There are so many challenges. I think it is kind of hard to pick just one. I think that maybe the greatest challenge for me would be learning how to be content where God has placed me. I'm ashamed to say that just the knowledge that He has put me there doesn't satisfy. I know that it should.

I think the biggest challenge is living like Christ. I know we all fall short of the glory of God, but being human is another story. I can share jesus with others but Im the first to yell a profanity at the guy who isnt doing the speed limit. I can ave Him in my heart but when Sunday comes around its so hard to get ou of bed to go to church especially after a bad week. I could probably list 10 other things, but you probably know that already.

Your challenge is one that many Christians struggle with. As human we want to know our destiny now. We are impatient and want things to move faster. You have to learn to accept the fact God has His own time schedule. Look at the story of Joseph, he thought his gift of dreams would come true very soon. But God has His own plans and time schedule for Joseph. Have faith and be patient God will show you they way.

Trying not to think negatively about non-Christians. There are so many people who persecute us just for being Christian that sometimes it gets so annoying, all I want to do is fight back. But that is not the right thing to do, so I have to control myself. That is probably the biggest challenge.

Trying to follow Matthew 18. And letting the love of Jesus Christ show throw me, so that people can notice "something" different and are drawn to me, which gives me an opportunity to share the the Gospel with them.
That's how I became a Christian.

My biggest challenge is hoping i say the right things to help non believers believe In God. I pray that no one dies without knowing Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. But the Bible tells us that there will be those who will reject God's love till it is too late and there will only be hell left for them.

I have a problem with forgiveness. I've been known to hold grudges forever, tho I don't believe in 'getting even'. I just fret and stew about something to the point that I have to ask God's help to let it go.

I have the same problem J.C. But I keep renewing my mind with Scripture and remember that If I am to do the will of the Father, He wants me to be content in whatever situation I find myself in and continue to trust in Him, no matter how hard or unpleasant it is. I can see a difference already in my attitude as I yield to the Spirit.

Controlling my tongue is a daily battle, as it is the last member to be tamed. I also have to work to forgive those who have harmed my loved ones. I find it Mich easier to forgive someone who hurts me. I also know that it is not an option to hold unforgiveness in my heart. I am still learning.

Being a good witness in the factory I work in. It is a challenge. I volunteered for third shift thinking it would be better, but it isn't.

Not forgiving myself when I fall used to take up considerable time for me. I had to realize that Christ paid the penalty for my sins and God is willing to be patient in perfecting me. It is better to get back in the race, rather than to brood along the side line forever.
