Emergency prayer

[brettnolan]

Although I haven't been around very regularly lately, I'm sure some of you still remember the "King."

Anyway, some of you may also remember that I finally accomplished the impossible task of getting a girl to go out with me.

Well now, and here's the prayer request, we are struggling with the impossible task of not having sex until we get married.

Please just PRAY for us.

Not that I don't value good advice, but I'm 35 and have heard it all before and even given most of it myself. What I feel like we really need right now is supernatural intervention, and while my girlfriend and I pray about it...I'm not sure our hearts are really into it if you know what I mean.

So advise if you must...but we'd really apppreciate your prayers more.

thank you all SO much,
The Moron King

Kin of the Mo-rons right?

Yep, prayer said.

On a side note, congratulations on overcoming the previously mentioned hardships!

Thank you all SO much. God is AWESOME!

Little background...first of all, on day one, we both said that we didn't want to have sex outside of marriage. Well, as things progress for two thirtysomethings, who have always had sex whenever they wanted, it becomes more and more difficult to control one's self.

We have been real close to falling on more than one occasion, but Wednesday night took absolutely everything we had and then some to keep from having sex. Thursday, I just kept having the feeling that we were going to give up trying that night and just do it. I didn't think that there was ANY WAY we weren't going to make love last night. So I asked you guys for prayer. Even still, when I got home, I showered and shaved and "got ready" just in case (isn't that horrible?).

So my girlfriend has a 15 yr old daughter, and usually she leaves her at home to come to my place, because that's about the only way we can get some alone time. But last night, for whatever reason, she started on her way to my house and had to turn around and go home.

I can't believe anything else except that your prayers were answered and the Holy Spirit moved in her last night and kept her home.

If you remember, please keep us in your prayers...we certainly can't do this without God's help, and as I said yesterday, we DO ask Him for help, but I'm not so sure we wouldn't rather just have sex with each other.

Thank You
TMK

Awesome that God interveined(sp), but you guys are going to have to be alone together eventually, so I'll keep praying.

 

[BeautyForAshes]

My prayers are with you both. I can certainly understand your struggle.

When are you getting married, if there is such a struggle, it may not be healthy. If you take yourself away from the way that the world looks at sex, it will be easier. Also, if you are messing around at all, it will be much harder. Completely cut off everything except hugging, kissing, and gentle appropriate touches. I recently did this and prayed that God would take away my temptation and it is mostly gone.

 

[Tenken]

I understand your pain. My prayers be with you always, and may God help you guard your heart and deliver you from temptations, Amen!

Brett, that's good news about God's intervention. Making special care to NOT be alone together might be a good idea at this point. But I know that you already know that. Sometimes the struggle isn't with accidentally making a poor decision, but caring if you make a bad decision. I think many of us have been there.

Keep hanging in there. You've got children to be a good influence for.
