Quand on a une mauvaise pensée, we must seek God's help, because, as St. Isaac the Syrian says, we do not always have in ourselves the strength to oppose evil thoughts, and there is no help in this case except that of God.
Therefore, guided by the instructions of [St.] Nile Sinai, we must pray and tirelessly, with sighs and tears, Lord Jesus Christ: "Have mercy on me, Lord, and do not allow myself to die. Mets routed, O Lord, the demon who attacks me. Oh, my sure hope, mark your sign above my head the day of my fight with the Devil! Defeat the enemy who fights with me. O Lord, O Word of God, with your peace and quiet thoughts that assail me tame! "
Or, as instructed by the Blessed Theodore Studite on having impure thoughts, pray using the words of the prophet David," Judge them, O Lord, which are unfair to me and fighting those who fight me. "and then recite Psalm 34 in the world, and as the hymnographer wrote," Gather and collect my scattered mind, O Lord, cleanse my wild heart. Like You have said to Peter, give me repentance, sighing as the publican, as the depraved woman, tears, so I can cry to Thee! Help me and rid me of bad thoughts. For as the waves of the ocean, my transgressions are against me, and like a ship in the deep ocean, I am overloaded with my thoughts and my intentions, but lead me in a quiet port and sure.
O Lord, save me also by my repentance, that I weep abundantly on the weakness of my mind because this is not my own will I undergo these changes Involuntary - hesitations, attacks, defeats ... That's why I cry to Thee: O Holy Trinity, without beginning, help me, and confirms to remain firm in the thoughts and intentions, meanings and feelings of well!
