Silly Question But I Need a Little Clarification

[FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]To “stop attending to thoughts” means “to ignore them even when they’re clamoring at you to engage them and you feel you really need to to have some peace of mind” right? [/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

Yes pretty much. I used to feel as though if i kept letting the thoughts come back, i would go to hell if i let them run wild in my mind. And i felt bad when i did.

But i started to ignore the thoughts and pray instead and this really helped. When i had a bad spike, i prayed a short pray that He would take the thoughts away. After about 2 weeks of diligence (not saying this was fun) my ocd came to a hault and now id almost non existent. God delivered me and he will do this to you as well if you keep your faith and hope high. Diligently pray for your healing. Christ took all diseases to the cross with Him so that we might be free of them. Trust that. Trust him.

So yes discredit them. The ocd thoughts are lies. LIES.And they bring unessasary guilt and anxiety. Ignore them, laugh at them for as many weeks you need to until you find yourself dilivered. This isnt time to settle with ocd. This is the time to be free of it. You dont have to live with it. Thats a lie form the pits of hell. Something that also helped me during a spike was to turn on soothing music on my headphones and relax when i felt condemnation. Ignoring them and laughing at them or telling yourself they are sily and stupid thoughts might be hard at first but keep at it. You wont go to hell for any thoughts if you are Christian. You just cant. And this should be good news.

Pray frequently because no one can heal you except the Lord God Almighty.

God bless you.
