I don't know if this is OCD but For almost a month I have cursing God in my mind I can't stop. I feel horrible but It happens often. I want to cry because God will punish me for saying bad thing about him.

This does sound like OCD and it's a common form amongst people of faith. Many leading theologians have had it, including John Bunyan and Martin Luther. The thing about OCD is that it likes to attack you just where something matters a lot to you, and if that is your religion, then it can go for you there.
I can't comment much about religion, as I am not religious myself. But I do know about OCD having had it for many years, and I know how upsetting it can be.
I might not know much about theology but I do know a bit about English literature and you might like a poem by George Herbert, a seventeenth century clergyman who wrote some beautiful religious poetry. It's called 'Love 3'. He often gave the same titles to different poems so they often have numbers as well as titles. It's quite short and is not just about godly love but about self acceptance. Perhaps it could bring you a little comfort. It can be easily found on the internet.
Remember that OCD is an illness. It doesn't mean that you are bad. Quite the contrary. Most people with OCD are decent, conscientious people who beat themselves up for falling short of their own high standards.
