I suffer from a lot of unwanted and intrusive thoughts, and I find a good way to combat them is to say quick little prayers to redirecting my line of thought. These are called ejaculatory prayers.

Some examples being “Come Holy Spirit”, or “Jesus I trust in you” or “ Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner”.

Does any one have any more of these kinds of prayers that they say? I love saying these prayers throughout the day because they are literally only a sentence long and are super quick to say. I’d love to add some more prayers to my day. Anyone else have any quick one to two sentence prayers they say?
 
“Jesus, Mary, Joseph, I love you, save souls” is always a good one.
 
O God come to my aid; O Lord make haste to help me.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Jesus I trust in you!
 
I usually lean toward “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief” and just plain “Help me!”
 
The simplest one, and my personal favourite: St. Mary pray for us.
When I’m dealing with lustful or intrusive thoughts, I say, “Holy Spirit protect me from Satan,” or “Holy Spirit, shield me from the Evil One.”
