I am not the alcoholic, my spouse is, so is the only thing I can do is pray & wait? I have been praying, I am tired of praying, tired of his alcohol addiction- tired of all of it. I have asked in prayer the desire to drink is taken away. God knows the problem. What you say makes sence, the person needs to admit & confess their sin… I am not the alcoholic, my spouse is,

I am a 23 year old single woman searching for a Godly young man, and I am quite sad to say there are none Godly that I have found (outside of my family!) Two prospects so far have been addicted to pornography (there are prospects no longer!) and I am discouraged and angered to say the least. I am quick to forgive to I allowed myself to think such perversion was only a struggle and was proven wrong by their lack of turning away from it completely, even though they shared 'heartfelt' feelings of 'sadness' over their sin. Thank you for this and the preceding article! The good Lord has shown me that it is a deathly serious issue and that it's not an option to be with a 'christian' that 'struggles' with such filth. It's a tough world out there, and I'm not perfect...but the Lord rips me from my sin and I repent completely. How can I expect less of any man? Thank you for your ministry! I have been learning from your materials since age 16. Praying for your wisdom and knowledge always. Thank you for this.
