Question: brother, after going to confession i'm often troubled by unwanted thoughts that i try to run away from. these thoughts come especially at night and when i am at prayer. i remember one night that thoughts of suicide come to my mind but i'm not suicidal in real life and know that suicide is wrong? however i don't know if i was the one who started this thought, i'm really troubled... what do you think? are they just because of my fears or are the demons tormenting me?

Dear Joseph:

Well, it is certainlyh possible that the Enemy is trying rattle you by inspiring these unwanted thoughts.

I would recommend the following prayers:

Prayer To Control Thoughts
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints and Angels of Heaven, and powerful in the holy authority of His Name, I reject this thought and feeling of [list for describe thought/feeling] which is contrary to God’s will.

Bedtime Protection Prayer
