When I was in college, I suffered a severe attack of intrusive thought-related OCD. It was so intense that I had to temporarily drop out of school. Later that year, in gracious answer to the prayers of family and friends, God healed me of OCD. He did it entirely through His Word! Whenever it has tried to come back, I simply meditate on the scriptural truths that God opened my eyes to see, appeal to God to renew my mind, and it goes away. I have walked in victory over OCD for over 35 years as a result.

Later, I wrote an article sharing the Biblical truths that God used to heal me of OCD, entitled Help For Christians Who Have Difficulty Controlling their Thoughts. I regularly receive emails from people telling me how the article has helped them. But others write asking for more help, and I have been providing pastoral counseling free of charge by email and phone for many years. My time for phone counseling was limited, however, because of a full time job, ministry, and family.

That changed recently when I saw that the article I had written regarding OCD had received over 14,000 visits in a single month! It was obvious that the need was very great.

Shortly afterwards, I went kayaking on a lake and spent the entire time seeking God for direction. After hours of intense prayer, I sensed that the Lord wanted me to go into Biblical counseling professionally so that I could help more people.

If you are suffering from OCD, I’d like to help. A course of seven sessions is best, to increase the odds of success. Click here to purchase.
