I want to apologize for my emotional messiness on this topic. I am very sorry to hear of the suffering of my brothers here.

It's no problem brother, I see (or read it at least) you are in pain, and there have been times I couldn't have read all this "keep your head up" stuff, and keep a good attitude either. I do sincerely hope Jesus gets through to you soon, it's the only guaranteed peace out there. I do truly wish you the best man, if there is anything I could do to help (short of Fed-Ex-ing you a wife) please let me know.
May His peace find you,
your brother in Christ,
Jimmy Rogers

Thank you Jimmy. Even writing a nice post like the one you just wrote helps. Thank you for the understanding and patience. As well to the earlier posters. Thank you for listening and caring.

Will God love me if I kill myself?
Clearly he does not want me to have a girlfriend.
Hey Mister, I'm really sorry to hear that you are feeling the way you are. Please don't let a group of uncaring or judgemental people drive you away from Jesus. We are all human and sometimes people are not that considerate of the situations people are in. I strongly disagree that God doesn't want you to have a girlfriend. He wants what is best for you bro.

I think that the reason God says not to have sex before marriage is because sex is a commitment. I have had friends who have been in sexual relationships and when they broke up it was absolutely devastating for both of them. Despite what society says, Sex means an awful lot.

God loves you so much Mister and he would love you to be able to live your life well. He wants to be in a relationship with you and he loves you so much. I cannot say that enough. He even gave his own son to die for us! Why would he send Jesus to die if he didn't think we were worth it? The fact of the matter is that God values you so much!

Thanks. I understand your point about sex meaning an awfully big emotional commitment because of its closeness. Right now, I am content most of the time with God's love alone. There have been times where I get an very unsettling feeling of being left out and left behind and I "burn with frustration and anger". Its very difficult to go through because it can set fire to many things in my life. So I usually pray to not be left out or left behind. I feel a need for God to know that I know that He knows, if that makes sense. I have to express it honestly and in those moments its very difficult to do that in a pleasant way because of the frustration. Any ideas?

I am a little disappointed with your lack of encouragement or compassion on me. You have not reacted to the same levels I have. Do you think its possible you have also not suffered at the same levels I have regarding this? Either way, I think you should be a little more gentle towards a brother who has been overtaken. You should be helping that one sheep gone astray not criticizing me.
Look, this morning I awoke to a vision of an aggressive demon of lust. My stomach has been hurting for about the past month, especially upon waking up. This morning, after I saw that and felt my stomach hurting, I began to cast out the demon of lust from my body in Jesus' precious name. My stomach felt completely better in a matter of seconds. Praise the Lord.
Knowing that it is the enemy after you with some powerful temptations. Use that knowledge to stand your ground and not let it defeat you. Maybe even go on the offensive against it by asking Jesus to hurt this thing, chase it off and beat it up.
Every time you sense its presence, Go on the attack against this thing again with the help from Jesus. Beating it up,Hurting it, and causing it to flee anytime it gets near you. End this things mission against you and maybe others.

Amen. My body has been feeling better and I find the Lord has been granting my body peace so that I also am not tempted.
Thank you for pointing out this perspective. I will certainly use your advice when it happens.
