Pastor Chris,
I am sending you this email because I am in trouble. There’s a huge battle happening in my mind. There are terrible thoughts which I can’t control . I have been unemployed for the past 8 years because of these terrible thoughts coming into my mind . If I can learn to control my mind I will be able to receive all the blessings the Lord has reserved for me . So PLEASE my Father, help me, PLEASE . Otherwise, I will miss going to heaven if I may die with this mind problem .

Mathias,
I would like to give you some verses from the Bible. These verses have helped me many times.
The secret to curing a troubled mind is to focus on Jesus Christ. Ask Him to help you. He will.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do everything through Him (Jesus Christ) who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:19 “And my God shall meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”
