If OCD, then Faith

So one way some people with OCD including me deal with doubt is by testing themselves.  This is not only a waste of time, but it doesn't help.  I, finally, through the grace of God figured out when I was testing myself and how I tested myself. What I learned is testing yourself doesn't help you figure out that your doubt was wrong, because if I believed that I wouldn't do it again.  Yet I have tested myself again for the same thing. It also doesn't really make you feel better, but actually makes you feel anxious in the what if experience.  The best advice I have is to get going with what you deep down believe is right and let go of the doubt, if you can.  What works for me when I feel I can't, is using the bible verse: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  And then it is easier to let the doubt and worries go.  I am done with testing myself! I can stop testing myself through Christ who strengthens me!
