No matter if I think Im doing something wrong or not I pray "please god forgive me of all of my sins lord and thank you god amen" usually in those exact words constantly, usually when Im worried. Im not even sure if I believe in god, Im really confused with that. And usually i dont just pray it once at a time, I pray it over, and over, and over. I have OCD and so I know that contributed some or all to it. But I mean is it really normal? kuz I cant seem to stop without freaking out

    Omg, I seriously can't believe I just found this post. I've had OCD forever and I've always, always done this same thing. Like I will repeat a prayer in my head over and over.

    I feel like its just a part of the OCD. People do odd things when they have OCD and there is no explanation other than the wiring in our brains.

    Even someone who believes has doubts, that is normal. Maybe you'd be more comfortable if you figure that out first, if not, you could try making a real genuine prayer, and see if that changes anything. One for instance could be to make his presence known, if that is what you want.

    You need to go on youtube and search for: legacy of a prophet

    I understand how you feel. I'm not really sure if I believe in God either, but I still say a prayer every night.
