I feel lost at the moment and confused. I ask for prayers because I have been getting so many blasphemous intrusive thoughts lately that I almost drown in them. I just want to be put back on the right path towards Christ again without doubts and intrusive thoughts. Sorry if it doesn’t make complete sense.
Thanks, scimitar60
 
I’m praying for you. I’ve been there (and probably will again). When a friend talked to me about her belief in buddhism (and she really knew her stuff, not just a popular buddhist) I couldn’t stop the doubts and the questions flooding in - the only advice I can give is to pray to God and tell Him how you’re feeling. Be very honest and ask for mercy and the grace to overcome these thoughts (and if its doubts you have, to see where the truth is). It can feel pointless a little bit (especially if you’re doubting) but just keep reaffirming your faith in God through prayer and He will give you the grace you need to endure.

Are these the kind of blasphemous thoughts you’ve been having or are they something else?
 
Scripture says we are to gird ourselves with the “whole armor of God.” Note, it doesn’t say to gird ourselves with 50% of the armor of God, or “some” of the armor of God, but the “whole” armor of God. Righteousness is where we begin.

If you haven’t been to Confession lately, go. Do a good examination of conscience (Here’s a good one: thereasonforourhope.org/pdfs/14.pdf

Next, say the Rosary. If you don’t know how, you can download the audio’s of the Rosary here: alabamacatholicresources.com/the_rosary.html

The Rosary is the prayer of the Gospel. It’s one of the most powerful prayers against the powers of darkness we have. It is the “scourge of the devil.” St. Padre Pio called it his “weapon.” It has two parts, like we do: A soul (the mysteries) and a body (the prayers).

Third, find time to attend daily Mass, if you can. If not, find time to spend an hour before the Blessed Sacrament.

Remember this: In the end, when all our earthly lives fade into eternity, you and I, forever, will be in heaven or hell. Period.

Life is all about choices and consequences. Good choices lead to good consequences. Bad choices lead to bad consequences.
