I feel God is calling me to honestly speak ...

[LivingWaters]

I feel God is calling me to honestly speak up about something that I need help praying for. I am letting guilt and pride get in the way of my relationship with God.

My boyfriend and I live together. We want to get married maybe this time next year. We live together because my boyfriend has serious debts from a failed business. They overwhelmed him so that he simply couldn't pay rent any more. I can only afford to support him while he is paying off the debts if we live together. I can't afford two separate rental payments so that we can live apart. We both know it is wrong to be living together like this. I want to return to church but I feel ostracised and guilty, even though I know in my heart that God knows my reasons. I want to speak to a priest about the reason that I live with my boyfriend and I wish to ask forgiveness and get married before God and put this sin behind us. I also pray that my boyfriend's family will accept our relationship without judgement like my own family has done. If you don't mind, I ask you please to spare a prayer for us. Thanks and God Bless you all, In Jesus' Holy name I pray. Amen

God forgives you. Please don't worry because God doesn't want us to feel anxiety or worry. He says to put all our worries unto Him. It's understandable if you simply couldn't live with family instead. And I can see how intimacy is a temptation living together alone. But pray for strength to wait. God forgives the first time you ask. Nobody is perfect, it's why we're human. Don't beat yourself up so much, ok? God Bless and remember not to worry so much, you're doing your best and God knows.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
