Prayer For Intrusive Thoughts/Hearing Voices/Rumination

[AnglicanPeace]

This was very helpful to me. So far it's working as "thought replacement," not to cheapen it. It also increases my faith. Like St. Paul said, we are to pray constantly. You could try mindful Christianity (another YouTube) but I found that quite hard and am not sure if it's Biblical. Hope this helps brothers and sisters.

I try to pray about whatever I'm experiencing in a given moment. "Lord, I'm feeling tired while doing this job, please give me strength."
"Father, help me to say the right things and bring You honor during this conversation."
"Father, thank you, for helping me with this task."
"Father, forgive me for being overly disappointed."
"Lord, help me to cheerfully submit to your providence during this difficulty."
I don't close my eyes or stop what I'm doing. I just direct my thoughts to God while in the middle of whatever I'm doing.
This isn't instead of times of concentrated prayer, this is in addition to.

Very interesting. I think we oft think we pray like it is a phone call. Once done the connection is off. Instead we should see prayer as constant communication with God. Aka put the phone on speaker and keep that line of communication open constantly.

Speaking scripture over yourself helps as well. Now that I'm starting to deepen my faith and take it more seriously...I realize we're in a spiritual battle from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep.

A few ways to fight spiritually against thoughts like that is ;

* Speaking scripture over yourself... whatever youre fearing get scripture to combat that fear

* Worship. worship is so powerful... sing to God and yokes will break

* Pray ...pray to God ask him to help relieve you and comfort you.

I myself have some bouts of anxiety.
one main scripture I like to say is this one..

2 Timothy 1:7, " For God has not given me a spirit of fear but love ,power and a sound mind."

and I feel choosing worship songs that either magnify God or speak to your situation.

Like I love this song here, its so good for anxiety and just fear in general.
When I get anxious I put this song on and remind myself I have zero reason to fear. Zero

If you fear dying, debt, going crazy, being alone, disease... this song is for you
