I struggle with selfishness and greed and pride and fear and lust and cigarettes and pot and arrogance. I am a wretch and have a hard time accepting God's forgiveness.

Do I win? ;)

I have to be honest and say fear. Right now with my husband being sick and awaiting chemo I fear that the cancer has returned, that every CAT scan they are going to find something. I cry a lot becau

As a Christian here in the modern world trying to live the life that Jesus wants us to live, what do you constantly struggle with?

This is something I think about a lot. For me, I think above all else, it is materialism. It

Great thread! I think this is a great place to share what we struggle with considering most of us would probably not be so bold at our churches. It's scriptual to share our struggles with each other and to pray for one another!

Me..personally...I struggle with many things.

Right now...I'm struggling to understand what I'm supposed to be doing with my life. I've recently quit my job to go back to school and get my degree. Sometimes I think I'm called to ministry...sometimes I think I need to get a degree that will earn me alot of money so that I can support my family, church, and the needy and still do some sort of ministry on the side. I ultimately believe we are all called to some sort of ministry.

Here's the tough one to admit (please pray for me) - Vicodin (pain killer). I seem to rationalize it in that it takes the edge off the pain of life and eases my mind. I know better and tell myself I'm going to stop....soon...but soon is always another day later. I'm learning what sacrifice is. I have to come to a place where yeilding myself to Him is more important than yeilding to my fleshly desires. I was so proud of the fact that I quit drinking a few years back (I was pretty bad off). I credit Him and give Him the glory. But now I'm back to another addictive behavior....why? I try to console myself thinking that's it's not as bad as alcohol in that I'm not really wiped out by it and can usually function normally. But I know it is a wedge between me and Him. Why would anyone ever choose a wedge? I'm convinced that it has something to do with not fully trusting His Word. Somewhere I'm taking back a part of my life that I don't feel He's dealing with to my satisfaction. Is it my lack of job and going back to school? There's so much that I could say here but will cut it short. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!

My main struggle???........everytime I pick up a newspaper or watch the news on telly I become a rabid cynic. I realise that it is hypocritical (who is without sin) but for me it is a HUGE struggle ;)

I struggle with opening my mouth and letting my opinion just fly right out of it.

I am very opinionated and argumentative about what I believe to be right and wrong.

I do very well on these boards because I stop and think about what to type, and decide that on a lot of threads it is better to keep out of it so I put one hand on the mouse and the other in my lap. :emot-wave::taped::wub:

I really do enjoy reading and learning how other people think though and on some occasions have even changed my mind on some things. :24:

Seriously in my real life the Lord is working on me in this area and I am getting better.Sometimes there is maybe a little gray in life, not just black or white. ;)

I struggle with the fear of letting my G-d down by my lack of faith and nagging doubts. More than anything in the world I want to please G-d and sometimes I feel like all I ever is ask for forgiveness and struggle against Him.

I struggle with obedience. There are times when I put me before Christ and I don't know why. :emot-hug:

May God bless you

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
