Struggling with Living Life in God's Image?

I am struggling with living life in God's image. I sometimes do fine but then i put on my music and it gets me pumped but its all about getting with girls and cussing and protecting your reputation. It has a really good beat but it gets me mad and then I go do things i shouldn't. I know I should stop but this music is everywhere and when i hear it I instantly go to that place.

Struggling with Forgiveness?

I'm having a really hard time forgiving several different people who have hurt me and made my life miserable. They have all either apologized or gone out of my life, but I still have a hard time bringing myself to forgive them. I always tell myself that i have, but I can't really believe myself. I pray about it constantly, but i don't see any improvements. Any suggestions?

Spiritual Warfare?

I've been reading a book lately about spiritual warfare that was mainly about demons. The author, along with another well known Christian author, both implied that demons are responsible for our sinful thoughts and temptations. I always thought that was just our sinful nature and that demons COULD tempt us (i dont know about the sinful thoughts) and sometimes did, but that we were generally responsible for everything we thought or were tempted to do. How much of what we think ARE we responsible for, and are we really sinning if a demon puts sinful thoughts into our heads?

How do I know God is in my life?

How do I know God is in my life. I know he's always there and everything and that's what it says in the Bible, but how do I know that he's actually there for me?

God is becoming less and less important to me...What do I do?

I find myself caring less and less about the presence of God in my life. I realize He's the only way for salvation, and I am not against Him or anything, but for some reason He keeps becoming less important to me. I know it's wrong, and it scares me, but I don't know what to do.
