As Chad left Jess’s room later, fear and elation cycled through his veins. Kissing her had been amazing - he had definitely missed it - but his desire for her hadn’t changed, and it had been hard to stop himself this time. So hard! The bed was right there, and her scent had driven him crazy. But he had refrained. However, he knew more time spent together would mean more temptation to face. He would have to give that to God.

It was funny how the thought of losing someone made everything so clear. Not only had he decided he wanted a relationship with Jess when he’d heard she was missing, but he had wanted to talk to God then too. As he crossed the campus, he wished Kyle was still here to talk to. He might have been younger, but from his journal he appeared to have his life more together than Chad did.

When he got back to his room, Chad pulled Kyle’s journal out of his desk drawer and sat down to read it again. His brother’s words had been so full of wisdom, and as he read over Kyle’s entries of dealing with his own temptation around Amy, Chad knew what he had to do.

“Jesus? I know I wandered and thought I could do things my own way, but I realize I need you. Forgive me for sinning and help me to follow your ways now. Give me the strength to resist the physical temptation and show me how to be a man of God.”

As he finished the prayer, Chad looked back down at the journal. At the bottom of the entry, Kyle had penned: Pray Unceasingly. Okay, God, Chad thought. I’ll pray and trust that you’ll show me the way.
