What is going on here Leanne? Are you having second thoughts about what your new questions said? I hope not!
I know you struggle with the bible Leanne! That is because it puts unreasonable demands on people and is full of contradictions!
Like the ones listed here

You know what i struggle with! I cannot stand racists or bigots! They get under my skin! I know i should just sit back and let the universe deal with them but i guess patience will come gradually!
Don't have second thoughts Leanne! Honestly! Tonight you spoke more sense than i have ever seen from you! You are struggling with that decision i know but you are doing the right thing! Give your mind and heart a break from the bad book Leanne! It may do you a lot of good!!

I guess trusting is an issue for me, like how can you truly trust a God who is not visible when you can't really trust the people He put into your life?.... How do I handle it? One day at a time.... I talk sometimes.... and think should do it more too but yeah the best bible verse that works for me is the one that says "Be not afraid, it is I" for whatever it is that stresses me I try to remember it is Him working behind the scenes to teach me something .... perhaps make me a better person so I need not be afraid.

I struggle with almost all of them things aswell as other things. We just have to be thankful that God is a forgiving God. The way i deal with them is to spend more time with God, i find the more time i spend with him the softer my heart becomes and i find it easier to live out his word. Remember no Christian is perfect..if we were perfect then we wouldnt need a saviour and i think you will agree we need a saviour. the only living person who was perfect was Jesus and he died so that sins like the ones you talk about are forgiven!

it's not the 'type' of sin we struggle with, it's the power of 'sin' overall.
the only answer to the sin problem is Jesus as He has provided forgiveness for it; but you must repent.
each time you do something, repent, say sorry and ask for forgiveness, then ask God to break the power of it on your life. Sometimes these things can come from many generations before you, so don't be alarmed!
GOD WANTS TO FIX YOU UP- He wants to heal His church, and He is. Give Him a chance, be patient, be prayerful, walk with Him minute by minute, and you WILL see the results you crave.

It is a biblical principal to honor your mother and father- the bible says it will be well with you if you do that- I would try to make peace with your family & ask forgiveness for anything you may have done that offended them- it's better for you in the long run. Whatever struggles I face, I always bring them before God & let him know that I can't win that battle- the bible says- Cast your care upon the Lord, and he will sustain you....the more time you spent with God and reading the bible, the less time you will find yourself thinking about yourself.....visit FaceEternity.com for more info.

I am temperemental.The slightest provocation will set me off but i have tried to change that by trying to put myself in other peoples shoes and have realized that no one wants to live with a time bomb!
So when i am angry i turn it around by thinking that maybe the person making me angry dont know any better and i conclude that its not worth it,count to ten and my adrenaline is back to normal.

Every christian struggles with sin,amazingly even the icons such as paul did:
In Rom 7:14-25 he says-
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
and in Rom8:1-4
1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in sinful man,[d] 4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit
so take heart and keep running towards the prize in christ jesus

loving those who persecute me.
Its hard to do, people mock me for being a christian and all that and Its hard to love all the time and not bite back or anything that I do sometimes and its not nice of me.
masturbation is another. that ones a hard one to break as it never will go away (the urge to) as I will allways be attached to my body tell im not in it anymore. (or raptured)
lazyness..oohhh boy...that one needs work. and it would help out alot of other things in my life.
Sad thing is, I know proverbs well enought to know what happens to lazy people if they stay lazy. but its hard not to.

Taking the Lord's name in vain (I'm working on stopping that one), Not keeping holy the Sabbath day (trying to work on that one too), lying (such a lost cause for me), and coveting my neighbor's goods.

honesty (due to the work I do cant be honest to others)
the biggest sin, is the failure i feel towards my broken marriage and the fact i let god leave my heart for a while and now have nothing.
