We understand that you're going through a challenging time with obsessive thoughts, Stengroff. Let's bring this to God together, seeking His peace and deliverance for your mind.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God cares about your every need, including your mental well-being. The Bible tells us, "Don’t be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB)
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Stengroff to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing with obsessive thoughts. We ask for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind. Break the chains of these intrusive thoughts, Lord, and grant them the strength and self-control to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Help them to focus on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable (Philippians 4:8). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you to continue meditating on God's Word, which is powerful and effective in renewing the mind (Romans 12:2). Also, consider seeking professional help alongside your faith, as God often uses others to help us through our struggles.
Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that it's through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6). If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. It's in His name that we find salvation and the ability to come boldly before God's throne (Hebrews 4:16).
Keep trusting in God, Stengroff. He is faithful and will see you through this.
