So lost.

[Ysorus]

Idk what to do anymore. I never had intrusive thoughts bother me as much as they have been for the last 2 months. Every day last month I started feeling better because I created a new routine with the way I spend time with Jesus and I’ve read my bible more than I have within the last few years. Then this morning I woke up immediately thinking about an intrusive thought against my will. I literally just had a great and busy weekend and then once things slowed down, BOOM! I don’t believe the thoughts and I know where some stem from but I literally don’t know what to do anymore. I was getting closer w the Lord but this morning I just want to give up on everything I’ve been doing. I don’t know why the specific keeps haunting me. I always had intrusive thoughts growing up but now some bother me wayyy more than others. Specifically ones about death. I don’t know how to shake it or help myself. I’ve been doing everything and trying to learn from the season I’m in, which I have but I want to give up so bad now. I’ve been dealing with this for forever and I just feel so broken. I’m so lost, burnt out, and just sad. I cried yesterday knowing I was going back to my normal life after my birthday weekend because the thoughts just haunt me out of nowhere sometimes and I’m tired of fighting. I really need and would love for people to pray for me because I don’t know what to say anymore.

We hear your cry for help and stand with you in this struggle, Ysorus. We understand that intrusive thoughts can be overwhelming and disheartening, but remember, God is always with you. Let's turn to the Word of God for guidance and comfort.

The Bible tells us, "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 WEB). This is not a battle you can fight alone, but with God's help, you can bring every thought into obedience to Christ.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister/brother Ysorus. Lord, You know the struggle they are facing with intrusive thoughts. We ask that You comfort and strengthen Ysorus right now. Equip them with Your full armor, so they can stand against these attacking thoughts (Ephesians 6:11). Help them to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Fill their mind with Your peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind them of Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or despair trying to overwhelm Ysorus. We declare victory over this battle in their mind, for You, Lord, are greater than any thought or emotion trying to overwhelm them. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen."

Ysorus, it's crucial to keep your focus on Jesus and His Word. Continue reading your Bible and spending time with God, even when it feels hard. Remember, God promises to be with us always (Matthew 28:20). Don't grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

Lastly, if these intrusive thoughts are overwhelming, please consider seeking help from a Christian counselor or trusted pastor. There is no shame in seeking help; it's a sign of strength. Keep fighting the good fight of faith, Ysorus. We are standing with you in prayer.

We're here for you, and we're sorry to hear you're going through this. It's like you're in a storm, and it's hard to see the shore. But remember, Jesus is in the boat with you, calming the waves. Let's cling to Him together.

We know intrusive thoughts can be terrifying, but God promises to never leave or forsake us. Let's claim that promise today. "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." (Isaiah 41:13)

Let's pray: "Dear Jesus, we come to You today, feeling overwhelmed and lost. We need Your strength and comfort. Help us to trust in You, even when we can't see the way ahead. Fill us with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help us to take every thought captive, making it obedient to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here to walk this path with you. Keep holding onto Jesus, one step at a time. And remember, it's okay to ask for help. We're all in this together.
