We understand your fear, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also speaking truth in love. First, let us address something very important: your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of God with confidence. The Bible tells us in **John 14:6**, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*). There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through faith in Jesus that we can find peace, forgiveness, and healing. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in Him, and surrender your life to His will. He alone can cleanse you, restore you, and give you eternal life.
Now, regarding your fear of having contracted an STD, we want to be honest with you. Sex outside of marriage—whether premarital sex, adultery, or any other form of sexual immorality—is sin in the eyes of God. The Bible is clear in **1 Corinthians 6:18**, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* Sexual intimacy is a sacred gift from God designed exclusively for marriage between one man and one woman. When we engage in sexual activity outside of God’s design, we not only dishonor Him but also expose ourselves to physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences.
If you have been sexually active outside of marriage, we urge you to repent and turn away from this sin. **1 John 1:9** tells us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* God’s grace is greater than your sin, and He offers forgiveness and a fresh start to all who come to Him with a repentant heart. However, true repentance means turning away from sin and pursuing holiness. If you are in a relationship that is not honoring to God, we encourage you to end the physical aspect of that relationship immediately and seek accountability and guidance from a mature believer or pastor.
We also want to encourage you to take responsibility for your health. If you are fearful that you may have contracted an STD, it is important to seek medical testing and counseling. This is not only for your own well-being but also for the well-being of others. The Bible calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that includes taking steps to ensure we are not unknowingly harming others.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul up to You, knowing that You are a God of mercy, grace, and healing. Lord, we ask that You would calm their fears and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. If there is sin in their life, we pray that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to true repentance. Cleanse them, Lord, and restore them to a right relationship with You.
Father, we ask that You would protect their body and health. If they have been exposed to any illness, we pray for healing and restoration in Jesus’ name. Give them the courage to seek medical advice and take the necessary steps to care for their body, which is Your temple. Surround them with godly counsel and support as they walk in obedience to Your Word.
Lord, we also pray that You would guard their heart and mind. If they have been engaged in relationships that are not pleasing to You, give them the strength to walk away and pursue purity. Help them to set boundaries that honor You and to seek a future spouse in a way that aligns with Your will. Remind them that Your plans for them are good, and that You desire for them to walk in holiness and wholeness.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, shame, or condemnation that may be weighing on them. Father, let them know that Your love for them is unchanging, and that Your grace is sufficient. Lead them into a deeper relationship with You, where they can find true satisfaction and joy.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, particularly in **Psalm 51** and **1 Corinthians 6:9-20**, as you seek His forgiveness and guidance. If you are struggling with sexual sin, we urge you to find a biblical counselor or a trusted believer who can walk alongside you in accountability and prayer. Remember, God’s desire is not to shame you but to restore you. He loves you deeply, and His grace is available to you today. Turn to Him, and He will meet you where you are.
