Dear Friend,

I realize that the temptation to be intimate with your girlfriend is great and you have been doing some inappropriate things with her. However, the two of you need to be repentent and ask the Lord to forgive you--which I am sure by what you say that you have at least. Perhaps, you should have a serious talk with your girlfriend BEFORE going over to see her and tell her what has been on your heart. Lay down boundaries that both of you can agree not to cross so that the intimacy that you have been sharing does not cross the line into something physical. I am sure that you love her--and I hope that those feelings are mutual between her. Just express how you love her and that you want to be pure when you get married...should you decide to do so. Express how important it is that you wait...and you could apologize for your inappropriate actions. Seek the Lord to find His will for the relationship and allow Him to have lead over it.

Finally, pray for the strength to perservere through your temptations. This is what Jesus recommended to Peter...who unfortunately did not listen and when he was tried he failed. If you pray for strength, the Lord will give it to you.

Dear Lord,

I pray that You would guard this man's heart. Please show him Your will for the relationship and soften his heart so that You would be allowed to guide and direct the coarse of this couple's union. I pray that You would intervene and that You would give this man strength not to fall into temptation. I pray that You would show him how he can resist the devil, who is said biblically that he will flee if this is done. Please, Lord--there has been inappropriateness, but that is between You and this couple. Show them your way and how to be intimate emotionally without the sexual connotations that the world has attached.

Have Your will and Your way. In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
