    I need your prayers

    It seems that if I'm not physically doing something but just trying to relax, I am being attacked by crappy thoughts wandering all over the place! It's getting harder to take my noon nap or even rest a bit without being aggravated by disturbing thoughts! So I come to you all for prayer.

    Be in the company of someone you love and be open and honest with them about your feelings. Talk it out, pray it out together. Do not take it on all by yourself. Satan picks off the loners one by one. Prayers are sent.

    Augercreek, prayers in the name of Christ Jesus for tranquility and peace of mind, amen!

    If you keep loosing sleep over a long period of time, and the troubling thoughts continue, please see your doctor. You could be experiencing a chemical imbalance in your body that leads to depression. Nothing to be ashamed off, but you need to get help to get your system back on track.

    I went through a severe bout of depression about 20 years ago. I tragically lost my 35 year old son to this 7 years ago. I miss him and think of him every day.

    God renders help in many different ways,... by caring advice, by friends and loved ones and by medical doctors!

    I have 2 recomendations, both of which I have implemented in the last year.

    First, a face mask for sleeping, mine is silk, black on both sides, has an elastic band that holds it in place. Inside of a week it was like my body got the memo.
    Lights go out, time for quiet thoughts and sleep.

    Second is a small white noise generator. Personally I like the sound of a small brook or stream. Also sounds a lot like the water flowing under a small sailboat.
    Helps keep me from hearing small noises that distract and take you down wrong paths.

    Should be less than 50$ for both.
    Mask is currently 9$ on amazon.

    18$ for the white noise.

    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    Satan attacks when we are most vulnerable, read Psalm 23 and pray about your thoughts. I am holding you up in prayer.

    Prayers for peace on the way. "taking every thought into captivity" means an active process of evaluating every thought and rejecting those unworthy. One cannot stop a thought or image. It is impossible. One can replace one thought with another, but it takes some concentration and persistence. The unworthy thoughts keep slipping back and need to be consciously replaced. Philippians 4:8-9 gives a good way to evaluate such thoughts.

    The other way to deal with this is likewise - have a good, safe and relaxing imaginary place you can send your mind when bothered by such thoughts. Mine is a particular glade behind Old Rag Mountain in Virginia. Been there multiple times alone and it is peaceful. For some it is the beach, not for me. You need to find yours.

    Also consider today's Meditation.

    Father, I come to You to pray for augercreek. Please give him comfort and healing from the aggravating and disturbing thoughts. Please send his mind down the path to well being and the comfort that the Bible brings to the believers. AMEN

    So sorry that you are dealing with this. I am familiar. I often lament that the things we would like to remember fall out of our thoughts and memories while the others cling like nettles.

    Prayers for you in this regard.

    I often have the same issues, although not disturbing ones, just my mind racing 90 miles an hour. Like yours, it is hard to turn off. Meditation may help as well as the good book. If not, I suggest professional help, someone independent of what ails you. Good luck, and if you need to talk to someone, don't hesitate to ask. We are family here.
