Anxiety
Most people struggle with anxious thoughts, in various degrees. I've learned that when I do have anxious thoughts, I have to stay disciplined in presenting those anxious thoughts to God. The Bible says over and over to not hold your struggles internally, but to present them to God so that he can take them away from your mind. If our mind is fixated on anxious thoughts, we take away valuable time we could be spending on loving our family and friends, and sharing God's word with others.
To me, this is an incredibly powerful scripture that tells us exactly what we are to do when those thoughts enter our mind (and they will). The closer we come to God, the more we are tempted by sin b/c Satan is constantly trying to get in the middle of our relationship with God. What I continue to work on is presenting all my anxious thoughts to God and asking him to lead me.
