What sin to you struggle with the most?

[Blessed2003]

Oh, I am so glad I read this thread. Sometimes I beat myself to death because on my sin. I struggle with drunkenness! and pride, I believe pride is the root of most of my sin. I struggle with speaking the truth. Not lying, necessarily, ofcourse I do, but I dont think I am a liar, I mean speaking the truth as in when God wants me to say something, I get scared, and question Him, and I am scared I won't be accepted because I speak the truth. I feel unworthy to carry the message I have been told to carry because I am a sinner, and I think, "why would God use me, the sinner" hahahah, because then it is HIM and not me, there goes my pride...lol..... I know we all struggle with sin, because as long as we live here in this earthly 'shell' we are at war within ourselves, our flesh wages war against our spirit man. It is so hard to always choose the right, and not the wrong. The hardest thing though is as I said, the message, I dont want to upset anybody, but I will be held accountable if I dont speak the truth....May GOd give us the strength to cling to what is good, and hate what is evil. Thank you everyone for all of your honesty.
God Bless,
B

Great thread! Thanks Christi for praying for these folks - you can also add me to the "pride" prayer group, ha-ha! I will do likewise myself for all of you, too! I'm very independent & pride is one of my toughies to overcome sometimes. I think about the good 'ole "seven deadlies" & I know "sloth" is also one that I struggle with - just plain laziness & procrastination, ha-ha!

I am so thankful I've been able to overcome some of the more "major" sins that have lead to such devastation in my life. That would not have been possible without accepting Jesus, let me tell ya! I used to smoke, drink, tried drugs, promiscuity, you name it! I can't believe the years I wasted when I was young. I've also seen a lot of guys on here admit to lust - that used to be one of mine also - years & years ago. I associated it too much with "love". Something a lot of women do these days. It's not just for guys, even though I know it's much more difficult for men to control with different hormonal things going on. In fact, I haven't ventured in there, but I noticed there's a Porn Support Group on CF and think that's one of many things that makes this website such a blessing!!!

The main thing with ANY of the sins you're struggling with is that you are NOT ALONE!!! Great idea to pray for each other, will do! God bless you all!

Thats one that I didnt confess... Sometimes I push the alchohol levels too high. The problem is im EXTREMLY alchohol tolerant, and so I just drink whatever I drink, and I dont know where my limit is.

But thats no excuse... none.

God Bless, metal.

One of the main reasons that I started this thread was because I wanted everyone to see how they are not alone, and it's ok to admit that you are struggling with certain things.

SuzQ, you said something that really hit home for me today, you said "ever since I accepted Jesus, He has been able to help me overcome the major sins" at almost the same time I read that I thought of a verse that our brother Paul quoted in Romans. He said that the Law was created so that sin might abound. Which means when we were not Christians we always thought that sex and drinking and murder were the only things that were bad, but when we become a Christian we realize that it is much more than that. I love you all and remember "Jesus paid a debt he didn't owe, because we owed a debt we couldn't pay"

Love in Christ,
Matt

I am most guilty of not studying the Bible as I should. My prayer is that God will help me with my laziness.
