I'm really struggling with the issue of premarital sex. I have been doing this particular sin for a couple years now, and have a child as a result. Every time I do it I feel myself drifting further away from Christ which I hate, but I just can't seem to find a way back to where I should be with Christ. The closest friend I have is my boyfriend who I sleep with occasionally, so I don't have much support in turning my whole life back over to Christ. I just really need someone in my life right now who can help push me in the right direction, someone to hold me accountable. I'll even take prayers....anything I can get because I'm afraid that if I fall any deeper into this sin there may be no hope for me.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

First... First you will need to find church that will fit you and where you can gain support in real life... See where you live. Usually there are one or two.
Second, you may ask others to pray for you. Even in this forum... Though same people even can talk to you and give appropriate advises...
Third, don't forget about God. That helps. And you need to buy Bible or Christian literature and read it daily. That helps to understand what is going around you.
God bless...

You really need to get clear of the man who is using you for his own gratifications, and not interested in your well-being and future. As one said already, you ought to be associated with a sound Bible church ---that means one that preaches the love of God and teaches the Bible on Lord's Day. There you will find not only salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but others who seek to honor Him, and will fellowship with you. Church activities in a godly assembly can give you a happy and helpful life.
Read your Bible daily and you will come to know God and His ways. I recommend one begin in John 1; John 3; John 14 to see what God has for us; then when you find a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus you will have a new life and the Holy Spirit of God forever and peace.

Thanks for your advice! I think the hardest part for me now is telling him that I no longer want that lifestyle.

Pray to God for strength, courage, and wisdom; and seek the Lord Jesus as lord of your life and best Friend. You will thus be blessed and find new direction. He will not fail one who truly knows Him who gave His life to save yours. You can learn more about the Savior at the good site: biblecounsel.net, I have found.

Certainly I'll pray for you. Also, I see you are getting good feedback in this thread. I think you will feel better if you remove yourself from participating in the sin in question. Another thing that will happen is that you will come closer to God when you are living according to His will. One of the things about sin is that it puts distance between us and the Lord when we are actively participating in it. That's not good for us. But we can move in the opposite direction and find that the wedges begin disappearing and we will feel ourselves being embraced by the Lord again.
God bless you.
Faithfully,
CH Sacerdote

It looks like a great website 1watchman, thank you. And I appreciate the prayers and advice sacerdote.
I have been taking all the suggestions to heart and trying to focus on God more, and even in this short time I've felt better than I have in a while. It's a great feeling.
