Prayer for Sexual Drive
Testimony★★★★I have an unmarried friend who prays earnestly for God to lessen or even remove his sexual drive. It causes him constant temptation. As gently as I can, I tell him I doubt that God will answer his prayer the way he wants. More likely, he will learn fidelity the way anyone learns it, by relying on discipline, community, and constant please of dependence. –Philip Yancey, Our Daily Bread, .
The point
A friend prays for God to remove his sexual drive, but the author suggests God is more likely to teach fidelity through discipline and community.
