I push them aside.
Do you really really think that Jews deal with wicked thoughts in a less satisfactory way than Christians?
What do you do when they won't go away?

They do go away. Generally speaking, I don't have problems with obsessions. Apparently you do. So what do YOU do when your wicked thoughts won't go away?What do you do when they won't go away?

Does that work for you?I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Whatever is good or honorable and of good report, I focus on those things... If those two don't work, I ask YHWH to take those thoughts and smash them in the face of any evil spirit planting them in my mind and kick him out of my presence... These work quickly and efficiently...

Why don't you just go to YHWH since the first option isn't 100%?
Then your two options previously that you gave didn't help. I don't know why you asked then how Jews deal with wicked thoughts, making it sound like we're doomed, when you're struggling yourself.I still sin... That is why I am in need of a Savior.
And this is where we part. I don't put stock on blaming any "forces". We're our own Satan, which just means adversary. The buck stops with individuals.From the Christian POV, there are two challenges to living a righteous life. The first is the fleshly challenges. The second are attacks from the spiritual relm.
We have a responsibility in the sanctification process. Like Paul, there are times we have to beat down our fleshly desires or responses. Our battles are not always against flesh and blood, but spiritual principalities who oppose YHWH... This is where we lean upon YHWH...

You want to change? Develop good habits and patterns and the old self will change. It's a life long process. That's called walking, not standing still, with God.
No, rely on God, not a man.None of us is perfect in that. Our goal is to become more like Christ each day... The two options do work... It is a matter of using them and relying on Christ...
We agree here.Yes, the buck stops with individuals...
Yep. False prophets teach lots of things, ie, man-god, false hope, abrogation, etc.So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’
Obedience.Sanctification...
