Satan is attacking me.....what do I do?

[lilbobby86]

I have been having trouble with a lot of anxiety and depression lately. I keep getting these thoughts of doubt and wondering if I'll ever be in peace with my life. I keep thinking about the news and the world at war and prophecy and things like that. I just want these thoughts and mental pains to go away. What should I do?

Just pray for peace and contentment. God will protect you and guide you thru your daily life and help you with your trials.

Bro, I think satan is attacking alot of people with this issue recently including myself and a friend of mine......All you can do is just keep praying and reading your bible and no matter what you tell yourself that God is there and that satan is full of lies.....God sometimes allows us to struggle like this so that someday we grow into the man/woman of God that he wants us to be....Stay Close to Jesus.

Read The Sermon on the Mount. Read the Beatitudes and remember that you are blessed. Read the words of Jesus and keep your eyes on him.

Well, I am going to try a different approach, because I have had a similiar probelm. I found that I have obsessive compulsive disorder, which in an anxiety disorder. It produces thoughts or 'obsessions' in my mind that i can only get relief by performing rituals or compulsions. I have thought the Devil was after my soul for the past 18 years. I had an emotional breakdown... there's a thread in this forum called "Worst Problem Ever" if you wanted to read more about that issue.

I am not saying you have the same thing as me, but my issue was caused by a chemical imbalance that can be corrected. So, if you do have those thoughts, I would recommend seeing a doctor. If it is an anxiety disorder, they can put you on Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and the thoughts will virtually go away.

On top of that, I agree with everyone here. Jesus is not going to let anyone hurt you. When I had my problems, he showed me over and over again that he was with me. Whenever I was at my worst, he gave me a sign that he was watching over me.

You'll be in my prayers. Please PM me if you need to talk since we seem to be in similiar boats.

Peace and love,
Jacob

Thanks, I appreciate all your comments. I'm starting to feel a little better already. I'll take your advice and pray and maybe even seek medical attention if that's the case. Thanks again...................

One thing that can really help is to meditate on God's sovereignty. Even when things don't go the way we want, maybe God wants to use it to bring you into closer communion with Him. Maybe you can ask Him to show you what He is accomplishing, or at least know your soul is safe with Him. Ask Him to comfort you. The first chapter of 2 Corinthians is a good read.
