It’s not hopeless. You can take thoughts captive as in 2Cor 10:3-5. Pray about it so that God will just let you say ‘captive’ and you’ll see what happens. Try it.

Please pray God will protect me and my mind. Amen
God will protect your mind the moment you ask Him but you need to do your bit too. It is your mind, after all.

Read the Gospels or if your not in a position to do so, mentally repeat the name of 'Jesus' as much as you need to.

Sing praise songs when troubling thoughts come. Repeat Bible verses. They’re all kinds of videos on YouTube with scripture only songs and scripture Bible promises. They are your medicine. They are your weapon.

keep praying for me please folks
Prayed the following to be real for you:

Philippians 4:6-8 NIV

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

I agree that praise music is a potent way to snuff out intrusive thoughts by focusing on Him, with emphasis on thanksgiving. God inhabits the praise of His people.

What's some of your favorite Scriptures? You could devour those. Read them in different Bible versions. Memorize them, write them,etc

Thankfully God gives us a solution. When that thought comes, immediately turn your focus on God and His Word. Repeat as needed..

When I was told what II Cor 10:5 meant, I thought - there's no way. But tried it. It wasn't easy and it didn't happen in a few minutes. But asks the Lord for help & found His Word is true.

You can be healed of this Deeper99 as I suffered terribly with tormenting thoughts & mental illness and God has healed me. I will pray for your healing too and that you draw closer to him.

As mentioned several times earlier in this thread, praise songs that always touch your heart are a "medicine", and "armor" against those whisperings of the enemy. They wallop him BIG TIME. That's why he runnnnnnns!!!!

This verse comes to mind:

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

Praying! :heart:
