Leigh, I very much agree with you. I do this with my diet. The more I think "I can't eat this - don't eat this - this is so bad for me" it backfires. It's like the "don't think about the pink elephant scenario."

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies!

James have you ever dared yourself to keep thinking the thoughts, instead of fighting them? I've done this with my anxiety and it actually makes the anxiety lessen and go away.

Leigh!
You make lots of sense to me. I can really see how this would work.

James, i feel this advice would truly help you.
I hope it does.

And Shif, I do see your point here with food.
You guys are making very good sense.

I can understand this.

My best to all here!!
MJ

I just don't understand how I could Love Jesus and have evil thoughts of him at the same time. Sometimes I avoid hearing his name because I know the thoughts will come, but then I have to hear his name to try to overcome.
And the Lord said evil thoughts proceed from the heart and I hope this isn't my heart but I am thinking them, my thoughts also go against other people and my wife who I love dearly. It so much to have on you when you hate to talk about it, even though I have. Please pray!!!!!

Oh my goodness. I deal with the same thing. It sucks and I hate it and I want to be free. I always tell God how I want to be normal again.

I am so anxious and panicky now because I am eating a snack and saying "Thank you, Lord, for this food I have" but instead I hear the cursing and hateful words, making feel like I am not true to being thankful, when I am! I constantly repeat this over and over until I DO NOT hear the bad anymore, but it gets louder and I end up not eating my snack or meal until the fear or words go away. I feel as if I am not being thankful for just appreciating all I have, because of these stupid thoughts. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING and why can I not get better and live normally and unfearful?????

Dear ww,

I say again that the thoughts will persist as long as you try to resist them. They are in no way sins, and God understands. Eat your snack in peace!

Love your friend,

Fr Ed

I know your struggle. All I can say is cast the thoughts down. Get in the Word and try to meditate day and night and when the thoughtas come replace them with the Word of God. Try fasting.

Theres a chance that you have some deep hidden resentment towards god. Maybe he took away someone you cared about or maybe you find it too difficult to follow the rules of the bible. Of course I could be wrong too.

and what about the thoughts make them bad? You spend what 80% of the time worshipping and loving god and 20% not so much.
