Praying for removing of gore images in my head

We hear your heart and we join with you in bringing this burden before the Lord Jesus, thanking Him that you have turned to Him and that He has made you a new creation. What you are experiencing with intrusive and unwanted images is very real, and we understand how distressing it can be when things you saw before coming to Christ continue to flash in your mind and stir up anger and discomfort. We praise God that you have brought this into the light and asked for His help, for He is faithful to cleanse and to heal.
The Word reminds us to guard our hearts and minds with diligence, for from the heart flows life as taught in Proverbs 4:23, and that the eye is the lamp of the body in Matthew 6:22. When we once looked upon things that were violent and defiling, those images can linger, but God calls us now to a different way. We are told in Romans 12:2 to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, and in 2 Corinthians 10:5 to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. This is not something we do in our own strength alone, but by the power of the Holy Spirit as we fill our minds with what is true and pure. Philippians 4:8 urges us to think on whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report. As we intentionally set our minds on Christ and on His Word, He washes us and renews us.
We also hear that these images make you angry, and we want to encourage you to release that anger to the Lord quickly so the enemy gains no foothold, as we are warned in Ephesians 4:26-27. God understands your frustration and He does not condemn you for these unwanted thoughts. There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus as promised in Romans 8:1, and if we confess our sins He is faithful and righteous to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness in 1 John 1:9. Your past viewing is forgiven through the blood of Jesus, and now He desires to heal your mind and give you peace. Isaiah 26:3 tells us He will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him, because they trust in Him.
We encourage you to walk in practical ways with the Lord in this season. When an image comes, do not engage it or condemn yourself, but immediately turn it over to Jesus in prayer and replace it with Scripture you have hidden in your heart. Memorize verses, speak them aloud, worship, and set your eyes on what honors God as in Psalm 101:3. Ask the Lord to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you as David prayed in Psalm 51:10. If possible, seek fellowship with a mature Christian brother or sister for accountability and prayer, and guard what you watch and listen to going forward so your mind is fed with what builds you up.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up our brother to You. We thank You for saving him and washing him by Your grace. Lord, we ask that You cleanse his mind from every defiling image that remains from the past and remove these intrusive thoughts of gore that trouble him. Renew his mind by Your Holy Spirit and by Your Word, and fill his thoughts with Your truth, Your purity, and Your peace. Help him to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and to fix his eyes on You. When anger rises, give him Your calm and teach him to cast all his cares upon You. Heal his memory, quiet his spirit, and let him dwell in the perfect peace that comes from trusting You. Let him know deeply that he is forgiven, cleansed, and loved, and that You are making him whole day by day. We rebuke the enemy's attempts to torment him with these images and we declare Your victory over his mind and heart. Fill him with joy, with holy thoughts, and with a renewed desire for what is good and pure. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in him. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ daily, to stay in the Word, to pray without ceasing, and to trust that God is faithful to bring healing and freedom as you walk with Him.

We are really glad you brought this into the light. It makes sense that those images would still intrude and leave you feeling angry and unsettled, and it does not mean you have failed with Jesus. What you took in before can linger for a while, even when your heart now wants something very different.
That flash of anger you feel makes sense too. Anger often rides on top of hurt or frustration, and in your case it sounds like a signal that you value peace and wholeness now and are grieved by what still pops up. Noticing that can take some of the shame out of it and help you respond with more gentleness toward yourself.
One thing that helps many people is to have a simple plan ready before the image comes, since it is hard to think clearly in the moment. When it appears you might quietly and honestly turn to the Lord for a moment, then gently shift your attention to something present and good, a worship song, a walk, a task with your hands, or reaching out to a trusted Christian friend. Think of it more as steady training over time than trying to force the thoughts away all at once. If the images stay frequent or very distressing, please consider talking with a pastor or Christian counselor as well, alongside prayer.
Father, we lift our brother to You. You see how unwanted these pictures are and how much he wants freedom and peace. Cover him with Your presence, calm his mind, and guide him day by day toward healing and rest. Give him wisdom for each moment and steady hope as You renew him. In Jesus' name, amen.

We thank you for bringing this burden into the light and for your honest desire to be clean in your mind before the Lord. What you describe, the lingering images from what you once looked upon and the anger that rises with them, is a grievous affliction, and it is right to bring it to Jesus for help and deliverance.
The Lord has an undivided right to us, to every motion of ours, to every faculty of our mind and every capacity of our entire nature, for it is He that made us. Your mind belongs to Him, and He is both able and willing to renew it. Scripture teaches that the mind of the flesh is enmity against God, and that apart from His grace our thoughts are easily defiled. When we have set our eyes upon things that are cruel and corrupting, they leave a stain upon the memory, and the enemy will seek to cast those images back before us to trouble and provoke us.
There is therefore an absolute necessity for renewal if we would persevere. Nothing that God has made is self existent, all created things need renewal, and how much more does the soul need it. This work of renewal is a stern work, it is called conversion in Scripture, and the same power is required in it that was put forth in raising Jesus Christ from the dead. You cannot cleanse your own thoughts by mere resolve, but Christ by His Spirit can. Take care also that your eyes and your ears are closed against that which once fascinated you and turned you aside. What you feed the soul upon, the soul will bring forth again, and what you shut out in watchfulness, the Lord will help you to overcome.
Do not suffer guilt to lie upon your conscience. When these images intrude and anger rises, go at once to the Lord and confess it before Him, asking pardon for Jesus sake, and ask Him to set the seal of deep repentance and holy faith upon your softened heart. Bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Replace what is unclean with what is pure, whatsoever things are pure and lovely and of good report, think on these things. Fill your mind daily with Scripture, with prayer, with the preaching of the resurrection and the promises of God, and cry, Show Yourself to me, that Christ Himself may be formed within.
We pray for you now. Lord Jesus, look upon this Your child who desires to be clean and at peace. Wash the mind with Your blood, renew it by Your Holy Spirit, and by that same power which raised You from the dead drive away these defiling images. Grant grace to turn from all that pollutes, to close the eye and ear against evil, and to be kept in perfect peace as the mind is stayed upon You. Take away the anger that these memories stir, and give instead a gentle and quiet spirit, a renewed covenant of love and obedience with You. Keep this soul through perseverance, and strengthen it for the bliss of Heaven even while on earth. Amen.
Continue to walk in the light, seek fellowship with faithful believers who will pray with you and watch over you, and if these thoughts long trouble you, seek the help of a wise and godly pastor. The Lord who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
