The temptation of the flesh is terrible. Sex is everywhere and it is hard to be strong when is in put in your face constantly. Be strong and turn to God. It is hard because your mind and heart know it is wrong, but somehow the body doesn't always want to cooperate. Pray for peace and strength. Stay away from situtions that cause temptation. My story. I had sex when I was sixteen. I considered myself a christian. I knew it was wrong and I gave in. I cried the whole way home. I knew God was dissappointed in me and I was dissappointed in myself. When I look back, I should have not let things go so far. It started out with snuggling on the couch and then petting and then it happened. Ishould have never let the temptation get that far. Temptation is strong, but God is stronger. I ended marrying the man I had sex with. He is the only partner I have ever had. He is my best friend and my rock. We have grown a lot. On our wedding night, we didn't even have sex. It wasn't anything special. I had ruined the gift. You can only give that gift once and when you find the right person you want him to be that person. I found the right person, but gave in to early and it was awkward and I was unsure. It wasn't anything I thought it would be. Now it is better because we know each other and share everything. Before, I didn't know he was the one. I gave in pretty early. We had a long rocky road that we did not have to travel because sex adds much more pressure in a relationship. God is good and forgave me. I turned to him when I thought my relationship was falling a part and realized that God wants us to be obedient to him and not to our bodies. When I realized this things got so much better. Turn to god when the temptation is strong. He will guide you and reward you for your obedience. Don't ruin your wedding night like I did. Don't take the chance on the wrong someone. It will be worth the wait!

Thank you everyone for the prayers and the Bible verses. Thay have really helped me and given me some peace. Each day has still been a struggle. I am still going through the miscarriage and in pain, but am just so sad about it. I can't stop thinking about court and the whole idea of losing my license and what that would entail for my little girls. I try to take it one day at a time, but I still am feeling pretty down about it all. I am giving it to God and pray in Jesus' name that I get through this and stop letting it control my life. Please keep praying for me. I thank all of you.

Sorry for the typos above.

Thannk you all so much. I bellieve God has a plan. I think it is that maybe I need to get back on track with him first and give it all to him rather than try miserably to fix it myself. How easy it is to forget to thank God when you are on the easy path. I just want to have that spark and that relationship with him again and stop letting the world try and rule me. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I believe in the power of prayer and because so many around me don't know what I am going through I feel alone. Your prayers have already given me peace in knowing God is in control. Someone out there praying for you can really be felt. Please continue to pray for me. I have been struggling with doubt and just wish all those thoughts would go away. Satan has really attacked me recently with these thoughts of how someone who is loves me like God could give me so much to deal with. I will study all of the verses and I pray my relationship with God the creator of all will be stronger and that I can get throuh theses things. Thank you all again. C

Hi. I am a 31 year old christian female and am having a really hard time lately. There's an old saying that God doesn't give you more than you can handle. I think I am almost there. I just wanted to know if someone could give me some key Bible verses to get me through this really rough time as I am starting to get mad at God and don't want to be. My mom is dying of kidney failure. It is slow and she is suffering and it hurts me to see her suffer. I love her so much. I was in a car accident in January and found out my husband hadn't paid the insurance for two months so my accident was not covered. More than the money, although I don't have any, I have been to court twice and have to go again to try and not have my license suspended for a year. I am mad at my husband for not paying the bill with out my knowledge. I have two very small children who I stay home with and don't know what I would do if I couldn't drive them to the park or dr's office or my daughter to preschool. This is always in the back of my mind. I am in the midst of having a miscarriage. A surprise baby, but very much wanted and I am devastated. It started yesterday and then I had to go to court last night just to find out I have to go back in two weeks. My family doesn't live near me. I am all alone with my kids and am feelling so sad. I don't want them to know I feel awful and am in pain. If that isn't enough, my husband's company just got sold and his job is up in the air. We live in a two bedroom apartment without a washer or dryer, which I know is petty, but it does make life harder. I just can't take much more and it is all happening at the same time. I keep praying that God's will be done, but I am having such a hard time with all this happening. I am sorry for babbling, it is just that it is so much and I feel so heavy. I know God will get me through. It is just so hard to be patient. If anyone has any advice or Bible verses or anything that would help me cope I would really appreciate it.
