I'm 29, never had a boyfriend or kissed and stuff, out of a desire to honor God, but unfortunately know lust, because of the fallen society, because of players that mess with innocent girls who don't know anything. Anyhow, I finally started seeing the man of my prayers, but one huge problem I have with him is lust. Because he told me that I was not sexually attracted to him, it's something I've been thinking about alot, which is opening things that have been suppressed. I've never been healed of my lusting, but it had not been an issue, and now that I finally might cross the marriage border to the land of sex, my lust is blocking God's will from being done. I wish to God I didn't think about sleeping with the guy I'm seeing, but I can't, or don't want to control the physical pressing desire. What can I do to want to control myself? I do love God, and He knows that. But I don't have conviction yet, that my small, in my mind sin, matters. I just think it's societies fault for pushing the marriage age so far back. Oi.

What would you have him do to demonstrate his conviction? Now challenge yourself to do the same on this blog tomorrow. Now imagine having to do the same when you're president. Peace.
