Sometimes we are greatly troubled in our minds and this paves the way for negative thoughts to creep in quickly. The feeling of misery becomes very overwhelming and we are blinded from seeing any positive outcome.
We tend to lose interest in a lot of things because we don’t see any good in them. This can also lead us to commit sins against God. Bad thoughts are detrimental to our well-being and the Bible explains in the book of Proverbs 23:7 that what a man constantly thinks is what he attracts. Therefore when we constantly have bad thoughts, they manifest evil and negativity in our lives.
Many people detest negative individuals because negative forces can be very strong and cause bad luck and evil to not only the person with the negative mindset but to others around them. However, as believers, we must know that this is not the will of God for us and he is always ready to help us fight away every evil thought that is always tormenting us. Let us proceed to apply the scriptures and pray against every bad thought in our minds and for the grace of God to keep them away from reoccurring.
Prayers Against Negative Thoughts
Destroying Evil Thoughts:
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Dear God,
I thank your holy name for you are the God that answers prayers. I am glad that I can run to you for safety and succor during trying times. I have come to your throne of mercy right now and I pray that you grant me the grace to fight every evil thought in the mighty name of Jesus. I come against every evil power of the devil in manipulating my mind and sanity in the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray that you capture every evil thought and bind them by fire. Help me to have a sound mind that is pure and only glorifies positive thoughts in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Abiding By God’s Anointing:
“But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.” (1 John 2:27).
Dear Lord,
I am grateful for the gift of life and the salvation of my soul. I am glad that I can find peace in my troubled heart through your comforting and divine words. Today, I declare that I do away with every evil thought attracting negativity into my life. I receive your anointing and declare that it runs from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I abide in your presence and humbly seek that you shut the door through which I occasionally allow evil thought to creep in the mighty name of Jesus. From now on I sanctify my mind and spirit with the blood of Jesus. Amen.
Put Away All Earthly Desires:
“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” (Colossians 3:5).
Heavenly God,
I have heard your words and they will make me whole again. Therefore, I come before you today and put away all the earthly desires that make me commit sins against you and do against your will. I confess all my evil thoughts and pray that you grant me mercy to clear them away in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I pray against every impure thought of doubting you and not having hope in your divine power. I declare that I begin to think positive thoughts and instead of always seeing negativity I begin to see the good in situations in the name of Jesus. Amen.
The Spring Of Life:
“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23).
Dear Lord,
I appreciate your gracious name for you have never failed. I am glad that from age to age you remain the same in never giving up on me. I bless your name because you are forever perfect even in my imperfections. I acknowledge your word today that my heart determines the direction of my life. Therefore I pray that my heart shall conceive only positive thoughts in the name of Jesus. I rebuke all forms of negativity in my life from now on. I proclaim that my heart becomes a vessel of positivity unto your grace in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, be merciful unto me and give me the self-control to channel my thoughts in the right way in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Call Unto Authority:
“And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.” (Matthew 10:1).
Dear God,
I give glory to your divine name for you are a faithful God. I thank you because you have cleared away my sins and forgiven my iniquities. I receive your authority and cast out every evil thought in Jesus’ mighty name. Lord, I put my faith in you and clear every unwanted thought in Jesus’ name. Deliver me from unholy circles that bring troubles into my life and influence me into thinking negatively. I pray that you grant me victory in my battle against the realm of a negative mindset in Jesus’ name. Touch me Lord and grant me the grace to never give up on you from now on. I bless your name because you have heard my prayers. Amen.
