Hello Crystal welcome to the forums
You may like to browse the forums which take a while to get used to but it will get easier. Perhaps if you go to the forum Christian Advice you could post a specific question.
To do this go to Main forum, then "Equipping the saints" and then the subforum "Christian Advice".
I hope this is of some help.

Heavenhome,
How do I post things on that forum or any?

Oh, yeah. This is essentially an epidemic problem, especially among younger adults in their 20's and 30's. Pretty much every week, we get a number of new users describing this exact problem. I have this, too, but it's milder.

I strongly, strongly suspect that there is a spiritual and a neurological component; spiritual attack, and sensory overload thanks to social media and cell phone use. Anyway... you are not alone.

God be with you, dear, and Merry Christmas!

Yep, it started as just a terrible thought towards God, then all possible terrible thoughts I could think of towards Him started coming, to a point I can't even communicate with my son I go to church and I can't even think about what's being preached because what's being preached there's an attack on it, I read the Word and there's an attack on that it's continuous blasphemous thoughts and then it turned into heartfelt feelings almost as if I was abandoned and I began getting angry and very disoriented, resorting back to old habits and just feeling like there's no way to escape this and I hope it goes away soon I just hope God will forgive me for all the anger and all the things I've said during this time I want to grow with my son I want to continue to go to church I was on fire for God and this thing has completely crippled me, I felt like God used to speak to me most all the time almost every time I had a question and now I feel like it's stopped and when He does speak to me when I feel like He's speaking to me I feel like I don't deserve it and just have evil thoughts towards Him like there's something living inside of me that doesn't want anything to do with Him and I know it's crazy I just hope that this isn't forever and I hope that He would still love me through this all I'm just trying to reach out, maybe talk to somebody who got through this and could help get me through this. I go to church, iI g to a small church and a lot of the time I get told things like "everybody has bad thoughts" or "I know this seems very serious in real to you" things like that and I understand where they're coming from they just don't get why my mind is doing this and I don't either, and I used to be able to soak into things they said and it would help me but it seems as if it just feeds the issue now and I love my church family my brothers and sisters they're very good to me and my son, where I go the truth is preached. I need relief and it comes and goes, the longest relief I can remember lasted for a couple months I believe now it's like I get relief for Navy minutes or hours and and then I'm back into the same same dying state. Thanks for taking your time to talk to me God bless you. Praise the good Lord Jesus Christ!! May He touch your ears, eyes and heart! Amen

Yep, you've got the itis. I have no idea what else to call it.

Alright, so, these invasive thoughts are not coming from you. They're coming from the enemy, who is using them against you. I get these, too. Especially if you're struggling to pray.

Don't worry. These invasive thoughts are not you. They are the enemy using what he wants you to think to drive you to despair, or fear. Just keep loving Christ. Plough on through them.

Some behavior modifications have helped lower the number of these thoughts that I get. Spending less time on-line and more time in prayer has helped. I'm off of social media. I cut out secular music. These are just things that have helped me. I am also cutting back on sugar and snacking, and this seems to help calm my mind down.

God be with you, Sister.

Welcome! We all have intrusive thoughts, after all we are still in our flesh. The good news is we can overcome with the power of the Holy Spirit. He will guild us to all truth. Most importantly is this message:

1 John 4:18 “Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear”
God is love. Perfect love. And the closer we come to him, the less power fear has over us, because we feel God's continual presence-his strength, his comfort, and his guidance.
Blessings!

Cutting back on both might help. It's helped me, for sure.

Hello Crystal,
welcome to CF.

I hope you'll enjoy your stay here. What you are experiencing is common for someone walking with Christ for some time.

The Holy Spirit is probably drawing you to another level. God sometimes draws back to test the strength of our faith.

If you want to learn more of what God has, feel free to visit my website [listed in my profile] and get a free copy of my first published book. While there read over some of the articles. May God bless your journey.

Welcome! The closer I get to God in life with pure intentions, the better my life gets. I believe the same for others.

Welcome friend, I'm not much of a counselor so I will leave that to others. I can and will however pray for you right now.
