Question
can the devil read your thoughts, your mind. and when u pray and pray out loud can he hear u . and try to fight against what u pray for. can the devil hear your thoughts. can he read your mind?
Dear Carl,
the devil can read your mind, but he can do nothing more because Gid has created us with a free-will, and the devil cannot force us to choose evil. The devil can at most tempt us, but we are always free to reject his evil suggestions and choose to obey God.
When you pray, the Lord comes near to you and the devil goes away, because he fears the Lord.
Your brother in Christ,
Marco

Expertise
I am a catholic physicist and I am married with four children. I can give a scientific proof of the existence of the soul. I am very interested in the following issues: faith and science, rational proof of the existence of God, christianity versus other religions, the Bible, protestantism versus catholicism, miracles. Probably you will find interesting my answers to questions such as: "How can I know that God exist?", "How can I know that catholicism is the true religion?", "Why does evil exist?", "Who created evil?", "Why does Hell exist?", "Why did Jesus have to suffer on the Cross?" , "If God knows everything, why did He create those souls who go to Hell?"
