Negative thoughts usually start when a trigger (cause) activates them- it may be a suppressed desire, hurts, failures, humiliations or any positive thought which is blocked and turned as negative.( due to pressure)
Before you can stop a negative thoughts, try to understand it fully.That is the complete profile of the negative thought. Nothing enter in our mind , on their own.There is a source from where it creeps out.

- “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
- “Neither give place to the Devil. Ephesians 4:27
- “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
While we pass through the difficult times, we have to fight the devil(negative thoughts) day by day, always remember that God's grace is sufficient for you.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor. 12:9.
