yep, it's the stuff we put into our minds, to begin with, that bring bad fruit. I love this show called ARCHER but what a bunch of sinful God-hating crud this is. But I can expect that if I put lovely things in my mind I will get lovely things back out.

Spend time thanking and praising God for the difficult thoughts. They have a purpose in your spiritual growth. All things work together for good Rm 8:28. If you know praise songs sing some of them. It is a good means of spiritual warfare.
