How to Cast Your Cares on God
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- If you’re looking for Biblical teachings on how to overcome religious OCD (aka scrupulosity), you’re in the right place. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ and I’ve struggled with religious OCD myself. I have three degrees in theological specializations, so I approach this topic purely from a spiritual perspective, but I recognize that religious OCD has a considerable amount of overlap between spirituality and psychology. While I support and strongly recommend medical/psychological interventions, it is outside the scope of my expertise to offer psychological counseling of any kind. The information provided on my channel is not intended to be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis and treatment, but rather for educational and informational purposes only.

Love this. Been out of work for four years caring for my disabled sister. She passed in March, and now I am alone. I finished college in August and am seeking work. I do have some hindrances, like no car, no access to transportation, minor health issues. I am behind in my (lot)rent and need things. The job market is tough, and I feel guilty for not having an income. I want to cast my care and trust God's provision, but I feel like it is my place to have a job. As I said, the search is tough given the circumstances. Don't know what to do.
It’s so true give it but take it back
Thanks be to God for you and your work for the ocd community!
My absolute biggest fear is losing salvation, being unable to get it back and being condemned to Hell. Simple as that.
Have you ever considered that the true Gospel is complete trust in Jesus that he is your Saviour. If you believe you can lose salvation then you are putting your trust in yourself. Because it depends on your works. The true Gospel is good news. That we cannot save ourselves so we believe on Him to save us. And our belief he will is our total eternal security. We must rest in him all of us who are burdened and heavy laden. Peace.
May God bless you trulyy!

There’s so many verses that give you assurance on why a true regenerated Christian can’t “lose” his salvation. If you lose “eternal life”, then it wasn’t “eternal”. Look for “doctrines of grace”, it will help you A LOT if this is your biggest fear.
Such a good word, thanks for sharing.
Thank you sister
So helpful! THANK YOU❤
Very well done!
Go Jesus!!!!
This devotional was EXCELLENT and exactly what I needed to hear! The point about Jonah was so good! I’d never even thought of that. What a loving Father we have ❤
So glad it was helpful for you today. Praise the Lord!
Excellent. Thank you so much for doing the Lord’s work! Nice to put a face to the brilliant writing I’ve been following for a while now.
Oh how neat! Glad you've been enjoying the blog. I do prefer writing to talking to a camera, but I think it'll be fun to share some Scriptural thoughts with you guys through this medium, too :)
Wow, responsibility is something I feel big time, thank you. Verging into a lack of trust, I confess. I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it…..
I am so so so happy to know that other people are going through the same thing and that I am not alone. When you said "OCD Community", it hit sooooo deep. I felt like I am really unalone, known and loved. Thank you so much Jaimie for this community...Much love to you and may the Lord God....keep you.
In Christ,
Tshytshy.
I love your use of the word "unalone!" You are so right! You have Christ with you, but you also have LOTS of people who are struggling with this disorder.
Yes please do these. I send people to you often
May God bless you for all you do to support others with scrupulosity! In eternity you'll discover your impact!
I am suffering from a thought that just wont let me be. Every morning that thought comes through my mind. Its gotten so bad that i dont even know what i truly believe anymore. My emotions are so strong with fear and anxiety... Even though i agree with God's Word, its as if everything tells me im lying.
Im just tired😔☹️
So sorry to hear how tired your anxiety has been making you. Remember God invites you come and cast your cares on Him. He loves you! ❤️
Your state of mind sounds verry challenging
and
He has prepared a way to bring relief. (MH 481.1)
He is faithful.
You write, that this thought comes every morning. Isaiah had the experience of being awakened throug God morning by morning to be taught by Him:
"He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to hear as one being taught." (Isaiah 50:4)
"You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the Lord forever,
For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength."
(Isaiah 26:3-4)
"Wasn’t he actually speaking to us? Yes, it was written for us …" 1 Corinthians 9:10
May you have "perfect peace, and at such a time." (Ezra 7:12)
Immanuel-Prince of Peace-God! with us.
Music of faith is a most powerfull weapon to gulde and captivate our thoughts in wholesome path. - Something I repeatedly experience.
May you be well.

