Answer 1

First you stop....... You say you are saved?...If you have not submitted yourself to God then no prayer will be effective... if you belong to God then Go to God in prayer and just have a talk with him... tell Him all about it...just like talking to your best friend... are there any you have to forgive for tresspasses they may have commited against you?...then you first must forgive them if you want God to forgive you...then, ask Him, in The Name of Christ Jesus, for forgiveness...... and, with every bit of honesty try very hard not to do it again...

Answer 2

Though sex outside of marriage is immoral, and not wise on many levels, you have to remember that life, and spirituality are a journey. It is going to take time to overcome this - that is not a license to go do it again. But it does take time, as we are weak creatures, and sex is well a lot of fun.

If you are truly sorry for what you have done, and if you are a Christian, realize that you have been forgiven. The issue is self-forgiveness, or the deletion of guilt. If God has forgiven you, then you are no longer guilty! He is the One who ultimately decides guilt or innocence. Now, you must forgive yourself, because it never happened in His mind, He has forgotten about it, He has let it go. Now, you must too, and strive to do that which is right. That is what repentance is all about.

Answer 3

please try to be calm, and take a deep breath. Okay, now listen to me - I am terrible at Math and Science, but one thing I do know is Scripture:
First of all, the both of you need not keep from seeing each other, and talking to each other is very, very important right now.
Make a plan to get together for coffee. I mean as soon as possible. You have NOT committed an unpardonable sin. You obviously both love God, right? Well, God sent His Son who died for you so that you would have forgiveness when the flesh got the best of you. It did. Use that forgiveness. By the both of you acting the way you are, what you are doing is insulting to that blood shed for us. God is your Heavenly Father; the closest relative you have - talk to him like a father, he understands, and he forgives. Do you two love each other? Then get married, if that be possible. Your Father in Heaven wants you to be happy, and He wants to be able to ask his children to do his work, but how can he ask anything of either of you when you are in this sorrowful condition? Pull up the old bootstraps and toughen up. You have not made God angry - his Son lived among us so that He would understand the flesh. Pray and ask your Father for his forgivness; tell him about your love. Tell him
the truth. And then forgive yourselves, please. People who ask for Gods forgiveness and then keep worrying about the sin they committed, are an insult to Gods saving grace. They make God look like he failed in forgiving the sin in the first place, so don't do that. God will forgive you, and He doesn't even want the sin brought up again - its done, gone, kaput, got it?? And then you and your nice boyfriend need to go on in your lives happy and free of this worry. You are free in Christ. If an individual or a church holds you in bondage to a sin, they are liars. Do not
allow that. I say again: you are free in Christ, now repent and love your boyfriend.
Keep in mind that the flesh is gonna want
more, quite frankly, and I am not being
vulgar, but only telling you the truth: so you
both may want to think about marriage.
Now go call your boyfriend!! (right now!)

Answer 4

Ok everyone who says God isn't real needs to rethink some things out. How did you get to Earth? How was earth created. Don't tell me about all this crap cuz God does Exist. and so does the power of prayer. my friend was dieing and when i prayed everyday for him he got a ton better and is alive today.. IF YOU ARE SORRY PRAY LIKE ITS YOUR LAST DAY TO LIVEEEEE. tell God you are sorry and talk to him about helping you be stronger and whatever else you want. Do not lie to the big guy tho. He will forgive you. No matter what. Do not worry. God be with you =]

Answer 5

Daughter! You are already forgiven!
Do not repeat your sinful ways. Wait!

Proof he forgives:

Forgiveness I have just finished reading the article “The Bible’s Viewpoint . . . How Complete Is God’s Forgiveness?” (December 8, 1993) It was truly what I needed. This article helped me to see that when our God removes sins, they are gone, blotted out, washed away. As I write this letter, I feel real peace of mind.

It was comforting to know that Jehovah sees the heart and that he is willing to blot out our sins. I used to feel so unworthy of Jehovah’s forgiveness that I became depressed. I even thought of suicide. Close friends in the congregation have helped me. But I still need reassurance, and this article helped me.

We care!

Answer 6

According to 1 John 1:9 it says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness". That's all there is to it. Sometimes, people feel like there should be a light from heaven or this glorious feeling when they repent. But repentance is not a feeling, it is accepting God's Word and then walking in it. If you have asked God to forgive you, then you walk in it by faith. You said you have walked away from your relationship with your boyfriend. That's the evidence of your faith, if you have. What you might be struggling with now it guilt and worldly sorrow for living in that situation. But just get back up and get back into God. If you meditate on your situation too long the devil will use it to make you feel worse and pull you away for God. Okay, take care. I have been there myself. It you really need someone to talk to e-mail me. That's what I am here for.

Answer 7

I'd like for you to take some time to look up verses in the Bible about repentance. Because you know what...that is exactly what it sounds like you are doing.

Repentance is about turning away from sin. And you know what, God knows you are sorry. So, I would ask God to forgive you, then ask for his peace to fill you back up.

Then replace what God removes from your heart with prayer and knowledge of the scripture and a firm commitment to stay in God's path.

He loves you. Satan wants to make you continue to feel guilty. But you don't have to feel guilty any more. After all, God said to forgive 70x7, and love keeps no record of wrongs.

Answer 8

No, this is all hype. if fact be told God does not forgive very plenty in any respect. That finished "Jesus' blood covers all sin" element? entire lie. if fact be told that basically is going as much as shoplifting or mendacity on your mom approximately homework. ok, on a severe be conscious. i'm no longer non secular, and that i do no longer have faith non secular ideals will allow you to artwork via those issues. Christianity operates on guilt. with out it, it does not exist. In prepare, you would be made a slave via your thoughts of guilt. seek for professional help. It does not propose you're loopy.

Answer 9

I was in the same situation you guys were when my wife who was my girlfriend 9 years ago, and I were having sexual relations outside of marriage. To make the long story short ,we felt bad and convicted by the Holy Spirit and decided to pray together for the forgiveness of God. We promise God that we would never do it again and we would always pray for one another everyday. For 2 straight years the Lord gave us the wisdom and strengh to stay away sexualy until we got married in 1998. I suggest that you guys pray togther and stay away from places (your house,his house) when no one is home, it will only bring temptation. Today I have a beautiful wife and a cute boy because we decided to be obedient to God. Remember if you are not faithful in this area the Lord would not bless you. Pray to God for lots of wisdom and strengh and you will see that He will bless your relationship. God bless you. I will be praying for you guys!!! Just put everything in the hands of the Lord!!

Answer 10

if you feel unsure as I often do my heart just aches not knowing and I pray.. and apologize and think about how i could have avoided that and was there a reason why it happened and what I learned form it and Thank God for showing me the difference in my ways and His,, then to ask Him to Guide and protect you in his ways so these things will not happen, and then to remain humble unto him forever..... it helps maybe your faceing marrage??? is it possible , it surely could be a solution and if not does your boyfriend understand your faith and walk?,, or does he believe his own ways???? if this is the case if you want to remain Gods you might want to tell the boyfriend and let him know so if he does not like it then you will have struggles for quite a while ,,,but if he does understand you truely and that you want to continue to be faithful ... then that is wonderful
pray that God lead will lead you and show you truth and give you the strength to stand up against deceiving ways ...
