Sorry for that vague title, but I don't know what else I could title this. I'm going through a lot, and I need some help. So for a while now, I've had a serious problem. I keep thinking horrible things in my head. I don't mean any of these things, but I just keep thinking them. I've tried to stop it, but every suggestion I get never works. I've thought horrible things towards God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit that I don't mean. They just keep coming into my head and I can't make it stop. I've said many other horrible things, too, and it's led to me doubting if I would be forgiven, and a lot of sadness. Every time I think these things, I take it back immediately, but I still feel horrible about it. I've also started thinking things that I don't want. I've thought things like "dang" me (except the actual really bad word. I don't feel comfortable typing it). I think things other horrible things like this, and they get me really scared as well. I searched things up about it, and all I found were sites about the importance of repentance. This is also getting me scared, because turning from your sins is part of repentance, but I literally can't stop these thoughts in my head, so what can I do? I really need help. I don't know what to do, and I'm scared and sad. If anyone can give some reassurance, it'd be appreciated.

The thoughts you are hearing in your head are not you. They are what scripture calls the prince of the power of the air.

childeye2 is right. The devil plants those things in your head to get you to doubt your Christianity. I used to get them too a long time ago. A good thing is just to praise God you are saved because Jesus died for you when they come. satan won't like that, persevere, and I think you will find they gradually lessen

I've tried to stop it, but every suggestion I get never works.

The only way to stop it is though the Blood of Jesus. We have to keep praying it through until God gives us peace. The angels fight the battle for us. There is a lot of teaching about this in the Bible. We need to be single minded before God, we can not allow ourselves to be double minded no matter how much the enemy attacks we still have the victory in Jesus as an overcomer.

Welcome friend.
2nd Corinthians 10:5 is the first thing that came to my mind after reading the OP.
God bless.

I'm not a Doctor but it could be intrusive thoughts? I think as long as you are sorry for your thoughts you're fine. Keep "catching" them and you'll improve so you can disgregard them immediately. If you stress about it you'll make it worse. If it's involuntary it's involuntary, you can't help it? Like blinking

Just remember Jesus loves you very much and He knows our hearts. God bless you and Jesus is Lord.

So can I make it stop?

I cannot be absolutely certain, but I do not think so.

There is a spiritual battle going on everyday as far as I can tell, and what we believe to be true determines what spirit/sentiment will occupy one's heart. Most thoughts that are Satanic are usually subtle and cunning, but not all thoughts are so covert. In fact the more one sees the battle the more clear the enemy becomes. His words appeal to our vanity. Satan's words want us to believe that God hurts us, and his narrative always focuses on what we are missing or rather seem to be missing in our lives. I even believe that Satan wants us to believe that God is constantly testing us, so as to cast doubt between God and ourselves.

You're probably going to have to just get used to the battle and learn how and why to stay thankful to God for the least of things. Try to give thanks to God for things you do not even see that He does. If you give in and do not fight, then an acceptance of a false reality sets in and insanity will follow in greater degrees.

And will God listen to the things I said but don't want?

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you saying that you spoke words our of some of these thoughts that you didn't want? If so, just say you didn't mean them in Jesus' name, but remember God knows if we lie. If you're not sure that you didn't mean them, then you need to be convinced why they are lies. In that case you need to have a conversation with the Holy Spirit who guides into all Truth. I've never won an argument with the Holy Spirit, and I have always been left grateful for the discourse and correction. But I can advise you myself not to beat yourself up for having these thoughts. That is your vanity. So long as you can forgive others who say things or think bad things you are not in any hypocrisy.

If you listen to nothing else, PAY ATTENTION TO THAT POST!

The more you fear not being forgiven for things that go on in your mind, the worse those things will get. Strangely, fear brings excitement.
You will get agitated by those thoughts, You would be animated, overwrought, disturbed, nervous, and panic stricken at those thoughts, for you would fear unforgiveness because of them. All those words are dictionary definitions of the word 'excite' In my dictionary, the definition of panic stricken is frenzy, and the definition of frenzy is wild excitement. So although you hate those thoughts, your fear of them, strangely, is going to bring you to have emotions that bring you to an excited state when you think about them.
Put it this way. If I said to you: ''If you think of a pink elephant God will condemn you to hell'', what is the first thought that will come into your head if you believe me? Pretty soon you would be consumed by thoughts of the silly creature. However, as you know you will not be condemned/unforgiven if you think of a pink elephant you will not get animated, overraught, disturbed, nervous and panic stricken about it will you? You won't even think about it. So as long as you fear these thoughts will result in unforgiveness/condemnation, they are only going to get worse

I think what you are going through is a very common form of spiritual attack. I experienced it myself and found it very hard since it was distressing to have thoughts in my mind that were contrary to what I wanted. I found the most helpful thing to do was to praise God for His majesty and greatness and thank Him that He was more powerful than anything else. I would read through some passages of the Bible and use them as a prayer to Him. So for example, Romans 8, from verse 31, I would pray something like "thank you Lord that because You are for me, no one can stand against me. Thank you that no one an bring a charge against me because You are the one who justifies. Thank you that I don't need to fear condemnation because Jesus has risen from the dead and is interceding for me..." and so on.

(NB: This is assuming you haven't done anything to 'open the door' to this kind of attack - if you have been involved in any kind of occult practices etc, then obviously this needs to be dealt with differently. But if not, then it's just the devil having a go at you)

What I meant by the second thing is that I might say something in my head like "dang" me. Obviously I don't want that, and I take it back immediately. It's just a quick, unwanted thought. It might seem like a dumb question, but will He listen to those things? Will he actually do things that I ask for in a quick moment but don't want? You know, if I thought something like "do something bad" but I didn't actually want something bad to happen. I feel like I know the answer, but I need some reassurance from someone else.

I'm trying to put myself in your shoes. I believe that I would have to not like myself to curse myself. That's the spirit/sentiment behind cursing one's self. So it seems to me that there's something you are being told to not like about yourself. Also, no God does not curse anyone or anything because we tell Him to.
