if I had to choose the hardest, it would have to be when my Daughter was killed in a car accident 10 years ago.
I had to learn that i could not control everything.
do what I could and leave the rest to God.

Hardest lesson for me? That there is, most likely, nothing out there to listen to me. That I have to rely on myself.
Ironically, that was the best lesson I learned, too. It put me in control and let me shed a lot of questions and fears that I carried around with me for a long time.

I have had a most painful spiritual experience when my spiritual master left this world some years back.It took me years to learn to live without him and understand that he is there with me forever even though I cant see him with these mortal eyes.I was almost dead at that time.Since that time began my struggle and a tough journey that I dont know has still ended or not.Now I know that his warmth,guidance are still there with me.He is still there near me and would never leave me
Your questions are deep and beautiful.If you like I would be very happy to be in your contacts.

The hardest lesson for me to learn, is that I need to stay close to God to keep him close to me. If you can't feel the presence of God....who moved?
The most painful, was that people who call themselves Christian will totally ignore parts of the Bible. Most of the churches today, will preach till the cows come home, on the fruits of the spirit but totally ignore the gifts of the spirit,,like healing, speaking in tongues, etc..they say the fruits are for today but the gifts were just for back then....(where does the Bible say that, please?)

I think the fact that "works do not save, only what Jesus did for me". Although I had been taught this fact, it really didn't sink in, until I was married into a family who believed in works. I asked the Lord to teach me, I wanted to be sure. He took me through the pages of the Bible and made it so clear to me. That salvation is a gift through faith and acceptance of what Jesus did at Calvary.

To date, I would have to say the hardest spiritual lesson I have learned is what God really meant when he said I was to be my husband's helpmeet. HE's still working on me!

That not matter how hard i tried to believe, i never have even as a young child, that it's just a bunch of lies Then i felt like i had to completely rebuild myself from there. Like a born again atheist i guess, it was a tough path but i'm happy with where it's taken me.

True Story
About 10 years ago I was invited to church with a friend. I enjoyed going to church but didn't attend regularly. It was a time in my life when I was trying to do things "MY Way" and church didn't fit into my time-line.
My finances were VERY limited. That day I had three dollars on me and I knew I had to buy milk. But I was raised to tithe when attending church. I was to proud to tell my friend that I couldn't go with her because of money. At that moment I just gave it to God and said, "there is a reason you want me to go."
The sermon that morning spoke right to me...every word was meant for me. It was life changing...I wept something awful. I proudly walk up and looked into Jesus' eyes and dropped the three dollars in the plate. At that moment I promised myself and God that I would open up myself as a vessel for him....I would no longer do it "My Way" but lay my worries for him. I was going to have blind faith.
After church I went home. Walking up the walk to my house I found one dollar bill, then another, then another....six dollars in all. There was the sign...the sign that I needed to say, "Yes, in Him all things are possible."
Ten years later, I am by no means a pro at blind faith...but so much better.

I believe the most difficult lessons for us to learn are forgiveness, non-attachment, and pacifism. I am still learning all three.
