Spiritual weaknesses?

[Apollo Celestio]

I was asked to make a list of weaknesses on Sunday that may impede my walk with God. Just wondering what yours are, and maybe we can help each other here. Sin struggles and such.

I couldn't really think of anything that sticks out other than that I don't read the bible everyday, but I'm not sure that is even a divine mandate.
I don't mind being judged if you guys notice anything, I know I'm not perfect..
Maybe my insociability keeps me from sharing my faith. And I tend to have problems with sympathy too..
How about you all?

Well lately I haven't been reading the Bible daily and I don't pray as much as I should.

Since we are spiritual beings, I think that any major weakness will qualify as a "spiritual weakness", so...any area in your life where you feel you're lacking should make the list.

I tend to be very impulsive, and will sometimes crash my way forward through obstacles and ignore warnings.

I can be impatient, like most of us.

I tend to form hasty opinions of people.

Since I'm aware of all of these things, I AM working on them

To know your self is a wonderful thing, but most can not judge how they really are. Even close friends may not help because most hide who they really are.

Only you can be what you want to be and that take hard work. You understand your short comings and you can change them.
Many just say that is how I am, but you can change if you work on it. "if you really want to"
Be honest with your self.

Well lately I haven't been reading the Bible daily and I don't pray as much as I should.

This is me too becky.

Also sometimes my desire for love is greater than my desire for Christ.

Patience is a big one for me, I lack it in far to many areas, but it is something I try to work on.

Trusting God/other people is a huge weakness for me. I'm getting better about trusting God though anyway, and allowing myself to see His signs and be guided by Him the best I can.

Basically, we're all human, we all fail, but that's what Jesus' blood was there for, to cover all our sins.

I don't read my bible like I should, I don't pray like I should. I don't go to church like I should. I don't fast, or just listen for God to talk because I am always talking. I don't have the faith of a mustard seed like I should.

I have lots.

Overall, apathy.

I also struggle with my prayer life quite a bit.

God's grace is amazing, though. It blows me away how He constantly wrestles with my heart. My sinful nature is big, but God's power is even bigger.

Indeed. I found a couple more, I think I lie too much. (1 is too much..) And it's not so much doing what I shouldn't be doing, but not doing what I should be doing..

A couple things include wasting too much time and only praying when I need help rather then at all times. (others include not reading my Bible enough, not being brave enough to witness to others about all God has done for me, and more)

(well, I pray to thank God for the food and have recently started praying for others, but praying for myself has been more focused when I have been in trouble)
