Find myself weeping and grieving and feeling so fearful for sinners in the face of God's coming judgment

More temptation comes for me to introduce myself to that attractive neighbor when I see her outside

Having told the Lord I can remain single for the rest of my life it becomes clear that Father thinks it would be better for me to be married

Realizing that even good learning (like what I've been doing about America's "Christian" history) can cause you to lose your peace and the presence of God while doing it

The Lord stops me from moving forward on a clever Gospel tract I had created

A moment of sexual temptation is allowed to test me and I pass with God's help

God shows me literal signs of the cross on my walks and moves on my heart the importance of preaching the cross as part of the Gospel and my teaching

Whereas once I had such confidence to preach God's word, I now feel I have no confidence whatsoever after God has opened my eyes more and more to my own weakness

A scary illustration that I pose could play out at the Judgment Seat of Christ where Jesus asks you to prove you were his follower by asking this question

Father continues to teach me to obey and to do so right away rather than following my own stubborn inclinations in my heart
