Getting angry thoughts about God

On days where I'm nerved and on the edge I often get angry thoughts about God. They are really malicious and taunting and I don't know if these are my thoughts or not.In the past I always used to think these are my thoughts and I became despaired thinking how I can even think something like this but I'm not sure anymore if these are my thoughts.
But if these are not my thoughts then how is the enemy supposed to know when I'm nerved? And sometimes these thoughts are like a direct reply to what I think! This would mean that the enemy can read my thoughts otherwise he could not reply to my own thoughts!
However maybe these thoughts are my thoughts.

I know when I'm agitated and on edge, I am vulnerable. Now whether it's vulnerable to attack or just plain vulnerable, I know I am in a weakened state. I am easily distracted then and this is precisely the time when my faith was kicked out from under me. Now I really work at praying when I feel like that. I usually say a simple prayer,"Dear God, please take thise ____(feeling) from my heart, mind and mouth. Please deliver me to a place where I can better serve You. Thank You. Amen."
I feel it is important to ask the feeling be removed from my heart, my mind and my mouth so it has nowhere to take root and grow into something ugly.

This is a stupid situation.
In such a situation you have to fight against these thoughts and you must not accept them as your own. I always used to think they are mine and then everything became worse, it's like a downward helix and your thoughts become even worse and even more hostile.
It's like these thoughts encourage you to become angry.

Dear Frederik,
Could it be that this is the 'bring every thought into captivity' thing?
Maybe this is the exercise to make your mental muscles strong by controlling your thoughts.
You are in charge of your thoughts. Change the channel.
Maybe?
Just wondering...
