The struggle I encounter daily in my roles of wife and mother include: fear, worry, guilt over not doing enough for my kids and friends and neighbors, guilt over things I doing things I want to do, more fear, more worry, "harmless" addictive habits, foolish words, impatience, resentment and anger. I put together a list of Truths about God and living a life of knowing God that I focus on believing in order to walk in the freedom in Christ I have from the above sins. Please add others you can think of in the comments.
