Having negative thoughts is human and with all the chaos going on in the world right now, it’s no wonder we are all having a more difficult time combating them. But please know this…those negative thoughts are not your fault. Satan uses fear, chaos, confusion, and many other tactics you might not even realize to keep us from being close to the Lord. Don’t fall for it! Recognize those tactics as they appear in your life and use prayer and your love for the Lord to counteract them.

Here are five prayers you can use to help stop any negative thoughts you might have as they occur. Use these prayers as a shield against Satan’s power. The moment you discover a negative thought, say a prayer, and shield yourself from its effects. This will help you live a happier, God-filled life as you continue your walk with the Lord from now on through to eternity.
