If you thought horrible things you want to repent of thinking against the Holy Spirit because you were tempted or angry, can you be forgiven? I just feel empty and hopeless. Jesus said blasphemy of the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven and that evil thoughts come from the heart. I want to repent, but feel as though there is no hope or forgiveness. Please help

I get unwanted thoughts and compulsions to call the holy spirit evil and I don't want to say something like that. I suffer from religious ocd. Please pray for me that God delivers me from an evil heart and tongue.
He did Robbie, nearly 2,000 years ago! He knew we needed Him. Instead of living in fear of being punished for your transgressions, live in peace knowing that His death covered our every iniquity. Believe that He died for ALL of our sins (all were forgiven that day), but we rose with Him in new life in His resurrection upon having placed our faith in Him. He lived the perfect life for us that we could not, and then took the punishment on the cross that we deserved. We place our faith in Him for us and are then eternally secured...rest assured!
