Bible Verses Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD, is an anxiety disorder (fear, worry or force) and is characterized by recurrent (repeat or again), unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive (boring) behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive (boring) behaviors such as hand-washing, hoarding, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called rituals (habit) however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases (big) anxiety. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid. OCD is a real mental illness and is most often helped through specific forms of therapy and medication. That being said, it is important for those suffering from OCD to look at what the Bible says about anxiety and the trustworthiness of God. Philippians 4:6-8 6) Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7) Then you will experience Gods peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8) And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about tings that are excellent and worthy of praise. .
