Self-Afflictions - Written by Becky C.

The eeriness of ones mind can be swallowed up by its own thoughts. Scratched record repeating the same words. Why stop the record? For all these years that has become my favorite verse.

People's lips moving, but the door of silence shuts as soon as someone says your worthy. These positive words irritate with each spoken over me. What do they know? They don't live inside of me.

My mind can be a vacuum, sucking the life right out of me. Freely giving disingenuous smiles to every one passing me. What do I feel rolling down my face? I know its not raining. They are coming down too quick, I can't control it! It won't stop happening...

Reflection so clear when I look in the mirror. The hammer of unworthiness damaged my brain so bad, that its no longer functional. With each stroke of the hammer hitting my head I'm starting to black out. Dosing off in my despair.

Do I feel at one with the pain and affliction I bring on myself? Did I feel so comfortable in my anger and empties that I welcomed it with open arms? This can't be right! Would I afflict such pain to another? God-forbid!

My heart pleads stop this torture you keep bringing upon yourself! Are you not tired yet? Because I'm tired of seeing you black out by the abuse of each stroke of the hammer, that holds no truth. Just give me the hammer, I'll throw it away. I'm begging you please! Don't give up on yourself! Remember your God's child! Theirs a greater peace and hating yourself is not the answer, how my aching heart needs you too believe.

Rebecca2188,

"Heavenly Father I ask that you quiet this woman's mind, and fill it with Your Peace. I also ask that she will love herself as you love her...unconditionally. I ask these things in the name of Jesus. I thank you for hearing and answering this request, for I know you will."

Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us (you) a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Rebecca2128, Rebuke the torment, "In Jesus' name." Get somewhere quit, talk to God about your concerns, worries, fears... Ask him to remove this returning torment and keep it from your mind. If it starts to return, say, "No! I rebuke you in Jesus' name. I cast you out!." It will flee. Keep doing this until it ceases. It will. I know, I've been there. Over the years there have been a couple of times when I felt the sensation trying to regain a foothold, but I rebuked it each time and it immediately left.

Keep rebuking and casting it out in the name of Jesus and it will have no option but to flee. God will do the work for you, for He promised to never leave (leave, then come back) or forsake (leave for good) you. Stand on His words. They are a sure foundation.

In His love,
Joseph
