Please pray for me brothers,

I'm about to embark on a month-long trip alone. I do muay thai and I'm heading to Thailand to train for the month. I've done this before and it is a great opportunity for me to meditate on God's word since I will spend a lot of time in relative isolation and won't interact with others a great deal outside of my daily training. There are a few things specifically that I'd like to ask you to pray for on my behalf:

Please pray for my safety while I'm away that I might not be injured or endangered while training or otherwise. Please also pray that it would be fruitful spiritually and that I make good use of my time to study scripture and pray, and that I wouldn't fall into temptation to sin or neglect my relationship with God, and that loneliness and solitude doesn't become a burden.

Please also pray for the wellbeing of my loved ones while I'm absent, particularly my mother. And finally pray for the development of my relationships at home when I return. I've just started attending a local church and have been warmly received there, so I hope I can continue with that and learn and grow spiritually, and become of some use to that church. Also there's a very sweet and wise girl I want to pursue and she has indicated that she wants to see me but now is not an appropriate time.

Thank you all.

You haven't blasphemed the Holy Spirit, you're just having intrusive thoughts. Everybody gets them, don't worry about it. It will go away eventually. Acknowledge before God that you're having foolish thoughts, ask for forgiveness (ask once, you don't need to ask forgiveness for every individual thought as this will just cause you to dwell on it even more) and pray to be delivered from them. Of course I'll pray for you as well.

You don't need to panic. Relax and understand that the thoughts will stop soon, just get on with your day and occupy your mind with other things. When blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is mentioned in the Bible it was when the pharisees witnessed the miracles performed by Jesus and accused him of working by the power of Satan instead of that of God - they knew he was from God and yet they accused him of evil because they truly hated him and didn't want people to follow him. It was a real hatred and wilful rejection of God and they didn't want to be forgiven. That is not what you've done, if it was then you wouldn't be worried about it because you wouldn't be seeking forgiveness.
