More prayers against intrusive thoughts

Been having a really hard time with intrusive thoughts and images that keep popping into my mind. I'm so tired of it. I made an appointment to get help for them and it seems ever since I did, the thoughts got worse. I'm so tired of going through this, it's emotionally draining me and it's affecting different areas of my life.

Do you have these thoughts/images during the daytime or while trying to sleep (insomnia)? Our minds wander sometimes when we are trying to sleep.

No, I don't have them when I'm sleep, just during the day.

Hi Gemmy,

I understand your frustration. When I fight “intrusive thoughts and images,” I try to replace them with Biblical thoughts and images. It’s a battle. Keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Philippians 4:8-10 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Hello, Gemmy. I like your pretty profile picture. 😊

This verse came to mind, particularly the second sentence:

"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7

I am posting mainly to encourage you of this: he will flee! I am confident that you are already doing what you know to do to resist these thoughts, and so I encourage you to cling to this verse, that as you keep fighting against his attacks he will give up. ❤️ May the Lord be merciful to you in this situation. 🙏🏻

Lord we bring Gemmy, and this prayer before you and pray, let you stop instrusive thoughts and piur your thoughts upon Gemmy. Lord please bless, in Jesus precious name, Amen!
