I am 34 years old. Decided to serve the Lord for good. Just found a possible ideal love in an old friend, who is a Christian. Banning all sex before marriage and all sexual innuendos from our daily interaction. Praying to God to change me. Asking God to grant me the miracle/blessing of marriage.
He already granted me this much. He can grant me much more. Find someone who truly believes. Be friends with people who are committed to waiting. I pray to God to guide me in growing my love with my friend in a way that does not include any sexual innuendos.
We have already established we want to wait until we are married. I have also vowed to fill up my mind, my heart and my soul with all that is intelligent, noble and progressive so that I may develop a deeper love. Praying to God to guide me, guide my heart so things go His way!
Don't stop believing!! Believe! Believe! Believe!

HELP ME by: Anonymous
I am currently in the situation with almost all of you, only that I am in campus, got into a relationship that lasted for eight months. Before it all began, I feared and respected God and would not do anything against His will, I was however blinded by my love for this guy, and we ended up doing nasty things.
Every time I did it though, so much guilt pinched me from inside, I recently called it quits, but the fact is that I still love him and always pray to God to save him so that we can end up together.
We are currently disguising ourselves as BFF's best friends forever, but am not sure it's right. Someone help please!

The right thing to do by: Anonymous
I am a Christian woman, divorced 3 years ago. Last year I met a man and we started dating. He is a church goer but not a born again Christian. The pressure and the temptation to have sex was too much I eventually gave in.
After 6 months I could not bear the guilt anymore and I called it quits and repented of my sin. We are still friends and he hopes I will one day change my mind, but it is not a good place to be, and I believe I did the right thing.

Living as a Christian, God's way by: Anonymous
Hi, Appreciate the courage shared. I too had to make a decision 5 years ago. I was living with my fiancee and I was reading the Bible a lot. I realized that we were living in sin and that we needed to get married or split up. He chose to split up. I was devasted, considering he had asked me to marry him before. We kept in touch, but he would go back and forth on a committment. A year later he was with someone else and lying to me, that was it, haven't seen him since. I know it was God's will that I find out, but to be honest it has been hard. I became a bit isolated and when ever I thought someone was interested in me, I ran away. I just met someone that I don't want to run from. I'm nervous for many reasons, but the big reason is the temptation. He knows where I stand and says he agrees. I guess we'll see, I'm already praying for strength and guidance.I'm very glad for this site for encouragement. Thanks.

It's not as easy as it sounds by: Anonymous
After reading what people do after accepting Christ and deciding to stop living with their girl/boyfriend, it sounds easy but not for everyone.
My situation: I been a good Christian since I was young. I love God and follow Him. Now I am 25. I broke up with 2 men for the same reason; "sex if you love me".
My dream was to date one man as the 1st and the one to marry, but it doesn't work that way. It gets to the point now that with the guy I am dating I was the one to initiate sex, since I don't want to loose him for the same reason.
It looks like you can never find a man who believes in sex after marriage. As a Christian, my heart judges me and I don't know what to do, because I love my boyfriend. The only thing, and worst part, he doesn't believe in God. What can I do? Break up?
The problem is that I think even in all the Christian people I know, no one is nice and loving like him.

Same Situation by: Jeff
I am in the same situation only it's 7 years of dating and 3 years of living together. She is the love of my life, no kids together but she has 5 children, 4 at home still.
I am a God fearing man but had strayed away from church or anything religious most of my adult life. I was very cool with the situation we had together. My Girlfriend confronted me one day and told me she was being eaten up inside because the way she had been living her life and this had been eating at her for years.
Two bad marriages previous and 5 kids total. She is the sweetest woman I have known, hard working, great mother, and Best Friend. I have recently given myself to the Lord. Praying several times a day, reading the Bible, attending church and Bible study regularly.
After all of this and the way it makes me feel I feel so foolish and ashamed I ever strayed from the Lord to begin with.
We have started fresh from day one now it's weird but worth it. I have a whole new outlook on life. I'm a calmer, less quick tempered man now and rarely curse, but more patient. It's amazing! I LOVE YOU LORD FOR FOR TAKING OVER MY LIFE OF SIN.

Courage by: Anonymous
Nicole you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. Take a risk and you will get a reward, although it may not be a medal.
You Are In My Prayers!
