A close friend of mine is getting married next weekend. To celebrate with her some friends threw her a bachelorette party. The party was being hosted by church people and they assured the guests that they were going to keep things classy. I had been to a couple of other bachelorette parties previously and was confident that it would not be more than I could handle. The party was on the clean side and nothing offensively vulgar. The part that caused me trouble was the opening of gifts. The bride received gifts for her honeymoon, and speculated about what that would be like.
After the party was over, I couldn't help but wish that I been receiving those gifts and wish that I would be enjoying those parts of marriage soon. For the next few days, I had sex on the brain and couldn't seem to get it out. I kept imagining and wondering about my honeymoon, and feeling very impatient.
Prayer: God, I pray that you will help me control my thoughts. Help me to have patience to save for marriage everything that is designed for marriage. Help me to make no compromises. Help me to pursue purity. Help me overcome temptation.
