For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. (Hebrews 3:4, NKJV)
Prayer is a little like building a house. It takes a plan, a whole lot of time and effort, the right tools and a master builder.
Now if there’s anything a perfectionist likes, it’s a good plan, right? We like the tools, and we are willing to put in the time and effort. As a matter of fact, we are driven in many ways (and not all of them are healthy ways). We want to be efficient, and we focus on that end result, often at the expense of the process it takes to get there. These are all things we need to keep an eye on in our day to day life situations.
But we also have to watch out for these things in our prayer lives, because if we are not careful, we’ll focus so much on the plan that we’ll forget who the builder is.
Join me today as we talk more about prayer and a common perfectionism pitfall.
