505			_a1. Bitterness -- It's hard to imagine a sweet little baby growing up to become a grouchy, bitter old man or woman -- but it happens -- 2. Inadequacy -- Onto the scene of myriad inadequate feelings God comes to help. . . -- 3. Rejection -- It's not easy being a reject. It hurts! How many of us know this. And God knows it, too -- 4. Failure -- Every generation of human history has its outstanding examples of failure. But the arena where it wages its fiercest battle is in individual lives. -- 5. Aloneness -- Aloneness and its more acutely painful outgrowth, loneliness, are among the most difficult problems of our day for people of all ages. -- Uncertainty -- It causes frustration, anxiety, mental and physical exhaustion. It's the direct opposite of confidence ... -- 7. Success -- It's different things to different people. And it usually is different things at different stages of one's life. 8. Vocation -- Being a Christian on the job isn't easy -- sometimes. It may hurt; it may cost you. But a Christian in his vocation cannot retreat to a spiritual enclave and let the world go by. . . -- 9. The "Blues" -- Most people get down now and again. But when you live perpetually in a low state, it's a serious condition. -- 10. Inferiority -- The desire for dominance runs through the whole human scene. And it takes its human toll. -- 11. Pressure -- Pressure can produce amusing or sobering responses in people. What does it do to you? How do you cope with it? -- 12. Death -- Do you remember when it first intruded your experience? What thoughts ran through your mind? 13. Suffering -- It's part of living and dying -- a part of human existence. . . -- 14. Guilt -- Like a prison it hold its victim captive. . . -- 15. Inflation -- It's a monster that seems to grow and grow without any indication of stopping.
