Dear Pastor,

I would like to congratulate you on the job you are doing. I would like you to help me with my problems.

There are three guys in my life. The first is my 'so-called' boyfriend. He does not treat me like he cares for me. I think he is talking to me because he feels sorry for me. I also found out that he is cheating on me. We have been together for more than a year and I haven't got anything from the relationship. He rarely calls me and he does not know much about me. Please tell me what to do and if you say I should break up with him, please tell me how to do it.

The second guy is my good friend who now wants a relationship. We are a bit close. We met in a chat room and he is from Grenada. I am a 15-year-old Christian and if I see an opportunity to save my soul, I am going to take it.

I know the third guy because of his sister who gave him my number. We have not met, but we have been talking over the phone for several months. I am thinking about meeting him soon. He has asked me to have sex with him on several occasions, but I have told him no. By biblical principles this is wrong. With regard to the guy in the chat room, do you think I should give him a picture of myself?

My problem with my 'boyfriend' is that he does not treat me well and I am worried that if I allow the others, they will do the same.

My next problem is that I have irregular menstruation. I would like you to pray for me to receive the victory. I am a virgin.

Please pray also for my mother that God will bless her and help her to repent and accept Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.

I also need you to pray for me that God will strengthen me and take me to another level. I need his help to get over my weaknesses and to be strong during my temptations and trials that I may succeed greatly in school and in Jesus.

Dear L.P.,

You are not ready to have a steady relationship. A 15-year- old-girl should have social boy friends but she should not be attached to any one of them. These guys are just causing you to be confused.

They are messing up your mind. Drop all of them. You will not die if you do not have intimate boyfriends. Every one is trying to get under your skirt. Tell them to get lost. Trust the good Lord and He will direct your path.

Pastor
