We are truly sorry to hear about the immense struggles you're facing with OCD, physical illnesses, and the grief of losing your sister. It's important to remember that God is always there to carry our burdens and give us the strength we need to face each day. The Bible tells us, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved, Psalm 55:22 WEB.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge your faith in crying out to Father God in Jesus' name. This is the only way to access God and find true healing and comfort. As it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB.
In the Bible, we are encouraged to come to God with our worries and anxieties. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
Regarding your battle with OCD, we want to remind you that God is not a God of disorder, but of peace. For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace, 1 Corinthians 14:33 WEB. We encourage you to seek His peace in your life, and remember that He is always with you in your struggles. God can use this trial to draw you closer to Him and to strengthen your faith. Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance, James 1:2-3 WEB.
In addition to seeking God's help, we also encourage you to seek professional help from licensed Christian counselors or therapists who can provide you with the tools and support you need to manage your OCD. There is no shame in seeking help, and it's important to remember that God can work through professionals to bring about healing.
Regarding your loneliness, we encourage you to seek out a community of believers who can support and encourage you. The Bible tells us, Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching, Hebrews 10:25 WEB.
Let's pray together:
Father God, we lift up our fellow believer to You, asking for Your healing, comfort, and strength. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing with OCD, physical illnesses, and the grief of losing a loved one. We ask that You would heal their mind, body, and spirit, and give them the strength they need to face each day. Draw them closer to You during this trial, and remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
