Intrusive thought

I had such a horrible thought! Sometimes I can’t tell if they’re on purpose or accidental but my mind said a thought about “I reject God” then it said “with your heart”. I immediately started freaking out! I still feel the anxiety and fear. I’m trying so hard not to cry my eyes out. I did cry a bit but I’ve prayed for God & Jesus to please forgive me! I can’t live without them! I love Him so fricking much! To have a thought like that hurts so much! It bothers me! Makes me feel so much guilt and shame! I would NEVER say that or even want to think that but my mind is questioning did I think that on purpose or was it my OCD? Sometimes the blasphemous thoughts “feel” on purpose. Please any advice?! Does God still love me?! Will He forgive me for this thought?

You definitely still love Jesus! Intrusive thoughts attack the things we value most, so as strange as it sounds the fact that you are having these thoughts is proof of your love of God! 1 John 4:18 says that if you fear God it is for fear of punishment, but if you are able to wrap your mind around how much God loves you and the relationship He wants to have with you, you won’t fear Him at all! So here are some things about God you should consider that I think will help you understand His love even better: God is omniscient, which means all-knowing. He has known every single thing that you would ever do since before the creation of the world. He knows every step you’ll ever take, He has the hairs on your head numbered, and He knows your thoughts from afar. God is also considerably smarter than we could ever hope of being and He understands your thoughts and feelings better than you do. He knows your heart and can easily discern which thoughts are real and which ones are intrusive nonsense. He will never get confused about your thoughts or upset with you about them. Your thoughts don’t surprise Him and it is impossible for you to disappoint Him. Additionally, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you become a new creation. Your old self is crucified with Christ and it is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in you. You are filled with the Holy Spirit and your past, present, and future sins are completely covered once and for all by the blood of Jesus as you are imputed with His righteousness. This means that when God looks at you He just sees the righteousness of Christ and none of your sins! So if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior (and it sounds like you have) then that means that you can come boldly into God’s presence without any fear knowing that He approves of you, He loves you, and that you have been added into His family and will have an eternal inheritance! I am a Bible teacher and I get a little excited when it comes to discussing this stuff, so I may have given you way more than you wanted. But I’ll also gladly answer any questions if you have any. I hope this helps!

@Afterman Whether you are having thoughts that align with who you are or having intrusive thoughts that I understand are so disturbing to you allow Jesus to wrap his arms around you He knows your heart and he knows you love him. He knows what you are struggling with and he has compassion for you. We can’t fully comprehend the depth of his forgiveness and love. But we can trust him when he says he will never leave us or forsake us. Even when ocd tells you otherwise turn your eyes upon Jesus. He will walk along side of you on this earthly journey and when you can’t walk he will carry you He is with you now and for all eternity. Believe that he knows your heart. He is your lord and savior. And he is love

If you have a thought that don't want to have, or if you try not to have the thought but it still forces itself into your head, that is an intrusive thought. I have dealt with the same anti religious thoughts. God will forgive you for any sin you repent of. I don't know how else to help because I have had the same problem for a long time, and the only thing that helped was therapy and medication

Hi. Have you ever heard of Mark DeJesus? He's a believer , a former pastor and living with OCD. He has a lot of good resources about this very topic on YouTube. Search him sometime. And I'm praying for you. I've been a believer for many years and OCD plays tricks on me this way too! I'm always here to talk.

Religious OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

So about 2 weeks ago I started having blasphemous intrusive thoughts about God & Jesus! I’ve had them before but they’re hard to brush off because you feel awful and disgusted for even having them. They were “rejecting thoughts” I finally was able to just let them float on by and not pay attention to them. My main theme is doubting God & Jesus but I’ve noticed it’ll switch on me. Sometimes my mind will doubt if it’s OCD! So currently 2 days ago I’ve been getting the blasphemous thoughts again but when I said “I love you Jesus” I heard instead of Jesus it was Satan! I panicked and sometimes when I say I love Jesus and God I hear “I love you S____” it freaks me out!!! I love God & Jesus so much! Those thoughts cause so much anxiety!!! I would never say that thought and I wish it would go away or remove all those thoughts! I Like ughh those awful intrusive thoughts hurts so much! Some times if feels like I think them or say them purposely in my mind! But I try to remind myself I don’t want them! They cause so much anxiety and distress for a reason! It’s just so annoying when it’s constantly changing and throwing other “themes” I try to tell myself this is still in the same category! I had a certain blasphemous thought weeks ago and now it’s a “new” one and I think it’s still a thought it’s just different and maybe that’s how it’s trying to trip me up! But then usually a bunch of them start coming like beating me down! Maybe it’s the themes switching up on me again but ughh it’s really hard! Makes it feel like it’s me but I don’t want these thoughts at all!!! Everytime I say I love Jesus & God those thoughts come and just randomly! I feel like it’s “me” but I’m reminding myself it’s OCD! The more I react the more they come! They make me feel like God is mad at me or He doesn’t love me which I know isn’t true at all! I know He loves me so much!! It’s just so sad that my mind thinks that! Sometimes I feel like He is mad or will leave me but I know that’s not true!! Any advice please 😭

Religious OCD

Does anyone feel they say/think there blasphemous intrusive thoughts on purpose? Sometimes I feel like I say them but i reject that! I don’t want to think these thoughts! u would never say them out loud! Apart of me thinks since I thought stop a lot and thought replace a lot thats when it’s coming. I start thinking "don’t think it, don’t think it". I’ll start rejecting the other thoughts but mid way they start going to God & Jesus! Or I’ll feel cursing thoughts coming and I’ll say f OCD or f these lies then it’ll go over to God & Jesus! Then you just end of thinking it. Idk if my OCD is wanting me to think “oh since you thought it you said”. Like Thought Action type thing. Does anyone else go through this? It hurts. i love God & Jesus so much and to think "what if i thought this or said it in my mind on purpose!" any advice?

Religious OCD - intrusive thoughts

I love God & Jesus so much and having these awful blasphemous thoughts suck! I’ve been through this before and eventually got over it but it came back! I get cussing thoughts, rejection thoughts and just the opposite thoughts of who I am and what I value! I love them so much and I get scared what if I’ve said these intrusive thoughts out loud! I don’t think I have but the thoughts can be just so loud! Any advice to move forward past these thoughts? I’m trying to remind myself God & Jesus loves me no matter what but it can be hard when I’m being plagued by these blasphemous thoughts that make you doubt yourself too! Makes you doubt if you’re a Christian for these awful thoughts! Please any advice? Will God & Jesus be with me no matter what? I love them so much!