Awesome Jaimie, couldn't have been more timely. Felt like this was meant for me to hear right now. Thank our precious God and you for devoting so much of yourself to help those of us who struggle with Scrupulosity.
Thanks, Jerry, I'm glad it was timely for you! Keep looking up!
Cannot tell you thank you enough for this encouragement. My sister sent it to me because I have been struggling with spiritual anxiety and unwanted thoughts. Man, it has been such a blessing to me. Your tips on giving it to God and not taking it back we’re so helpful. The Lord definitely used you to touch me and encourage me. Thank you so much for this devotional and for following the Lord in putting it up.
Hey, so glad it was an encouragement to you. God's got His ways of teaching and leading us. Keep trusting, you'll make it through!
So beautiful!! This came at such a perfect time❤️. God BLESS YOU
Thank you! You too!
I am sharing this with several close friends with anxiety/ OCD struggles ❤
I love that you are doing these Jamie!! 🥰🙏
simple, powerful but a much needed devotional! thank you!
Thank you Jamie for your devotional. I like how you broke the scripture down and spoke to applying that scripture when we feel anxious and need to let go. I definitely relate to that being someone who deals with OCD on a daily basis. May God richly bless for the time you took to make this video. Have a blessed evening! Julie
Thank you for your kind words, Julie! I hope you'll enjoy forthcoming videos as well :)
Your welcome
Absolutely love listening to you Jamie! You are such a gift to all of us who suffer with scrupulosity! Thank you!
I have started to state/claim this Bible verse in my daily prayer to God where I ask Him to solve everything for me. I say "everything" because I have so many things that I cannot solve, answer, or even explain and the list keeps growing daily (we do get attacked daily after all and I have to NOT try to solve these attacks). Several things are worries that I need God to explain to me like what happened in my mind, what was my thought process, etc.
The other part about leaving it with God is somewhat made easier for me because I realize that the things I need Him to explain require an actual audible discussion with Him. And that won't happen until the afterlife so this kind of forces me to definitely leave it with Him. It still gives me anxiety but I can at least "worry about it later" when I see Him.
That was amazing,,I noticed that I was praying so much and asking for forgiveness,, repetitive ruminating on my sins,knowing that I repented but wasn't able to move on,but now I know that when you repent and ask for forgiveness,you must now live a life without sin and move forward and if you do sin,,just get on your knees and repent but don't continualsly keep making the same mistakes. Faith is a process of working on it. It's ok that faith and belief is a roller coaster ride. God knows how hard life is but as long as we don't commit blasphemy..your video was extremely helpful,,thank you and may we continue to work hard and grow in faith with our heavenly father 🙏,,God bless
God bless you, Pete! You're right, faith is a process we grow in faith and learn more...like a mustard seed that stars small and develops over time. Don't expect instant perfection. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and He'll make happen what's supposed to happen.
@@jaimieeckert we become what we think about,so if we think about God and our Lord Jesus Christ always that's what will be, disciples and children of God,,even if our minds tell us differently because God looks at the heart not at the mind. It's ok to have scruopolosity OCD,,GOD knows it's not the intention of the heart but of our brains. But as long as we stand firm and continue to pray and stay away from sin and live by faith and not by sight,,our reward will be like no other,, blessings on your videos,, you're planting the seed in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless always
"Trusting the redirect..." Yes ma'am. Oh thank you... Much love, see you and others on the next one.
You are so welcome!

Hey, Jaimie.
Great video.
My question is, how do we know it’s our OCD not leaving it with God rather than Satan toying with us and messing with our mind?
This was really great and informational. Thanks so much for posting!
Glad it was helpful! Hope you're doing well, it's been a little while ;)

Thank you for the input, we will make sure it's changed in future videos ;)
Appreciate your words, but the MUSIC! Please, no........
To each his own 😂 I loved the music! ❤
Haha my husband and I were just debating the merits of the background music. Will try for something better in upcoming videos! Thanks!
Lol! I didn’t even think about the music but the weird colored light flashes seemed odd 😅
But thanks Jaimie for sharing! What you’re doing is a gift from God to me!
@@jaimieeckert Thanks for reply! Something better would be no music. So hard to concentrate on what you are saying, which is always so helpful. xx
