to the thread "ugly thoughts" or something close to that.....I have the exact same problem with my thoughts.....envy, lack of compassion, judgmental, just mean spirited! I ask for grace to overcome it and also ask the Holy Spirit to do what I cannot do. But I think maybe I am where I am meant to be....my progress is slow for a reason.
I do say and over and over when my mind is just stuck on ugly thoughts...."Create in me a new heart...revive the right spirit within me" and it does seem to clear them out for awhile. Hope this helps!
On the 21st, I think, you posted a question about questioning the basis for our relationships with God...as someone with some awakening about the reasons for my unhealthy emotional state, I can relate to what you ask...am I, do I, try to get closer to God because of some need related to my condition? I think the answer can be 'yes', but for me, that may not be a bad thing. God reaches all of us differently, & based on where we are, what we have gone thru. Write back if you want to continue a discussion on this. God Bless you in your struggles...
