry, we all should, but your/we're not. Gods in total control. God made it that way because He knew we would mess it up. God is at His strongest when we are at our weakest.
Brother I know it's harder than it sounds, but I pray you would just put this down and rest in His arms. I pray you could realize that you don't have a problem with God, it's all OCD,ALL OF IT!! God does not deal with us through fear and confusion.
