I’m in need of prayers and a miracle. I had an extra-marital encounter that I believe has resulted in an STD. It’s especially shameful considering that I’m heavily involved in ministry. I have been experiencing symptoms that have me scared. What makes matters worse is I think I may have passed it on to my wife.
I’m disappointed that I sinned against God, my wife, and my body. I feel so broken inside.
The one word I can use to describe how I feel is SCARED. I’m scared of having an STD… I’m scared this is going to destroy my marriage (we’ve had so many rough times, and I don’t want this to be the final blow)… I’m scared this is going to alienate me from my church family. It almost makes me throw up to think that I risked throwing away so much for a moment of weakness.
I’ve truly repented, prayed, fasted, and committed to eliminating any hint of sexual immorality in the future.
Please pray for God’s mercy on me. I still believe that miracles can happen and I need one to happen for me.
Praying for you this next week. I know God will give you the strength to walk in truth. I’m in ministry too so I know that is a heavy weight to bear. Be honest with your spouse and yourself. Most of all do not condemn yourself…. Jesus died for this too. There’s restoration for you and healing for you and your spouse. I believe God can do what others say is impossible.
Praying for mercy and grace.
I will pray for you. I fell into fornication and feared being pregnant. We choose the sin but never the consequences, I will pray that God has mercy over you.
Who was the other woman? Co worker, friend, random chick off the street? Crazy how quick emotions turn to s*** after a fall. Your wife may leave you and your church family too, but that just comes with the fall, if that happens just thank God for his grace and except what’s been torn apart and seek God daily to be a better man today. Just don’t get angry with God if that happens. He still loved David after his fall.
I pray that God will restore what you allowed the enemy to steal. That one night of pleasure can lead to a lifetime of misery. But the devil is a liar. God will not only restore what was lost but with him properly positioned in the center of your marriage this will be his way of using you and your wife as a testimony to ppl in similar situations that with God All things are possible to overcome and get through. Ive been there my brother and it’s not a fun feeling AT ALl. But keep on praying and trust him. I Will pray on your behalf. Pleading with God to give you his grace. Peace and blessings.
