[__ Prayer __] Prayers and Praise for me and my boyfriend!

I'm proud to announce that my boyfriend and I have began our journey to becoming better Christians. How are we doing this? Well, we started our relationship having premarital sex, and now we have chosen to wait for marriage! :) him and I have come a long intense way in our relationship in just 3 months. We attend church together, pray together and now we are committing ourselves on a more spiritual level. I ask for prayer -- to help us stay on track and remain true to Gods word! :) also praise is welcomed as this is a huge step for both of us. He also vowed to stop watching pornography completely.

 
You're both in my prayers, BrandiLynn. The path you have chosen is honorable: you are putting our Lord in first place in your lives, and are seeking His way. Bless you for this!
 
Hi Brandi and I can just praise the Lord at your testimony. I will also pray that God strengthen you and your boyfriend to keep the resolve to follow God's will for your lives in Jesus' name. :wave
 
Thank you all so much for the prayer and praises. My journey as a new Christian is becoming more beautiful each day and I owe it all to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I find myself yearning to read Gods word and I am doing daily devotionals. My boyfriend is struggling though. He has accepted Chris into his heart, yet his mind hasn't followed suit. I find that God is working through me to help him. Praying with him and or him. I also give advice I never thought I knew. Satan has been attacking his mind, desperately. Giving him thoughts of doubt and self-worthlessness. I pray even harder. Give him Bible verses and special prayers for different occasions and yet he still faulters. Will his mind someday be strong against Satans manipulations? I pray that God (and his perfect plan for him) will soon soak in. So a new prayer that I need is that God and Jesus will fill him up with the glory of the Holy Spirit and guide him away from these negative thoughts.

Thank you and God bless!

BrandiLynn:

Keep praying; it's good and healthy for someone learning to trust the Lord Jesus day by day to get into the prayer and Bible reading habit day by day. I read what you said in your previous post, too; and you know, it can be a real act of faith to throw away the pack of condoms because they won't be needed in the foreseeable future until any wedding (if then), can't it? Keep trusting.

Blessings.
 
Things are getting so much better! God has blessed me and my family and my boyfriend so much lately. He has faltered a little here and there, and Satan is still attacking his mind. Constantly hanging the bait in front of him and severely tempting him to take it. But day by day he is getting stronger through my prayers and his own. We have been doing more devotional s together and I foresee his faith beginning to get stronger in The Lord. :) Life is going more smoothly thanks to our loving and faithful God!

Blessings to you, too. :)
 
This is prayer request and praise forum.... And praise to the LORD for your trust and desire to please Him!

I won't hijack this thread and debate anybody, but I want to tell you to ignore Nicolas. In this case, he is wrong. You and your boyfriend have done something wonderful. Yes, you committed sin, but you have repented and have been cleansed. You have a whole new beginning. And that is just a testament to the grace and mercy of our Lord.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness[/u]." - 1 John 1:19 ESV (emphasis added)

You and your boyfriend have been added to my prayers, and I just want to encourage the both of you to stay on the track you're on. It won't always be easy, because your bodies remember how it felt when you were sexually active, and that will pull at you. Keep your focus on the Lord, and He will pull you through it. This is an awesome decision you have made, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

Nicolas, I have deleted your posts as they are in violation of the spirit of the Prayer Requests & Praises forum. The OP has asked for prayers, this is the place to give them. If you do not wish to offer prayers for her and her boyfriend, then please do not reply to this thread. This is not the forum to give advice or judge what she has done.

Posts by others have been deleted because they quoted deleted posts.
 
BrandiLynn, your story reminds me of an old school friend of mine. She was agnostic like everyone I knew when I was a teen, and she met her now-husband at age 18. He was somewhat christian but not really anything you could consider "born again".
They fell in love, had a good relationship and also had sex. Everything went fine (according to our agnostic teenage ideals).
Some time into their relationship the guy met another young christian (who coincidentially had been at my school, too) who was on fire for Jesus and dedicated to spreading His message and living radically for Him. They became friends and my friend's husband deepened his faith and became more and more devout to God. He joined their church and started working in their ministry. My friend, however, was "seeking", but still agnostic. Their relationship went through a crisis because she realised God was now more important to him than she was, and their love couldn't last unless she'd join his faith so they could work in their ministry together. Her boyfriend also insisted they'd stop having sex because in God's standard those things belong to a marriage. Very sorrowfull situation for my friend. We talked about it a lot so I know what she went through.
But thank the Lord, HE found her and touched her heart so she could find real faith. After years of searching she was baptised and joined his church, too. They maintained an abstinent relationship for another while growing spiritually and emotionally together, and less than a year later they got married and now I suppose they are having all sex they want, and with God's blessing. :lol They've been married for many years now, building up a small church together, and they look very happy.

So you are not the only ones deciding to give up sex in a relationship in order to please and obey God. There are other couples like you, and God has blessed them, because in relinquishing premarital sex with another they have shown a will for a deeper commitment to each other founded in God. And I can imagine ceasing to have sex is harder waiting in the first place, I sure admire you for chosing that path.
 
Hello Everyone!

So, just updating a little bit. I haven't been on much, and I wish I had been! Anyways, my boyfriend and I have faltered on the premarital sex once, and since then we have asked God for His forgiveness and since then we haven't faltered. We are working on staying true to our Lord as much as possible.

We plan on getting married in the next 2 months or so. So that's GREAT news!! :D

Hope everyone is having a great week.

God bless.
