What spiritual challenges and temptations do you expect to face? Not the easy ones, the weaknesses you don't like to think about.
How do you want to respond to them?
How can you train for that response?
I'm not thinking about plotting out dialog. Jesus deprecated that. Explaining the hope that is in you isn't what I'm talking about either.
When I remember some of the things I have faced and try to come up with exercises to train my reactions to try to do better next time, two things come quickly to mind. Some of those old stories about what saints did don't sound quite so outlandish, and "Lead us not into temptation". I can only do so much.
