I have a few competitors in my class. In my mind one say don’t worry I can beat them because the knowledge that I have in IT area is far better than theirs. Competitors say things to offend me in the class. I ignore them but those things come to my head when I’m vulnerable and weak in faith. At those vulnerable times the only defense mechanism that I have against those comments made by my competitors is to think that “I’m better than them”. “I’m better than them” thought comes to my head automatically when those abuses come to my head.

When I say “I’m better than them”, the next voice say “you have pride therefore you must confess it to GOD and repent and if you don’t, rest of your day will be miserable”. So as soon as possible I start to confess to GOD that I said “I’m better than them”. But those voices in my head don’t let me confess properly. They interfere. So I start to think, did Satan put the statement “I’m better than them” in my head and made me say it and then he put the fault on me and he doesn’t let me rescue my self from it. So I’m really angry. Even if I confess the statement of pride ““I’m better than them””, it comes to my head on regular basis like a cycle. So it’s annoying.

Q: Do I have to confess this statement of pride “I’m better than them!” to GOD every time my head forces me to say it?

The Second thing, Some times I’m tempted to do stupid things even when I know they are stupid things to do. The reason to commit stupid things would be to get out of frustration, stress, worry. Example, I know I should save money. But When I feel frustrated or depressed I go shopping and spend money so I feel good. Spending money is a stupid thing to do, and I know it’s a stupid thing to do. But it forces me to do it.

Another, I have a limited time to prepare for my exam. But those thoughts in my head make me quit studying. So suddenly I get up from my chair and go to bed to have a sleep. I know I should be studying. But sleeping instead of studying is a stupid thing to do and I know it’s a stupid thing to do. But it forces me to do it.


DO I have to confess the stupid things that I have done and said, to GOD?

Do I have to ask for forgiveness for the stupid things that I have done and said, specially when I know that they are stupid things to do before I commit those stupid things?

Basically those evil thoughts and confessions eating my valuable time.

Mark_18

He knows anyways, just admit to yourself what you're doing wrong and try to improve. God will see that you're doing so.

I believe that you are a very sincere, genuine young man who as a real desire to please God.
That is wonderful.
But I have also noticed from your many questions on the forum that you are in real need of some solid biblical teaching.
You have so many questions. That is a good thing but you need teaching so that you can grow in your faith and understanding.
I honestly believe that you need to find and get involved in a local bible believing church.
This is necessary if you are to go further in your walk with God.
Please do not just brush this aside. Make finding a good church the priority in your life for the next few weeks.
I want to see you grow as a believer. God has plans for your future.But you need a solid foundation of teaching.
(I am going to post this message in all your recent threads because I feel so strongly about it.)
