Joe,

Good post. It is easy to meander in discussion groups and attempt to keep our spiritual growth at status quo. As we all know there is no such thing as status quo. We are either moving ahead or somewhat drowning. These types of application questions are much needed.

My struggles I will keep simple but they need much prayer

1 - My thought life is dragging me down I'm afraid.

2 - I think I'm angry at a supervisor that I mask well, but he makes me so mad (as well as almost everyone in the work group). I'm the type to keep it within me, but I notice it creeping out. In fact, there might be a few others on the list

3 - As I mentioned above, I spend way too much time with Christian forums, and although they can be very profitable, I need to buckle down in my time with the Lord.

4 - Probably loneliness, but again I can hide it well.

5 - Lack of faith. I see our society rejecting biblical Christianity at every turn, and it's difficult to keep on keepin' on. I wish it wouldn't bother me so much. Maybe I want some validation for myself, and I'm really not worried about our society. That's it pride.

These are just some of the major ones.
