Answer 1

I personally struggle with relying on God instead of myself. I am a worry wort and often times try to fix things myself. This usually ends up in a mess and when I give it to God things work out, not always the way I would like but still they work out. Thank you for sharing your struggles. As Christians we need to support and build each other up as well as help each other with our struggles.

Answer 2

Err. . . . Let me see, I think it should be Fruit of the spirit. Hum . . . in my humble understanding, these are all the character that should be projected by the believers. Thus, friut, and not fruits. All are but one.

At some point, I may have problem with this portion of the 'fruit'. When I move on to the next level, my problem may with the other portion of the 'fruit'.

God is ever moulding us, sharping us to be like him everyday, only if we are willing to let him lead.

Cheers
