Bad Thoughts, Anger, and Rage!?!?!?

[jacksoncharvel61]

Hello guys, can you *please* pray for me, recently this year I've been getting all these homosexual thoughts, I know I'm not homosexual or anything, I wish they would just go away. I know it's the devil who's putting these *stupid* thoughts in my head, can you guys please offer suggestions to help me get rid of these thoughts!?!?!? I also have a masturbation problem that I really want to go away, I've been masturbating for 3 years, and I hate and regret it, it's so hard to stop!!! Also, how do I get rid of this hate that's inside of me, it comes from all the people who've done me wrong in my life and all, our corrupt society, TV, the media, and my sinful nature. In a sense, this hate/rage keeps me going, knowing that one day I'll have the last laugh !?!?!? This hate, rage, and anger has been burning deep inside me for years, and I'm afraid that if I don't put a stop to it NOW, it could REALLY DO damage to my relationship with GOD, others, and even myself. To me, ""Rage is Depression turned Inward". PLEASE pray for me and others as well. I NEED HELP!!!

You came to the right place for us to pray for you.

Dear Lord,

We pray for jacksoncharvel61. You know his heart.
Make those homosexual thoughts go away Lord.
We also pray to help him get control of masturbation issues.
Comfort him to know that past is in the past.

Thanks you for listening God

I would suggest leaving the past in the past.
You can not do anything about it. Try to move on. Get into the scripture.
Get involved in church activities - volunteer to help others.
It is hard to think about your stuff when you are helping others and it makes you feel better.

Re: your anger issues, I used to be a very violent person and was angry a LOT (once I got suspended for stabbing a guy in the arm with a pen, ironically enough we are now fairly good friends) I just want to say a few things that might help you
1) You have made a good first step by praying and getting others to pray for you
2) Try to forgive the person and ask for their forgiveness. If you can get in contact with them tell them something along the lines of "You did xyz and I have hated it ever since, I want you to know that I forgive you for this and ask your forgiveness for hating"
3) One thing that helped me was I started learning Kung-Fu, part of what it teaches is self control, I am not suggesting that you need to learn Kung-Fu or anything like that but things like that or Yoga (the movements not necessarily the beliefs behind them) can often help to calm me when I am feeling angry/upset/stressed.

Hope that helps, and I shall certainly pray for you.
