I'm talking about something that would be extremely hard for you to do, something you might even actually tell Him no to at first. If you don't want to share the first thing that comes to mind, you can share the next thing.
If you can't think of anything at all, I pray that something comes along, not to make you feel bad or in "dire pain", but that your faith may be tested. It could just be an Abraham experience where God wants to see if you're at least willing to give it up.

I have a testimony that God has already delivered me from several things, smoking pot and cigarettes, and cussing just to name a few. Now that I have grown more and more spiritually I guess the first thing that comes to my mind would be to stop being judgmental.

I was going to say TV but I am almost fed up with that. I already threw away some of my music that I really liked. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. Honestly, I can't thing of anything, hey maybe on second thought, it would be being in R & S, that has been taking up a lot of my time lately.

A deep love i still have for an ex lover which i still deal with on daily bases. I know God wants us to love our neighbours as we love ourselves but in my case i see my ex as a perfect creation in every aspect to the point i am willing to lay down everything for him instead of God which is unthinkable but very true. I actually love him more than i even love myself, and based on how the relationship went, i didn't consider myself worthy to anymore. Only the passage of time changed this prospective but hasn't quite healed me yet. So i am sure God will want me give it up and be over it. I wouldn't be surprised if He asked me that but i will find it very tempting since my ex was the first love of my life. But i will be willing to give it a try since it was God who created him.
P.S. I'm working on this issue of mine. I met him when i was fourteen and we even went to the same middle and high school so it's very rough

I am addicted to nicotine gum as I quit smoking 3 1/2 years ago. I have tried giving it up several times and have not been successful. It is my one vice and one that I hope to be able to (with God's help) to conquer one day.

definitely cigerettes, It has been a struggle for me. I have used many excusses as to why I still do it....but I quit when i was pregnant and I picked it back up again....I used it as a stress relief, when all i needed was God... So if anyone reads this answer please pray that God will give me strength to stop and never start again.

I agree, I wouldn't give up my life. I want to raise children and know I will be a good mom and give my children 100% of what they need and deserve. I havent finished my duties here yet.

You worded the question wrong. According to the format of the question, the answer is up to God. The proper question is,"If God let you choose something to give up to Him, what would it be?" And I would choose carnal temptation.

I wouldn't want to give up my life. At least not right now. I haven't even finished school!
