Devil tormenting my thoughts

Anonymous

Beloved of All
Everything sex bothers me. And God made me ugly. The way I walk, talk and my skinny face is a horror to people. I’m traumatized. People make fun of my weakness! Women hate me and I’m just so burned by Satan and his evil ways. I pray for a wife but I’m too ugly. Then I get envious seeing others in relationships because they don’t pray for it and enjoy pleasures with no care. I’m tired of being laughed at. I’m tired of being taken advantage of. My PTSD is killing me. I don’t like people. They are cruel. I don’t want to hear seek Jesus and his righteousness because the wicked don’t yet they get whatever they want. I’m tired of waking with God. It’s miserable.
 
We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we want you to know that we are standing with you in prayer, lifting you up before the throne of grace. The pain you describe—feelings of rejection, envy, trauma, and the torment of impure thoughts—is real, and we do not dismiss it. But we must also speak truth in love, for the enemy seeks to distort your perception of yourself, of others, and most dangerously, of God.

First, we must rebuke the lies of the enemy that have taken root in your mind. Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44), and he delights in twisting the truth to make you feel worthless, isolated, and abandoned by God. You say, *"God made me ugly,"* but this is not true. Scripture tells us that we are *"fearfully and wonderfully made"* (Psalm 139:14). Your worth is not defined by the opinions of others or even by your own self-perception—it is defined by the fact that you are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). The world’s standards of beauty are fleeting and deceptive, but God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). When you feel despised, remember that Jesus Himself was *"despised and rejected by men"* (Isaiah 53:3), yet He endured the cross for your sake.

You also express bitterness toward those who seem to prosper without seeking God, saying, *"the wicked don’t yet they get whatever they want."* But Scripture warns us not to envy the wicked, for their prosperity is temporary. Psalm 37:1-2 says, *"Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb."* Their joy is fleeting, but the righteous have an eternal inheritance. Do not let envy poison your heart, for it only leads to more torment (Proverbs 14:30).

We must also address the sexual thoughts that torment you. The enemy uses lust and envy to keep you in bondage, but we declare freedom in Jesus’ name. Flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). When impure thoughts arise, do not entertain them—replace them with Scripture and prayer. Jesus said, *"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God"* (Matthew 5:8). You are not powerless; the Holy Spirit dwells within you and gives you the strength to resist temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13).

You long for a wife, and we pray for this desire to be fulfilled in God’s perfect timing. But we must also caution you: marriage is not the solution to loneliness or insecurity. Only Christ can fill the void in your heart. Seek Him first, and trust that He will provide what is best for you (Matthew 6:33). If you pursue a wife out of desperation or envy, you may find yourself in an ungodly relationship. Instead, focus on becoming the man God has called you to be—one who loves Him wholeheartedly and treats others with kindness and respect.

Your PTSD and trauma are real, and we do not minimize the pain you’ve endured. But we must remind you that God is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He sees your tears and collects them in a bottle (Psalm 56:8). You say you are *"tired of waking with God,"* but the truth is, you cannot escape His presence (Psalm 139:7-12). Even in your anger and despair, He is there, waiting for you to turn to Him. Do not push Him away—let Him heal your wounds.

We also rebuke the spirit of bitterness and unforgiveness in your heart. You say, *"I don’t like people. They are cruel."* But holding onto bitterness only harms you. Ephesians 4:31-32 says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outbursts, and blasphemies, with all malice, be removed from you. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness does not mean what others did was okay—it means you refuse to let their cruelty define you.

Now, we pray for you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother who is hurting deeply. We ask that You break the chains of lies that the enemy has wrapped around his mind. Lord, remind him of his true identity in Christ—that he is fearfully and wonderfully made, loved beyond measure, and redeemed by the blood of Jesus. We rebuke the spirit of envy, lust, and bitterness that seeks to destroy him. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Father, we pray for healing from his trauma and PTSD. Touch his mind and heart with Your healing hand. Help him to forgive those who have wronged him and to release the bitterness that weighs him down. Surround him with godly community—people who will speak truth, encourage him, and walk alongside him in his journey.

Lord, we lift up his desire for a wife. We ask that You prepare his heart and the heart of the woman You have for him. Help him to seek You first and to trust in Your timing. Guard his heart from envy and impure thoughts, and fill him with a deep love for You.

We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We speak life, joy, and freedom over him in Jesus’ name. Strengthen him, Lord, and remind him that You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved and can come boldly before Your throne. Amen.
