Tell me if im right or wrong about worrying about this

Question

im just trying to go to the extreme and seeing how it is because i obsess about one thing for so long and wonder if i should pray for forgiveness for something. but i don't know if i've done wrong or not. i had the same thing laste time where i had the feeling of need to confess to my grandma that i masturbated. but i didn't eventually. what the worst thing that can happen if i don't pray for forgiveness?

i felt the same way when i was worrying about not confessing. does ocd give the same feeling all the time?

answerers said that i didn't need to pray for forgiveness, but once again im wondering if i might have done wrong in something that i might have done wrong. it's just too complex. i just feel so uncomfortable if i don't think over mostly the same things and know that it's ok. im also wondering if i'll feel bad if i don't pray for forgiveness because this will relieve my anxiety. i was overthinking too when i was worrying about not confessing.

i know that people with ocd pray as a compulsion, so do they pray for forgiveness or just pray when it is completely unnecessary to? is this the case for me?

i've been feeling bad lately, thinking if im just moving on without doing something i should be doing like maybe praying for forgiveness. i guess i had praying thing on my mind subconsciously. frustration was involved in something that i think i might have done wrong. i also get frustrated for other things and im wondering if i have to pray for forgiveness for not only the original one, but the things afterwards. i just think about so many things and i don't feel good if i don't go over them. i think this is it for now, but it goes on and on.

Answer 1

Prayer is telling God what you want. Meditation is listening to God. See site below to find the  peace you are looking for. Your mind is filled with all sorts of bad beliefs.

Never drink alcohol. It is illegal if you are under 21. Never smoke. It is illegal if you are under 16. But it is never illegal at any age to m********e, even at 2 years old!

Answer 2

Dont wear out your prayers on petty c**p. listen. find a way to occupy your mind. get an mp3 player, fill it with random songs you would not normally listen to, and listen to it on shuffle all night... even if you loose some sleep, you will get used to it and fall back into a healthy sleep routine. the trick here is to make your mind exhausted. keep changing your music everyday.

Answer 3

i've had this problem for many years. I would always pray to God asking for forgiveness and not for anything bad to happen to my family. I don't have that problem at all.If I pray constantly it/s because I'm praying for someone who really needs God's help. God loves you and we all make mistakes he died on the cross just to show how much he loves us. You don't need to pray constantly. Just know in your heart that you are sorry. This really helped me a lot. Praying might relieve your axiety but try to ignore the problem just let it gon and think about something else.

I remember how terrible this problem was for me. It's like you had to pray all the time. A little trick worked a little for me im not sure if itll work for you. Since everytime you feel like you have to pray just tap your thumb and index finger together. If you can get into the habit of that youy wont drive your self crazy. So liek every time you feel like you've done something wrong you pray for gorgiveness. Now when ever yuou want to pray for forgiveness instead jsut tap your index and thimb together. This helps a little. But dont do this if you think youll get annoyed with the tapping.

Please calm down! You seem anxious! Do you deal with a Generalized Anxiety Disorder? You sound a whole lot like me. Calm down, please calm down, please calm down, and take some breaths in and out for a few minutes. You asked for forgivness and now you're forgiven by God and your grandmother. You masturabted; It's ok. I do it and everyone does it; They may not admit to it, but it's totally normal and healthy. Write in a journal, read a book, or take a walk for a few minutes; Please get this off your mind.
