Trauma in childhood, opens my mind to unwanted thoughts.
I don’t know I have a choice of thoughts until I am in my twenties.
In the second year of our marriage I wake nightly at 3:00 A.M., with tormenting thoughts. The only way I return to sleep is to read a God stories.
Soon after this starts, I hear someone on the radio talk about the authority of the believer.
They say, “If Jesus is your Lord and Savior, you are a child of God and He has given you authority in Jesus’ name over Satan!”
The next night I wake, I speak out-loud, “Devil you have no place here, I am a child of God! Go! Flee!”
The tormenting thoughts leave immediately but come back. I repeat for two more nights and he leaves for good.
This Wisdom works well for 40 years, but today I need God to step up and help!
Lately, I have been confessing Philippians 4:4-8 out loud as a prayer asking God for help to keep my mind thinking what is good, true, honorable, right, pure, lovely excellent, and worthy of Praise.
Last week, while reading scripture out loud satanic pictures drop into my mind. I tell Satan to take his pictures and leave but they don’t.
I don’t understand how bad thoughts are filling my mind as I read my Bible but here they are.
Since I have been praying Philippians I thought, ask God!
“God could you fill my mind with what is Good, True, Pure, and Honorable.”
He Did!
Has anyone else needed help with unwanted thoughts?
Yes adhd and severe insomnia and anxiety and the thing is I can’t hold my body and mind still and I really need God’s peace that passes understanding. I’m waiting for a doctor appointment so until then I need desperate prayers 🙏 I love Jesus ❤️
When I was in the hospital for tone intestines all I had was Psalm 23 but it didn’t do what I needed, so when I arrived home I found Psalm 27 that has carried me through the next 35 years. Search the Psalms for something that calms your soul and meditate on it daily and in the night when needing peace.
