How do i stop these? i already confess this & are “Racing thoughts” thoughts 1 after another ? i believe i’m in mortal sin again because of my racing thoughts of lust & others but, how do i thiink as a pure mind? i got on my knees on the concrete praying to the virgin mary because she was pure … i remember more sins from my past, im 15, Boy dont want these impure thoughts my mind thinks thought after thought … the only person i trust is a priest he gave me advice on lust he said switch your thought like a channel on TV, how do i do that? & this is weird when i was on my knees praying to the virgin mary i was looking at the moon when i looked away clouds got in the way but, when i looked the clouds were moving the moon was very bright even though huge clouds were covering & i saw a cardinal or brown bird fly by me AT Night. i prayed till my knees started hurting, took a few minutes rest outside, got back on my knees till they started hurting
then i went inside & prayed some more, but im actually glad
 
i didn’t have a lustful dream but, i really dont want these thoughts i wanna look at girls like the way god did really i dont wanna see them as objects because they’re human & they need compassion & love too sometimes i wanna bash my head through a window so the throughts will go away, i’ll see if i can confess weekly
 
oh help me please im tired of these i just wanna be a hermit sometimes sometimes i wish i was asexual because i dont wanna look at females this way, ima try to love people as much myself even if they hate me, i’d jump for joy if i had a peaceful mind i just wish i could imagine prayer & think prayer everyday seriously, i’d love that so much i just can’t get my mind to calm down these i have blasphemous thoughts a lot i didnt tell the priest what kind i just said blasphemous thoughts against god, was this ok? i really dont wanna say really what kind of thoughts maybe because i think i have scrouples idk i try to be as sinless as i can but i feel like satan is tempting me GOSH GO AWAY !!!
 
I know what you’re going through. Sometimes I try to say the Rosary, but the thought of my own sinful condition fills me with disgust, and I feel unable to be close to Our Lord or pray for others.
Remember that the Enemy is always trying to pull us away. It’s right to remember that we don’t deserve God’s grace, but the mercy and love of Christ is free to all.
Don’t feel discouraged that your thoughts are getting in the way. When we pray, God wants us to call him for help, not just think good, ‘pure’ thoughts about him. Continue to invoke Our Lady: Christians have received her powerful aid against temptation for centuries.

God bless you brother

Brethren, be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist, steadfast in the faith. (1 St. Peter 5.8,9)

Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof, but speak the word only and my soul shall be healed. St. Luke 7.7.
 
When tempted by the devil, Father Corapi recommendeds say one prayer over and over -
“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus”.

If you really want help and mean the prayer, you will be helped.

Go to confession weekly, and Communion every Sunday.
If you are truly sorry for your sins, in God’s Mercy, He forgives us all.
 
Regarding thoughts

while Jesus makes it clear that one can sin in ones thoughts…just cause some lustful thought happens does not mean that one sinned…

(and one can have a sufficiently good reason to think about sexual matters…for instance studying moral theology…but care must be taken to avoid things that would be a problem…but that is another question)

What should we do with* unwanted* sexual thoughts? Those pesky temptations that can come …even though we are not seeking them etc…

(there are of course some things we should avoid that cause them…and there can be sin if it is something one should reasonably avoid…but often they come uninvited)

First…Relax. Do not worry.

Now are they mortal sins?

For a mortal sin one needs a grave matter …full knowledge AND deliberate consent!!!

A. If you do not want the thought…it the thought displeases you: it can be a sign actually that you did not give consent or do not give full consent…

B. Even if you felt a temptation for the thought – and were drawn to it —but rejected it and maybe even turned to God : again a sign not full consent.

C. But what if one has a tempting thought --say of a sexual nature and even hesitated for a moment…but then rejected it for one did not want to sin? : it can be partial consent perhaps (and thus a venial sin)-- or it may be no sin at all but rather a strong temptation that drew you but then you saw what was happening and turned away.

D. A temptation can even be very strong or the thoughts very often – but this does NOT mean one has consented! so worry not…even it they go on for a long time…

remember --for it to be mortal there must be that deliberate consent!

What to do? on the spiritual side–relax first of all and remember the above.

Next – know that the more one fears the thoughts the more likely they are to come… or said another way --the more a person seeks to avoid the thoughts the more likely he will have a problem with them.

for example: for the next 10 seconds try NOT to think of an apple.

tick tock …

tick tock…

Ok what did you think of? Most likely an apple.

So it is best to ignore them and just not consent and then turn your attention to some other good thing…for instance whatever you are doing. Simply do not consent and move on. and do not worry

another point – thoughts can just happen --they are the stuff with which we think…it is up to us to consent and take them further or not. and just because they are REAL VIVID and almost “think themselves” does not mean per se that one has given ANY consent.

they can be annoying…but need cause no actual harm …

(Also one with racing thoughts etc may need to see someone …for it *may *be a sign of ocd…)
 
Also it is important not to confuse temptation with consent…

and also not to confuse simply finding a girl attractive…and lust …though we need of course care here…but do not stress too much about the fact that you find a girl attractive…of course do not consent to any sexual thought that may occur nor fret about such too much…use reasonable custody of the eyes (for example if she is very immodest etc)…but again do not stress overly about this…relax…do not get anxious over this…try to find the right way in the middle…where you say ‘she is beautiful’…but do not fret …and do not consent to any bad thoughts that may come…nor fear them overmuch either…knowing that concupscience will always be there (taking the reasonable care due to this)…one needs to make “the person” of the girl stand out…

and yes you need to find a good confessor to help you with this…and as you mentioned scruples --with any scruples…

Keep following Christ…with joy…cast your cares on him…and do not fear 🙂
 
of course I am not recommending…staring or too much looking etc…or looking at every girl one can 🙂

(but I imagine you are rather too afraid…due to your problems with thoughts etc…which can make things very much a suffering…so talk with your confessor)

Reason, prudence, temperance, modesty, chastity etc…
 
I would suggest saying the Jesus Prayer repeatedly, to seek intimate communion with Our Lord. This is an ancient devotion in the Eastern and Western Church:

‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

‘Domine Jesu Christe Fili Dei: miserere mei peccatoris.’
