My biggest struggle has been conquering anger and resentment; but God delivered me. It was an interesting incident because it was ripe for anger. I was working as a consultant with a local university back in 1987 and went to my car to drive to a meeting and saw that two cars had parked, side-by-side behind me, not in parking spaces, but directly behind me, preventing me from moving my car. I went back to the office and called the people I was to meet with and told them I would be unavoidedly delayed and didn't know just then when I could arrive. I tried a couple of obvious places closeby on campus; but no one knew who the cars belong to. Calmly, I sat in my car and waited, reading material for my now delayed meeting. About 30 minutes later, two enrolling students came up, got in their cars and drove off. I called the people for my meeting and told them I would be underway within five minutes. It was during the drive to the meeting that the Spirit revealed that not once during this situation had I been angry. I remember when I would have been so livid with rage that I would have probably thrashed their cars. But on this glorious day, God revealed that He had miraculously taken the spirit of anger from me after years of my praying and fasting for deliverance from this curse.
To God be the glory!

Wow! Awesome question!
Biggest struggle?~ Discerning God's Will in my life, and having the courage to do all He has called me to do....AND (a biggie) witnessing to my family....
How to deal?~ PRAYER, AND PRAYER, AND DID I MENTION PRAYER?... :)
Testimony?~ Well, no matter what I'm struggling with, He has proven Himself faithful to the last! And I usually end up chagrinning the fact that I should have never questioned to begin with...

My biggest struggle with being Christian was ... being Christian. So, I converted to Paganism. I've been happy ever since :)

integrity. I am a Christian, I've been saved, but still struggle with being true to myself. I deal with lesbian tendencies, haven't been a good steward of money and haven't used my God given talents to their utmost.
I think that is what keeps me from sharing the gospel, because I feel as though I have disqualified myself.
But I still want to share the good word.

My biggest struggle is being vocal. I have a hard time witnessing, testifying, and others. God is helping me through it though. =)

To put off the things of this world and obey his commandments more fully. More to the point sexual thoughts.

as a christian it was why does got hate me. or more accurately, why doesn't god care that everything frightens me, why do people say they can feel his love when all i feel is fear every time i pray or think about him?
took many years for me to figure that out.

The courage to evangelize. I use a lot of non-verbal ways of communicating my faith to others (i.e. t-shirts, pictures, tracts, music, etc.)
