Heavenly Father,

I just finished saying a prayer to you in which I outlined a covenant with you.

I promise to you, and to myself to give up my rights and opinions on the matters of physical relations with women beyond this stated agreement with you:

I hereby refuse to have inappropriate relations with any woman. I promise that in the case of Helen, I will not lustfully kiss her (spend more than 2 seconds involved in a kiss), nor lay with her, nor to touch her in inappropriate locations, with or without clothing.

Heavenly Father, from this time on, I will not kiss any future girlfriend or interest that I have with a woman. I promise to you to keep our relationship as an example to your children as a righteous approach to relationships.

Most importantly, I will keep my thoughts righteous. If I notice a thought come into my mind that is not of you, I covenant with you that I will push it out. If necessary, I will physically leave a situation, or bring the matter up in discussion, regardless of the comfort level present.

Father, I know that this decision and commitment will bring me great blessings in my relationships with women, as well as my relationship with you. I will have a greater interest to serve you, and because of that, a deep rooted desire to serve others. My life, and the lives of those around me will be greatly blessed because of my covenant with you.

Thank you Father for this opportunity, to make yet another decision to keep my life in accordance to your will. Thank you for the change of heart that you are bringing to me stronger and stronger each day.

I love you very much and appreciate the blessings that you shower down upon me when I make covenant with you.

I say these things in Jesus’ name, amen.
