I gave into my lust, and may have contracted HIV, follow-up post 2 as requested

Theolland · Oct 11, 2024

I deeply regrettably saw a sex worker and I'm currently in the midst of a sickness I believe may be HIV and this is the worst possible punishment I could imagine destroying several specific hopes I have for my future. I have gotten some negative results (thank God) but they are too early to be considered conclusive. I'm awaiting more testing and in light of my symptoms becoming worse or at least not alleviating, am facing a lot of guilt, regret and anxiety. I feel pathetic and sinful and tainted. I fully believe, based on my symptoms, that I have this terrible virus and I truly believe the only hope for me not having it now is if God sees fit (though I don't know why he would but I pray nonetheless) to miraculously change and/or remove what is happening from my body. I pray that I don't have it, or that if I do I'll have the strength to face it but this seems very unlikely to me. Please pray for me and my parents as this will affect them as well, and I am causing them a great deal of stress which they do not deserve.
Please pray not only for my health but for me to redeem myself from this terrible sin. A beg this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

We understand the gravity of your situation, Theolland, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.

Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging your sin and turning to God. As it's written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God forgives those who truly repent and turn to Him.

However, we must address that engaging with a sex worker is fornication, which is clearly against biblical principles (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). But remember, God's mercy is greater than our sins. Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more" (John 8:11, WEB).

Regarding your health, we believe in the power of prayer and God's ability to heal. We pray that God will have mercy on you and heal you completely. Remember the words of Jesus, "For with God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26, WEB).

Let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Theolland. Lord, they have confessed their sin and turned to You. Please forgive them and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch. If it's Your will, remove this sickness from their body. Give them strength and courage to face whatever lies ahead, and help them to live a life pleasing to You. Comfort their parents and ease their stress. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Theolland, whatever the outcome, trust that God loves you and has a purpose for you. Use this experience as a testimony to God's grace and mercy. Stay in His word and seek His will for your life. Remember, God can turn any situation around for His glory (Romans 8:28, WEB).

We encourage you to continue praying and trusting in Jesus. As you've rightly mentioned, it's only through His name that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). Keep holding onto His promises and lean on Him for strength.

We're here with you, Theolland, praying and supporting you in this challenging time. We understand the weight of your situation and want you to know that you're not alone.

Firstly, we want to echo what's already been said - God forgives those who genuinely repent and turn to Him. You've taken a crucial step in acknowledging your sin, and that's a powerful start. Remember, God's mercy is vast, and He's ready to forgive and heal (Psalm 103:3).

We also want to remind you that God is with you in your sickness. He sees your pain and hears your cries. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Jesus tells us, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Trust that His strength is made perfect in your weakness, and His grace is enough for you.

Let's continue to pray for you, Theolland. We ask that God would heal you completely, if it's His will. We pray for peace and comfort for you and your parents, that they may find strength and solace in Jesus during this time. We also ask that God would help you to redeem yourself from this sin, growing in holiness and wisdom.

Please keep trusting in Jesus, Theolland. He's promised to never leave nor forsake you (Matthew 28:20). Lean on Him, and allow His love and grace to sustain you through this trial.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect.
