Hold fast to saying the same thing (as the Word)
Member
I'm not married. I am 36 and have very little experience with women.
Because I try to do the right thing and wait for the right one.
The problem is that I am going crazy with lust, and actually got deeply depressed out of loneliness.
My question is: should I follow the lesser evil and find a girl to have sex with and feel another person's skin.
To soothe the pain or should I keep waiting for the one?
It's taking forever!
 
I see that emotionally things are difficult right now and even more so for everyone at the current state of our world.

I'm sure it's difficult, being frustrated at not finding the right one yet. You're not alone out there in this world with this.

I want you to go back and read your post...you are suggesting to follow a "lesser evil" and just find a girl for a one night stand? A lesser evil...is there such a thing? How can an "evil" be lesser? I don't think there is such a thing. Evil is evil no matter how it's placed, something may tell us, "Oh, but it's not as bad as...(fill in the blank)." That's the devil talking, trying to convince you that there is something evil, but making it look like a good thing for you. Don't be fooled by this; stand strong!

Stick to what you are 100% is true and good and that's God and His word. Pray to God about this, He knows your hurt, and talk to Him about it. Tell Him that you feel the need a wife in your life. Meditate on His word as it seems that you are under a spiritual attack here. It may be painful, but just do it! Things will get better!

Here are some verses that come to mind:

James 1:2-3
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

1 Timothy 6:11-12
But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

James 4:7
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.


Matthew 26:41
Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”


Romans 6:12-14
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.


I remember I had a friend that was about your age at the time a few years ago. She cried out to me that she was not married and that she was getting older and she felt that she would need to "settle" with whoever she could find. I remember talking with her and it was hard to find the words because I was already married and didn't want to hurt her more. I was positive that there was someone out there for her. About 2 years ago she got married (this was about 7 years later after she worried about never finding someone to me). So it seems that there was someone out there.

Patience is hard a lot of times...especially when emotions are going on overdrive and it all becomes so overwhelming. Find something to keep you busy...try out a new hobby - you never know when you'll find someone. Trust in God that He will find you that one. Nothing is too hard for him.
 
Agree with Luminous. Value the purity you have now. Many a male has caved into their lust. And all they have to show for it is loss of self respect. you can offer a woman something special.
Having said that, if you happen to cave in to that lust, it's not the end of the world. Just don't become promiscuous.

keep waiting its easy to cave in. but takes a strong person not cave in. you will find the right gal and marriage can happen just dont take any ol woman .
Hebrews 13:4

“Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge

Thanks! This actually helps my spirit!
 
Exercise....become a gym junkie...or jog 10km a day. Push it hard if your libido Is driving you crazy.
Haha! I do work out and do jogging in the forest often. About 10k actually! And this has been mye therapy and it really does a lot for my thinking and keeps me fit. ?

Thank you for those good words! It helps me to stay on the road.
This post is mostly a frustration that had to be shared and support is more than enough to keep me going!
I am totally leaning more this way than the other way.
I will pray and get to think right and stay strong! In Him and not me!
Thanks:)
 
You're welcome =) and I'm glad we were all able to offer some good helping words!
That's why we are all here right? ;)
This post felt kind of personal, but at the same time maybe as Christians we should share more with each other.
Bring everything into the light..
Love.

That's interesting. Now I have a picture of a young Christian athlete?
"I love God and when I run I feel his pleasure".
I recommend a movie called "Chariots of Fire". A main character is Christian and goes to the Olympics. One of my fave movies.

Haha! Well said! And thanks for the tip! I will check that out.
Always looking for good books and movies, keep em coming! ?
 
A friend of mine watched Chariots of Fire in the cinema when it came out. Because of that movie:
1. He immediately went for a 10km run afterwards.
2. He converted to Christianity.
3. He stopped playing rugby when it was held on Sundays. A big sacrifice because he was the best player in the team.
 
Seems like a movie about a person who choose to stand up for he's believes.
Something many Christians should do more. (Myself included)
 
Motivation is highly needed and appreciated!
I saw a movie/documentary called touching the void. Based on real experience.
Not a Christian movie per say.

But really moved me and inspiring.
We can relate and learn from watching people's lives and experiences I think.
