Letting go of fear and trusting my Heavenly Father and believing that I am actually LOVED unconditionally.
It is only human to feel unworthy, self-critical, distrusting, doubtful etc. In addition many of us were taught that we somehow have to EARN God's love, which is impossible! You cannot earn a gift.
We also expect judgement and punishment all the time so we keep fault finding in ourselves and in others. Letting go of that is very hard.
I think this is exactly why it is so hard to accept God's love and trust him completely because we cannot believe it can be THAT easy! All the liberation! All the undeserved love! It scares people, me included. I think, "Surely it must come with strings attached."
We have come to expect harshness and judgement at every turn. We do it to ourselves and others and assume God is just as petty and preoccupied with our hang-ups as we are.

I just want to say that this is a great question. Anyway, my answer is absolute trust. I have a hard time believing that God is going to do things in my life. I do not think that He is incapable, I just always wonder things like: "Why would I deserve that?" or "God could be helping someone with bigger problms." I have always known that God can do, I just question what will He do with and for me.

Make fun of other people. I am Brazilian and Brazilians have a great sense of humor, sometimes kinda spicy.
Forgive two mean ladies I had the misfortune to meet. One was my boss and the other one my ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. Everyone else, I forgave.
Pray more often... I do, but I wish I could pray more.
That's all, I guess...
Peace!

LOST SPIRITS! I have tried for most of my adult life and all of my time here as a "Christian" to reach out a helping hand and having it slapped away, do to my beliefs I can only offer the hand once then must move on. THAT IS MY SADNESS!

Be tolerant of christians. I know that everyone is on their own path and comes to different truths....but christians are honestly the hardest thing in the world for me to deal with. It does affect my spiritual life.....and since they are not likely to change ever...I'll have to take the high road myself someday.

For me it's to fully trust God. The Christian walk is a progression and as we grow in Christ and allow ourselves to be guided and directed by his Holy Spirit we learn to trust Him more and yield to that voice inside us. So, we can overcome our obstacles, but we cannot do it in our strength. We have to give up, let go and allow God to take over.

It's hardest for me to forgive people who have done really bad things to me and to the people I love. I do try but it's hard.
