Any advice? Just realized I miss spelled the word celibate.
Just realized I miss spelled the word celibate.
First thing to realise is that sexual desires are normal and not evil in themselves. Trying to suppress those desires by willpower is futile for most people. However, if we have the indwelling Holy Spirit then we have Him to be our self control. As we commit ourselves entirely to the Lord Jesus, so that He really is Lord of our lives in practice, He becomes responsible for our Christian lives. While we want to remain independent, we miss out on His power to live the righteous life. I was normal and divorced. That is a difficult combination. I asked the Lord to lower my sex drive. To my amazement, He did. We also need to avoid temptation. Not easy the way that many women dress these days. Learn to avert your eyes. Avoid clicking on anything remotely dubious on the internet. Ask "Do not lead me into temptation, but deliver me from evil". Learn to resist any imaginations. You don't have to allow your thoughts to freewheel.Any advice?

Find Ekklesia who know it is possible to stop sinning, and stop sinning.Any advice? Just realized I miss spelled the word celibate.
A couple years ago I was desperate to get married but honestly after being on forums and reading about so many failed marriages my desire for it has dwindled. I'm still looking but I'm coming to grips that I might never marry and that that is ok. It might be better than married life.
I dunno I guess she is trying to not get super promiscuous outside of marriage. I have a hard time finding christian men that are interested in me too.
